SeaWorld Orlando Sets a Military & Pass Member Picnic for Sunday, November 15, With $10 Tickets and Navy Federal as Presenter

The burgers are coming back to Ports of Call. SeaWorld Orlando has put a new date on its picnic page: Sunday, November 15, from 12 to 4pm, under a reordered headline that now leads with the military, the Military & Pass Member Picnic, and with a presenting sponsor, Navy Federal.

SeaWorld's sitemap dates the update to Wednesday afternoon, October 14, at 20:52 UTC, which is 4:52pm Eastern, and it was the only page in the SeaWorld Orlando sitemap with a change dated that day. The same page had been promoting the September 20 picnic, which we covered in September. Back then the headline read Pass Member & Military Member Picnic, which is still what the page's breadcrumb says.

The details

  • When: Sunday, November 15, 12 to 4pm, the Sunday after Veterans Day
  • Where: Ports of Call at SeaWorld Orlando
  • Price: $10 per ticket booked online (Pass Member portal or ID.me) until the day before the picnic, or $15 at Ports of Call on picnic day, subject to capacity
  • Who: Pass Members plus active-duty service members and veterans. The page says "Pass Members and Military Members only, along with their guests," with up to 6 guests per person, and a valid Pass or military ID is required for entry
  • Admission: you still need park admission and parking, neither of which the picnic ticket covers, and there is no re-entry

The fine print opens the picnic to Military Members and to holders of four active SeaWorld Orlando pass tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Florida Platinum), and caps each member at 7 tickets.

What is on the menu

Same spread as before: hamburgers, hot dogs, BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, macaroni salad, pit beans and assorted cupcakes and cookies, with water or lemonade to drink. The salad still depends on which paragraph you read. The intro and the menu module say house salad, while the price block still says chef salad, the same mismatch we spotted on the September page.

Tickets are marked Available Soon

Both ticket cards on the page, the Pass Member Picnic Ticket and the Service Member & Veteran Picnic Ticket, are marked "Available Soon," and neither card has a Buy Now button, which both carried in September. Active-duty service members and veterans buy through ID.me, according to the page: "Log in to ID.me to purchase your tickets." Pass Members buy through the Pass Member portal.

Budget for more than the $10, though: the picnic ticket covers the meal, while park admission and parking are separate and required. Are you making the trip for the November picnic?
