Reservations Only Attractions in Orlando

The first time I went to Florida I was amazed at all there was to do one shop after another, one attraction after another and so on. Well we quickly learned that out of everything there is to do in Orlando, half of it, you need a reservation do get into. So for a really fun vacation, keep in mind something for everyone to do and book your plans in as much notice as you can.

Mind you that some of these places take a week in advance to book, 2 of them require a month plus reservations.

Discovery Cove is a fun place for the entire family. You can swim with the dolphins, be a trainer for a day, or spend the day exploring all the attractions they have to offer. Dolphin Cove is one of the places I mentioned before about booking. During the summer months, you will need to book at least 2 months in advance. Dolphin Cove is an "all inclusive" type of attraction. They supply everything from the wet suits to the food. This is an awesome family fun adventure! Prices start at $189.00 without swimming with dolphins. For more information on Discovery Cove visit their website at www.discoverycove.com
