Theme park tickets: compare before you buy
UK-only tickets (like longer multi-day Disney tickets) can be great value if you'll actually use all the days. If you won't, they're a waste. SeaWorld's Discovery Cove is a different kind of day: all-inclusive food and drink, and a once-in-a-lifetime dolphin swim if you want it.

Shoestring tip: one ticket for Discovery Cove plus 14 days of SeaWorld & Aquatica
One ticket: an all-inclusive Discovery Cove day PLUS 14 consecutive days of SeaWorld Orlando & Aquatica.
What that gets a budget traveller: a quieter all-inclusive day (food, soft drinks, and select beer/wine for over-21s, gear and parking included), then two weeks where you can mix SeaWorld show and ride days with Aquatica water-park days, without buying separate tickets for each. The 14 days run consecutively around your Discovery Cove date. Book early: daily attendance is limited. official pricing FAQ
What's included on the Discovery Cove day (official listing): breakfast and lunch, unlimited snacks, non-alcoholic drinks, and select beer and wine for guests aged 21+ with ID; wetsuit or swim vest, snorkel gear (souvenir snorkel), towels, lockers, animal-safe sunscreen, showers; complimentary parking at Discovery Cove; plus the lagoons and beaches (Grand Reef, Freshwater Oasis, Explorer's Aviary, Serenity Bay, Wind-Away River, Flamingo Point). amenities
Dolphin swim option: the Signature Dolphin Swim adds a reserved ~30-minute swim (groups of up to nine). Minimum age 6 and at least 42 inches tall; ages 6–12 need a paying adult who is also swimming. Day Resort/non-swim packages skip the dolphin and cost less. Dolphin Lagoon
Package vs Ultimate: the Package (Floridatix calls it "Standard Package") adds 14 consecutive days at SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica. The Ultimate also adds Busch Gardens Tampa and free parking at the sister parks. Sister-park parking is not free on the non-Ultimate Package. pricing
Honest caveats: it's still an upfront cost; compare it with your real park-day food and parking spend. Reservations are required and popular dates fill up. Dolphin photo packages cost extra. Alcohol is select beer and wine only, for guests 21+ with ID.

SeaWorld Orlando & Aquatica
SeaWorld Orlando is the main theme park: coasters (like Mako and the Kraken), animal habitats and shows. Ticket options and park hours change by season; check the official site before you book seaworld.com/orlando.
Aquatica Orlando is SeaWorld's water park, next door. It's a good rest-day option in hot weather. If you buy a Discovery Cove Package or Ultimate, Aquatica is included in the 14-day pass aquatica.com/orlando.
A dated SeaWorld/Aquatica gate and UK reseller price table is coming once we've checked several sellers on the same day.
Skint ticket rules
- Count your real park days first. Rest days are cheap days. See sample budgets.
- Check UK seller protections (ABTA membership, how you pay).
- Watch for bundled extras you won't use (but Discovery Cove's food-and-drink bundle is often the point).
- Only buy from official sites or established sellers. Avoid unofficial resales on social media.
- Getting to the parks without a hire car? See rideshare, Waymo and the I-RIDE Trolley.
