I would like to purchase 4 tickets for DC with dolphin swims. We are planning to go in Oct and would like to also do 1 day at SW and 1 at Aquatica. I was planning to order tickets through Undercover Tourist. Is there any disadvantage to ordering through UC vs. the DC web site? Would there be any benefit to waiting to see if there are any deals, or am I just better off ordering now when there is availability? Thanks in advance.

Unless there is a notable price difference, I would book direct with DC. That way, if a sale is offered between the time you book and the date of your visit, you can easily cancel and rebook directly with DC guest services by phone (they are awesome to deal with).

If you are looking for a specific date and are comfortable with the current price, I would definitely book now. Rates can (and do) often increase as availability decreases, so waiting could cost you more in the long run.

As I have already mentioned, if DC extends a special offer for your dates after you book, you can easily rebook at the new rate with a phone call.

We are booked for two dates in October as well. Can't wait!

On a previous thread about this, someone said that UT could not confirm if tickets bought through them would be eligible for the free one time date change that DC offers. I booked directly with DC also for Sept. If the weather looks bad, they will let you change your day.

Thanks all! I did not know that about the one time date change, or the price guarantee. Good to know.
