Busch Gardens Tampa & McDonalds2011

[traveljunkie]

Just thought I'd post my experience...take it with a grain of salt for this ALWAYS being the case. I assume no responsibility if this doesn't work for you ....I just printed out my vouchers for a BGT visit tomorrow. I used the Mcdonalds2011 code.

Here's what my voucher says:

Legal terms: this ticket may not be copied, transferred or resold. This eticket is only valid for the person listed on this eticket....offer subject to change without notice. Parking not included. Not valid for 2nd day free. Valid through August 31st, 2011

BUT on the same page it says: Present this E-ticket to the Guest Relations Office before exiting Busch Gardens during your 1st visit to receive your 2nd visit free.
*valid for 1 additional visit during regularly scheduled park hours for up to 7 consectutive days from date of first visit.

*non-transferable and subject to change without notice. Parking not included.


SOOOOO, we changed our plans to NOT go a second day and now we may go a couple of hours before flying out. I will post if we get the 2nd day free.

Adult: $57.99
tax: 4.06
Total $62.05

If it says it, they might go ahead and honor it, it won't hurt to try!

Thats a good price. As for 2nd day? Maybe they figure after being there a day you might want to come back a 2nd day. Since it states you can't get 2nd day first on the e-ticket, they might have you upgrade to a ticket that does allow 2nd day?????
But I think you will be able to do the 2nd day without paying more. After all coming back to the park a 2nd day means another $15 they make from parking and probably $100 for food and some money will be spent on souvenirs, too. Its a win win situation.

I was at Busch Gardens yesterday. I went to Guest Relations and without delay or question, I was given 6 - 2nd day passes (I had to show my ID not all 6 Id's). The pass has each person's name on it and it says 'valid 1 day within 6 days of visit'.

Have fun! I know we did!!!

Has anyone tried the 2nd day with the McDonalds code at Seaworld in Orlando

I have the same question as janastevens:

Has anyone tried the 2nd day with the McDonalds code at Seaworld in Orlando?

We will be there mid-april for 2 days and am trying to decide to risk this or buy the south west discount tickets at the gate

Thanks!

You might want to call SW Orlando and ask about the SouthWest RR discount to see if it's still valid for mid April. There was someone who called SeaW and was told that the SouthWRR discount was ending 3/31. Someone else called and was told it was not ending.

Just so you don't end up w/ no discount at all....

Yep, that's exactly what our e-ticket for SeaWorld says. I, of course, was distracted by the big "2nd Day Free" icon and didn't see that they do say in the fine print that it's NOT valid for the free 2nd day. The damn ticket contradicts itself! Almost like false advertising or whatever, especially when the "2nd Day Free" icon is 10x the size as the tiny fine print!

We're only planning 1 day so it's not a big deal, but I though maybe 1 day when DH is golfing I'd take DD there if the 2nd day was free. Granted we'll pay for parking and food.
Thanks for posting this worked at BG.... fingers crossed it might be an option for us and others at SW.

When does it ask for the code for BUSCH GARDENS...I have gone through the purchase up to giving credit card info and stopped before entering credit card info...

David,
When you go to the Busch Gardens sight, (here's what I did) pick the 1day adult for child's price. When it goes to the next page (brown page), Put the code in at the top of the page where it says promo code. It will then forward to the Seaworld page and the new price will appear. It does say on the purchase page: valid for 1 day admission only. On the ticket voucher it says valid for one day and also valid for 2nd day....I wasn't sure if it was going to work. It was still lower than the SW discount and we were only planning for 1 day (but were able to get the 2nd day free too). I printed out the ticket and scanned it right at the turnstiles (no need to go to the ticket window.) Hope this makes sense!
