We have never been to Discovery Cove but do plan on going there with the entire family in November.

We will be able to get in a bit cheaper since we have Sea World annual passes, but we all plan on doing the Dolphin swim and the Sea Venture.

Have any of you done the Sea Venture where you go under the water with the big bubble thing over your head?

My youngest son, DS11 is a little reluctant to do the Sea Venture because he is afraid the air flow will stop working while he is under water.

We are going to be able to get in with the Dolphin swim package for $169 per person then you add on the Sea Venture and that is another $59 per person, so the whole day is going to cost us around $1200.

That is a big chunk of our entire trip cost this time but I think it will be a unique experience that my kids will never forget.

Is it as awesome as I hope it is or could you have done without it once you did it and know what it is about?

Do you remember what type of food choices they have for breakfast and lunch?

I am just curious about the food because I am a vegetarian and when on vacation I usually get stuck eating a ton of Cheese pizzas or Salad. I don't mind the salad but I get sick of the pizza.

I wonder if they have something like Biscuits and Gravy at breakfast since I don't eat meat or Eggs I will be limited on what I have to eat there. I am just trying to determine if I need to try and grab a bite to eat before I get there in the morning. I don't eat Yogurt or Oatmeal but I do eat fruit. Would they have anything for me there?

Do you know if they offer any vegetarian choices for lunch like salads or veggies?

I don't drink but my husband might have the occasional Margarita when we go out to eat Mexican food, so I think he might sample one of the free cocktails. Do they have Margaritas or Daqaries (sp) or anything mild like that?

And for those of you who have done it, would you ever pay to do it again someday or was once enough?

I think by doing the Dolphin swim AND the Sea Venture we will probably be able to make an entire day out of it...

How expensive is the photo package and the video? I imagine it is pretty expensive being a theme/water park and all but just trying to get an idea of what it costs. Can we have all 5 of our family's photos on one disc or on one video?

Thanks in advance for all your info and advice!

We've been to Discovery Cove twice now, but the last time we were there wsa back in 2007, so I can't help with some of your questions. For us, it was worth every penny both times and we did the dolphin swim both times. I actually enjoyed it more second time around, as I knew exactly what to expect.

We bought the CD of photos. I don't remember how much it was, but I do remember we got some amazing photos that we wouldn't have got otherwise.

I eat fish, but not meat and I enjoyed the offerings they had. From memory, it was quite an expansive buffet and I doubt you'd have a problem finding something to eat.

I was there in 2000 before it was open to the public during the press opening. I was on my honeymoon and my uncle had gotten passes for us. It was honestly one of the most amazing experiences. I am a dolphin lover, so being able to swim with them was awesome. I don't remember much since it was so long ago, but I know that they had acceptable vegetarian options for me. You'll need to talk with the dining supervisor when you arrive to let them know your situation so that they are aware.
