Just wanted to post a few comments on our day we spent at Discovery Cove Monday November 5th. It was the first time we’ve been there.
1. Beautiful park! Lots of pretty and peaceful areas to walk through.
2. The dolphin swim was incredible and made the day worth it! I’ve always wanted to do this and I’m so glad I did. The photos they got were also beautiful!
3. Not super impressed with their lockers. We had a hard time finding ones that the key was very easy to turn- it took us several minutes to open one of them. We also had an employee tell us our family of six all needed to use only ONE locker, which seemed ridiculous because even up until the end of the day there were many unused lockers. We also couldn’t even come close to fitting everyone’s shoes, clothes, purses, and souvenirs in one locker. Needless to say we moved to a different area and used more than one!
4. Their meal system definitely needs work. For breakfast we waited over 30 minutes in a line that barely seemed to move. At lunchtime- the line was moving quicker, but then we noticed they closed one side so that immediately made for long lines again. Between the 6 of us we tried quite a few menu items and none of them were something I’d go back for.
Overall opinion: I’m so glad I got to experience the dolphin swim, but when we compare it to the magic of Disney, we all agree it’s not something our family plans to go back to.
