several ?s about SW tickets

[Mary Diehl]

Thinking about doing Seaworld this vacation. After viewing the different options on the SW site, I'm wondering what the difference is between the "on line" single day ticket for $64.95 vs the "adults for kid price" ticket for $74.95. Both say that you can use that ticket for an additional day. Why pay that $10 extra for the same thing? Am I reading it wrong? Also, can you use that additional day within the same week/next day, etc. And, do you have to pay for parking twice, when you go back that second time? Thanks

The on-line special is for adults only, as the adult ticket is $ 64.95 rather than the $ 74.95 you would pay for it at the gate. The child tickets are same price whether you buy on-line or at the gate. The better deal is is you have a Southwest Airlines rapid reward card - 20% discount on tickets, at gate only - not available on-line, for both adults and kids tickets. Since you can not buy in advance, there is no guarantee that this discount will be available at the gate when you get there. It would be best to call a few days before you go to make sure it is still available. All single day tickets are good for a 2nd day free (I believe it has to be used within a week), but you have to get the tickets activated in the park before you leave the park on your first visit. I think you will have to pay the parking fee on the 2nd day. Someone in your group would need to buy a passport (season long pass) for $ 99.95. One of the perks of the passport is free parking, as well as discounts on food and merchandise.
