How it fits with the rest of the SeaWorld summer

The Pass Member Picnic is the opening-weekend bonus for Pass Members at the new ride lineup. The pipeline:

• Now operating: Expedition Odyssey: Fire & Ice (we covered the grand opening Monday and the day-2 reviews Wednesday).
• This weekend: Pass Member Picnic Saturday and Sunday at Sea Harbor Pavilions.
• Friday June 5 to Saturday August 8: Discovery Cove's Paradise Nights returns for the first time since 2018 (we covered the pre-launch yesterday). Discovery Cove's official page lists "Select Nights" only; check the booking calendar for specific dates.
• Friday June 12 to Monday September 7: Electric Ocean returns at SeaWorld Orlando with Hydro Surge cirque at Nautilus Theater, Club SeaGlow DJ party at Bayside Stadium, three nighttime animal presentations, the drone-into-Ignite handoff, and the Ignite fireworks finale.

How to buy tickets

Tickets are available via two channels until the day before:

• SeaWorld Pass Member portal at $10 per ticket. Sign in with your Pass Member account.
• ID.me verification for active-duty and veteran military members at $10 per ticket.

Day-of tickets at the venue are $15 each and subject to capacity. If the picnic sells out the online tier, the day-of tier may not have availability.

Quick planner notes

• Buy online before Friday end-of-day. The $5-per-ticket online discount goes away at the venue door, and capacity is enforced.
• Park admission and parking are separate. You need to enter SeaWorld Orlando through the main gate before walking to Sea Harbor Pavilions. Plan parking and admission timing accordingly.
• Stack with Fire & Ice. The new ride is now operating during regular park hours and pairs naturally with a midday picnic visit.
• Ticket cap is 6 or 7 depending on which line of SeaWorld's page you read. If you're bringing a larger group, buy tickets in two or three transactions to stay within whichever cap applies.
• Memorial Day weekend wraps Sunday. Either day works; Saturday tends to draw more local Pass Members, Sunday closes out the holiday weekend.
