Crap! What happened to the buy one day get one free offer? - The DIS Discussion Forums

DisneyFive · 09-20-2012, 12:29 PM

Went to purchase tickets today for our visit(s) to Seaworld next week only to find out they eliminated the Buy a single day, get the second day free offer!

I know it's my fault for not buying the tickets when the offer was there, but they seemed to run this offer all the time. I didn't realize that it comes and goes!

We had two days (of our 9) in our schedule for Seaworld. Now we're trying to figure out what to do. The next cheapest option is to buy the 14 day unlimited Seaworld/Aquatica option, but that bumps up the price $40 per person, so about $200 more for our family of 5. Argh.

Anyone know of any offers, or anything to help? Thanks.

My guess (and it is totally just a guess) would be that they removed it to make way for another offer, which would pop up shortly. I read that last year at about this time they started offering a free child admission with an adult admission. I've got my fingers crossed for that one!

Not sure if you were looking for two days to SW but they did have an "add on" Aquatica type thing to your ticket for around $25 once you got to SW. We LOVED Aquatica. Good luck.

Whew!!!!

So I called SeaWorld and we can upgrade a one day ticket to a two day ticket for $10 each ticket. We will just need to do it while we’re in the park the first day. So, a $50 mistake for our family of five if we decide on the second day.

Come to find out, the buy one get one free offer expired only two days ago! Argh!

You can purchase the Fun Card. It is for unlimited admission until December 31, 2012. You do not have to be a Florida Resident to get this pass. I emailed them in March about it and they told me it was for everybody. It is 84.99 for adults and 76.99 for children 3-9. When you click on the Buy Tickets page, it will be listed above the package deals and multi-park tickets. It will say Annual Pass and Fun Card.

Very cool! That is a great option. Thank you for the info.

Right now I'm leaning towards adding an extra day for $10 per person, if we decide for the second day. That way, if we get everything in during our first day, we'll be spared the extra $10 pp. Single day tickets are $74.99 per adult and $66.99 per child.

If we were going back this year I would definately get the fun card (heck, I still might). At this point I'm leaning toward the single park ticket and paying the $10 pp for the second day if we want to go the 2nd day. (which is the same price total as the fun card)

Thanks again.

I called SeaWorld to find out how long the kids free tickets promotion with the vacation packages would last and she was telling me that the 2nd day free promotion was fixing to end.
