Seaworld annual pass parking & Aquatica

[greenclan67]

OK, so I went online last week to buy an annual pass for Seaworld. Couldn't do it because when I get to the payment page, it asks for me to input my Driver's Licence, which would be fine if there was a place to put it. I called Sea world, and she walked through it with me, and said yes it's right there, and I said it's not on mine, problem was I clicked on International and it doesn't show up when you do that. SO the rep tells me just to go under United States, and do it there. I put in all my info, get to the end put in my CC and so on, rejected because the address doesn't match that of the CC. I call back again, says she will do it over the phone for me, great. Go through the whole thing on the phone, on hold numerous time, because I was trying to do the EZ pay she comes back and says she can't do that on the phone. FINE, I can do it when I get there, pay for parking, then bring them the receipt.
Then my hubby says, you know what its not worth it, forget it. We were really doing it, because I had bought my 2 kids tickets with rewards points, and if we bought a season pass, we would be going at least twice so the parking is covered, the 10% off merc, and food. So we had decided we weren't going to bother. Then this morning I thought of something,
We are doing DC on the 12th of March, and took Aquatica as the package, instead of paying for parking everyday at Aquatica, if we do buy the season pass, can we park at Sea World, and is there a shuttle to take to Aquatica cause that may make the difference if we do this or not. If that is possible, we are going to Sea World twice, and Aquatica probably at least twice, but if the weather is nice, I can see us doing a couple of part days, but the parking would add up.
SOrry for such a long post, any insight would be helpful!

Sea World runs a little shuttle between Discovery Cove and Aquatica. So you won't have any problems getting between the parks. Probably take you like 20mins top if you have to wait for a shuttle to pull up.

If you buy a pass on your first day, they'll give you "shamu" bucks. It's a little card valued at the price of parking. And you can use it on anything in the park. When I got my pass, parking was only 10$, so they gave us 2 cards valued at 5$ each.

What about if I park at SW and taking the shuttle to Aquatica. I thought if I did the annual pass at SW and I parked there I wouldn't have to pay for parking at Aquatica. If I can do that I will buy a season pass for SW!

You get free parking at the park you have the annual pass to. So if you only have a sea world pass, you only get free parking at sea world. (i'm not 100% on this, as my pass is for all four FL parks)

Am I getting this right that you're doing the Discovery Cove with 14 days free at Sea World/Aquatica??

If you have an annual pass, you'll also recieve a discount at Discovery Cove. My suggestion, is go Sea World before your DC day. Purchase your annual pass, then go to the Discovery Cove window and ask them if you can apply the annual pass discount to your tickets.

Nope my question is, we are thinking of buying a season pass to SW. We have tickets to go to Discovery Cove, and took Aquatica as our package with DC, because we used the rescue the reef promo we couldn't do Aquatica/SW package with DC.
So what I really want to know, is there a shuttle from SW to Aquatica? If I buy a SW pass it will include the parking, so if there is a shuttle to Aquatica I will park at SW and take the shuttle, instead of paying for parking at Aquatica! Hope that makes it more understandable!
Is there a shuttle from SW to Aquatica?

yes, there's a shuttle to Aquatica from Sea World. Probably take you about ten minutes or so to get over there. And all annual passes to Sea World include free parking.

Thank you, so in that case is it worth it to buy a season pass for SW and park there and take the shuttle to Aquatica? THat way I am not having to pay for parking at eithier park! Cause I am doing 2 days at SW but would like to do some half days at Aquatica and we are only there for 11 days! THat might be worth it!
THanks
