Which is cheaper online or at the gate?? I'm nervous about purchasing online as the weather is calling for scattered T Storms. Advice??

I couldn't really tell ya whether they're cheaper at the gate or online, but someone else might be able to.

However, I just wanted to mention that in Florida the weather forecast is almost ALWAYS predicting a chance of thunderstorms. That's just how our weather goes here... it can generally be expected to rain briefly nearly every afternoon during our 'wet season' (aka, summer). So don't let that deter you! =)

I second this. Each time I've been to Sea World in the summer, we got a shower. Everyone pulls out their ponchos and umbrellas, or ducks under a roof. Ten minutes later, things are up and humming again. Last year, we had a shower while standing in the second-day-free line. I had no umbrella; we dealt with it. Actually, it was pretty refreshing, though I'm sure we looked horrendous! :)

It would be cheaper to purchase online. You can get adult tickets for the price of a child's when buying online. If you are concerned about the weather you can still buy them in advance. There are no dates on the tickets so I don't believe they would expire. If it turns out to be bad weather you could pick a different day.

Also note that tickets purchased online can be refunded. I did this last year; had purchased e-tickets, but then found out I could get some with credit card points. Sent the e-tickets in with an explanation of the situation and received a full refund credit on my next month's statement.

I just spoke to someone at Sea World to ask if the tickets purchased online ever expire and was told they expire one year from purchase.
