Few SW and Passport Questions

[taliategan]

I purchased a 1 year SW passport (the $ 99.00 one) for upcoming short June trip and also when I will be back with my family in January. I am probably going to SW on arrival night - if plane arrival is fairly close to schedule (at 5:50 p.m.) and obtaining rental car does not take very long. I am hoping to arrive in the 7:30 to 8:00 range if all goes well, with the park closing at 10:00. I will also be at SW on my departure day from 9:00 to 3:00/4:00 range.

Any recommendations on what I should do at night - the June show schedule is not out yet, but I am thinking it should be close to the end of May schedule in which the park also closes at 10:00. I think a couple of the shows run at night, along with the Mystify.

Will the passport I purchased allow me to do the Manta preview for passport holders, or is a higher level passport needed for this.

I believe the passport I purchased has a free parking perk - I obtained the e-mail ticket for the passport, and will need to convert into a passport ticket at the gate. Will I have to pay for parking the first time or will the e-mail ticket be sufficient.

Thanks for any responses.

One thing I would advise is to see the day time shows before you go to Sea Lions Tonight. It is a spoof on the park but it is funnier if you have ridden the rides and seen the shows.

Your 1 year passport will get you in at 8AM to ride Manta from May 26-June 30. Are you making this trip alone. Everyone that gets in at 8 needs a 1 or 2 year pass.

I would definitely recommend Shamu Rocks, I just saw it for the first time a few weeks ago. We have annual passports but I have never been there late enough to see it.

Parking...all you have to do is show them that you purchased your pass online, and they will let ya go.

Apparently Manta is open at some times so maybe try to hit that before or after Shamu Rocks. Two hours isn't gonna get ya very far at SW but it's always worth going.

Have fun!

our first day into the park, we didn't buy our tickets online or anything. But we had to pay for parking, and then at the ticket counter they gave us 2 5$ shamu bucks to used in the park on merchandise. Don't forget to show your ticket then too, you get 10% off including food.

I didn't really enjoy mystify much. Think of a water/fireworks only of fantasmic. Where they use water as movie screens.

Shamu rocks in amazing, and I love sea lions tonight. We usually catch those two shows at the end of our day. And leave before the fireworks.
