Partner Hotels SeaWorld – Benefits

[marcus.ka]

I know that SeaWorld has 6 partner hotels. But I can nowhere find an overview about the benefits you have in the park while staying at these hotels.
I red somewhere that there are benefits like a Fastpass and something similar but I also red that you have to request these benefits and that they are limited? Is this true? Can anybody help me?

Thank you

Benefits are:

-unlimited front of the line pass for Kraken, Manta and Atlantis (not sure about the shows)
-complementary Sky Tower access
-complementary rental of pedal boats /flamingoes)
-10% of the Dining Deal (not sure about merchandise)

On specific days you are allowed to enter the park 60 min prior opening time.

You´ll need to see the concierge at your Seaworld Partner Hotel and he can arrange that.
YES, it is limited!

Too late we have booked now the Hilton Garden Inn for the end of September. And as we are only staying there one night I hope we can get the fastpass and that it is still available.

I have been trying to find out from Doubletree how many quick queue passes they get a day but have had no luck (the people that answer the phone seem to have no clue). We are booked there in the spring for one day after we get off the Dream. I would really hate to miss out on those passes since we only have the one day before our flight home. We are going to WDW and Universal before the cruise, so thought Seaworld was a good option.

Hmmmm. I have read on Seaworld's website you can reserve the passes 24 hours in advance, but am not sure if you have to do that in person or if you can do it over the phone. Has anyone done this?

Thank you for your reply. We will also only be there one day in September. But as September should not be so busy we hope that it will not be a big deal if we don't get one of the passes. We will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn.

I spoke to someone at Doubletree today that said they get 700 quick queue passes divided between all partner hotels (so just over a hundred each) and you have to be there to get them or reserve them for the next day. You cannot do it on the phone.

The desk opens at 7:00 am so you need to be there early to get them. But, today they had not run out by 2:00 pm, so it depends.

Thank you again for this update.
I will not worry to much about this. And I will also not get up very early on our SeaWorld day only to get such a Fastpass.

But I will keep in mind that they are very limited. But as we will be there at the end of September I am hopping for low crowds anyway.

So if we are arriving the afternoon before, we can get them when we check in (for the next day) or do we just reserve one? Or do I have to be at the desk at 7am the next morning? So confusing. I wish they would clarify this.

The Hilton Garden Inn is a great little property. We've stayed there twice, both little mini three days trips to SeaWorld (three nights / two days -- SeaWorld is our favorite out of all the wonderful world class theme parks in Orlando). The hotel is super clean, has wonderful friendly staff, a cute little pool area with hot tub too, a nice little resturant for dinner with yummy offerings or order room service (great kid's meals for only $5). Ask if you care abou this (my son does) and get a room with a view of SeaWorld. I really love this place. We always get a condo at a timeshare place (usually rent from an owner) for a full week stay, but this place was really nice for a mini trip. I'd stay again in a heartbeat. You can even walk right over to SeaWorld.

What they told me on the phone is that you can get your quick queue passes for the next day if you are staying at the hotel. So if you arrive Friday afternoon, once you check in you can ask for quick queue passes for Saturday. I can see how these run out quickly if there are many hotels that share the meger allotment, but I think you have a good chance if you get your passes the day before.

I am not sure if they give you a coupon for a quick queue pass that you then need to get from Seaworld, or if you get the actual quick queue pass. Please post back and let us know how it works out for you!

We're staying at the Springhill Suites in mid-January. Unfortunately we only have one day at SW, so the quick queue pass will enable us to do much more in that one day. Thanks for the responses!
