We had a voucher when we bought our DC tickets and like Garry our first port of call was Seaworld where we went through the DC entrance to the park with the voucher with no queueing. When we went to Busch Gardens again before our DC visit we had to go to the Guest Services with our voucher (our DC experience was on the middle Saturday of our stay) and they issued us with paper tickets but that took all of 10 minutes. When we went to DC we had the photo passes given to us with a bar code on them and we then scanned them whenever we went back to Seaworld and to Aquatica.

That was my understanding as well Wendy, if you went to DC on the first day of your holiday then you get your tickets (photo pass) for the other parks there. The voucher is given in case you want to go to one of the other parks before you have been to DC. That way you can get into the parks by using your voucher. The can't send tickets for this deal as there is no tickets. Just the DC trip which becomes a photo pass.

Only been back a few days, the first park we visited was DC, sneaky one I did, was pulled up right in front of DC and a young lady came to the car to whom we had a nice little chat, she told me to go park the car, when i came back she was waiting for me and family, and even that there was a little que she took us straight to the desk, took our booking name and my passport and did our photo pass for us, which we also used and the other parks.

So just to double check. Its pefectly normal to get vouchers for DC as when we go to DC they will give us a photo pass that will allow us entry in to SeaWorld, Busch Gardens & Aqatica..

Does anyone online actually do real tickets or are they all vouchers?

Even when you book direct you only ever get an eticket to present at DC check in.

We used the paper vouchers (just scanned the bar code) at the entrance to enter SW and BG and then got the photo pass at DC (on the day we booked), we could then use these to go to AQ, SW and BG. Didn't have to go to any kiosk at any of the parks.

Hi Gary

we're off to Florida on 25 March haven't been for 7 years so a bit rusty - you seem to be asking all the questions I need to know the answers to so I've been following your messages! (Hope you don't mind!) I notice the company that seems to be recommended for Discovery Cove has been blanked out would you mind e-mailing me direct with the company as we are hoping to get our park tickets booked this weekend and any savings would help when your spending this kind of money!!!!

You have a DM Mrs G.

When we went we used the DC photo pass to go in the other parks, but we went to BG first and had to sort out at a little booth near the entrance. 1 member of staff and although we were 5th in the queue of traffic waiting to go in there was someone in front of us. They were not speedy! When planning for the summer we will make sure we go to DC first to avoid this.

Our DC tickets have arrived and it says "Turnstile Ready. You are ready to start your Adventure, please proceed directly to the turnstiles at the park!". The photo shows Busch Gardens, SeaWorld and Aquatica... I guess there is no need to visit the booth to exchange the tickets now?

There isn't any need to go the booths, just swipe the barcode on your voucher!
