Is dining deal still going on or did I miss it? I didn't see it in the ticket purchasing part of the website. Does it haves special promo code? Thanks!

From what I know yes. The code is playanddine. With the ticket increase I would assume its gone up. I haven't checked on the website but from what has been said it would cost $92.

If you go to the Sea World (SW) website and enter the promo code "playanddine", the 1-day adult ticket with all-day food is $98, after tax. Still have to pay for parking, $15/day/car. (Aquatica is $12/day/car.)

The "Fun Card" is the same price online ($98 incl tax) but instead of food, it allows unlimited admission to SW through 2013.

I don't see an After-3PM option for SW. With their new Penquin attraction, they may not be offering it.

A single day, advance purchase, regular ticket online to SW through their website is ~$87 after tax.

The 1-Day ticket to SW is just ~$80 incl tax, through UndercoverTourist (very reputable), with free shipping if you allow at least 21 days advance time for ground shipping.

An annual pass (AP) to SW (365 days, not just 2013), purchased online at SW, is $159 incl tax. This includes free parking, $10 off friends/family regular 1-day tickets at the gate (up to 6 per visit, accompanied by AP holder) and 10% off food/merchandise in the park. For a limited time, AP holders may get $20 off friend tickets online.

Combined, Annual Pass to both SW Orlando and Aquatica (365 days), purchased online, is $191 incl tax, provides free parking at both parks, $10 off friends/family 1-day tix at both parks, and 10% off food/stuff at both parks.

We (DH & I) plan to be in the area toward the end of this year with 4 more adults, in 2 cars. We're considering getting the APs for ourselves (free parking for each car) and either the discounted 1-day tix or the play-and-dine tix for the rest of the group to visit SW. Then we'll use the discounts on this trip and we two can return to either SW or both parks when we're back in Orlando on our own during a warmer time of year.

Aquatica does have an After-2PM option online which does not include SW, for unlimited visits through the end of 2013. It's $59 incl tax, plus you pay the daily parking $12/car.

A 14-day, unlimited pass to both SW and Aquatica, purchased in advance, is $127 incl tax through the SW/Aq website and just $116 incl tax through UndercoverTourist. This pass also includes 1 hour early entry on Mondays and Thursdays at Sea World through Sept 2, 2013. Daily parking is extra (SW $15/Aq $12 - visit both in same day with one parking fee). IMHO, for a warm weather visit, the $116, 14-day unlimited passes to both SW & Aquatica (14-day) are hard to beat. HTH!

If you are a Southwest Airlines reward member (free to join, no need to actually travel on the airline) you get 20% off gate tickets at Seaworld. This works out to less than $80 each. It's a great option if you're not sure if you'll even make it to SW during the trip - you can wait and buy at the gate and show your Southwest card. From what I have read you don't even need to show the actual card - the printout of the card/confirmation you get after signing up is good enough. I have not used this myself, as last time we went to Seaworld there was a better promotion, but I may try it this August.

Here is where it is discussed on Mousesavers: http://www.mousesavers.com/discount...aworld-orlando-discounts-and-deals/#southwest

I just noticed on the Sea World website, when you enter the promo code, playanddine, there's a 14-day option for visiting both Sea World and Aquatica as many times as you like within the 14 days and it includes one day of dining at Sea World and one day of dining at Aquatica within the 14 days. It costs $129+tax, ~$137 after tax. Valid until Dec 31, 2013.

SW normally charges $33 for dining and Aq charges $17 ($10 when added to advance purchase ticket). Parking, of course, is extra (SW $15/day, Aq $12/day, may move between them without paying a second parking fee the same day). This seems like a pretty good deal to me, if you're planning those visits anyway. It's only $21 more than the discounted UT 14-day passes, but includes all day dining, one day at each park. A full lunch would cost at least that, so getting 2-3 meals and snacks/drinks at the parks on those days would really get your money's worth.
