Buying park tickets in Orlando

Hi,

I am going to Orlando in June, and started looking at where to buy theme park tickets from. I looked on undercover tourist, but the shorter 2 day tickets seem to be more expensive than buying at the gate.

I am going to be there 5 days, and really want to go to Disney and discovery cove. Am I right in thinking that the dolphin swim at discovery cove comes with the entrance to sea world?

also do people know of any discount codes for discovery code. also with the photo packages, do you just buy them when your there?

Thanks for any help! :)

    Hi, I was in florida at easter 2010, and tho I didn't do disney or discovery cove, the universal / islands of adventure tix were LOTS cheaper bought before hand. I seen people giving as much for one day at the gate, than we had give for one week for a ticket pre bought before travel.

    Buying a Discovery Cove ticket does include entrance to SeaWorld but you do need to book in advance. They recommend booking a month in advance, no idea how cautious or realistic that is, but it is true that they limit the numbers of guests per day, so the last you'd want to do is get out there and find you couldn't get in. When we went that was what I really loved as it was so much less crowded than the other parks
