Annual Pass and ez pay

[Kmygrl73]

I am going to buy our 1st annual passes online with the EZ pay for our April 22nd trip. Should I wait as close as possible to purchase them online or I could do it now? I start paying when I purchase them right?
Also, is there a discount for the all day dining if you are an annual passholder?
thanks in advance for any help, We are so excited to be buying annual passes this year!!

I would buy a couple of days before you leave for your trip. I bought the 2 year annual pass last July for our August trip and the Annual pass was dated for the July date. I had incorrectly assumed the Annual Pass date would be the first day that I used it but it was the date I bought it. I decided to get the 2 year Annual pass because it was just $50 more and gives an extra year of visits. When we visited in August, I just showed the voucher and did not have to pay for parking.

I have not been able to find any discount on the all day dining - there is discounts if you OOP pay but haven't found any discount for the dining. I think the dining is a great deal because it includes bottles of water and my 4 year will drink at least 3 bottles of water while we are there. We will be down there April 24-May 2 and visiting SeaWorld on May 1 and plan on the all day dining plan.

I think you get the regular 10% off the all day dining like you do for all meals at SW. I think instead of $29.99 we paid $27 something.

Good to know so did you buy on-line or at the park?

If you go right now to purchase online with passholder discount it's not an available option. I'm not sure if it is available for discount in person right now, but it is also high season... so that would have something to do with it.

If there are discounts available you will want to wait until you get there to purchase, as you won't be able to log into an online account until after you get your actual passes. You can purchase at the Guest Services across from Shamu Emporium once you're inside (And lines there will usually be shorter as well).

We bought ours at the park. Quick and easy there, too.

we bought ours at the park, and got vouchers for the price of the parking. So no money wasted on that, just bring in your parking reciept.

I would go with the 2yr pass, A. It's cheaper per month, and B. You're locked in at that rate till you cancel after your initial contract is up. So might as well save yourself a few bucks each month, and you'll probably will come back more often if you have that pass.

I do believe you get your 10% off all day dining too. I know they offered it during the weekend BBQ picnic in Feb/March.
