Annual Pass General Information

How do I purchase an Annual Pass?

The best way to purchase an Annual Pass is by visiting us at the websites below. You can visit the parks’ ticket windows on any regular operating day to purchase or can call 1-813-884-4FUN to enroll by phone. 

What do I need to do before my first visit?

After you purchase your Annual Pass, you will receive an email containing a PDF version of your actual Annual Pass. This is your Annual Pass, which you can either print out or download on your mobile device to scan at the front gate for entrance. You may also show this at culinary and merchandise locations in-park to receive your discount.

 

For future visits, we recommend accessing your barcodes from your mobile device. Login to the Pass Member website, click the "Account" tab and scroll down to view your barcodes. These barcodes can be used to enter the park and receive in-park discounts. Apple device users may also add them to their Apple Wallet.

 

If you wish to receive a wallet-size version of your Annual Pass, please scan your PDF at the Self-Service Ticketing kiosks to print one. Please note that printing a wallet-size Annual Pass produces a new barcode and deactivates your previous barcode, including any saved in your mobile device which will need to be updated manually.

 

Busch Gardens Pass Members:  If you would like to print a commemorative hard stock 60th Anniversary version of your Annual Pass, please visit Guest Services inside the park at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. The limited edition Pass can be purchased for $5.

 

SeaWorld Orlando Pass Members:  If you would like to print a commemorative hard stock Guy Harvey version of your Annual Pass, please visit Ticket Windows or the Pass Member Lounge, at SeaWorld Orlando. The limited edition Pass can be purchased for $5. SeaWorld will donate 100% of the net proceeds, before taxes, to the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation.

I currently have a Platinum Annual Pass from a non-Florida park. Do I receive the benefits of the Florida Parks Platinum Annual Pass?

No. Many benefits of the Florida Parks Platinum Pass are a home state park benefit. Please check with your home state for your special benefits. All Platinum Passes receive admission to our select 11 parks excluding Discovery Cove.

I lost my Annual Pass. Where can I have it reprinted and is there a fee?

You can reprint the PDF version of your Annual Pass by accessing your order history.  Another option is to print a wallet-size version of your Annual Pass by scanning your PDF at the Self-Service Ticketing kiosks. Each Pass Member can reprint their Annual Pass twice before a $5 reprint fee would apply. Please note that reprinting your Pass produces a new barcode and deactivates your previous barcode, including any saved in your mobile device which will need to be updated manually.

Upgrading to an Annual Pass

Where can I upgrade my Fun Card or Pass to a different Annual Pass?

You can visit any guest ticket window or Guest Services to upgrade to an Annual Pass.

I have a Fun Card and would like to purchase an Annual Pass. Do I have to buy an Annual Pass at full price? Can the Fun Card price be applied to the Annual Pass?

You will simply pay the difference between the prorated Fun Card and the Annual Pass of choice.  We will prorate the difference based on the time remaining on your Fun Card.

Why should I upgrade to a Florida Gold Annual Pass?

Get the most value when you upgrade to a Florida Gold Pass. If you want 15% off food and beverage, 20% off merchandise, four free guest tickets and a 1 Free 1 – Day PhotoKey, the Florida Parks Gold Annual Pass is your best bet.

Annual Pass Payment Options

What is EZpay?

EZpay is an interest-free monthly payment program designed to make an Annual Pass fit easily into your budget. There is a 12-month initial commitment, and then your Pass will automatically renew on a month to month basis (at a rate which may be adjusted based upon the then current retail price of the plan you initially selected), subject to your right to cancel at any time following the 12-month initial commitment period.

Do I have to get on the EZpay monthly payment plan?

You are not required to purchase your Annual Pass on EZpay, however EZpay is an interest-free monthly payment program designed to make an Annual Pass fit easily into your budget for as long as your Annual Pass is active. There is a 12-month initial commitment, and then your Pass will automatically renew on a month to month basis (at a rate which may be adjusted based upon the then current retail price of the plan you initially selected), subject to your right to cancel at any time following the 12-month initial commitment period.

Once I purchase a new Annual Pass will the monthly rate stay the same, or will it go up at some point?

Your monthly rate will not increase during the initial 12-month commitment.  After that, each month you will be charged 1/12 of the then-current retail price for the Annual Pass (plus tax) of the plan you initially selected and no down payment will be required. 

The old Annual Pass Program had a price lock guarantee, what about the new Annual Pass program?

Price Lock Guarantee is no longer available for the new Annual Pass program. Your rate will not change within the first 12-months of your commitment.  After the initial 12-month commitment, each month you will be charged 1/12 of the then-current retail price for the Annual Pass (plus tax).  If the Annual Pass rate increases, you will receive notice of that increase before your credit or debit card is charged. 

Full Pay Auto Renew (FPAR)

Why did my Pass automatically renew?

For your convenience, your Pass was set up for automatic renewal at the time of your purchase. Based on the payment agreement, it would renew automatically at your one-year anniversary unless you canceled beforehand.

What amount will be charged to my card when it automatically renews?

When you purchased your Pass, both the "Total Price" you paid initially (including any sales or discounts) and the "Recurring Annual Payment After Initial Term" to be charged on your anniversary would have appeared on the agreement.

*Subject to change. 

Will my Pass price go up each year it renews?

After your initial 12-month commitment, you will be charged the Recurring Annual Price that was listed in your payment agreement when you purchased. For any additional price increases, you will receive notice before your credit or debit card is charged.

*Subject to change. 

Do I still receive the same benefits when my Pass automatically renews?

When you are in your initial term, you will keep your existing benefits and rewards through the end of the term. Upon renewal, your Annual Pass would grant you the current benefits and rewards based on your tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum) and parks.

If I have an FPAR (Full Paid Auto Renew) Annual Pass, will I see new Free Guest Tickets on my anniversary date?

Yes, as a FPAR Pass Member, you will see your guest tickets replenished on your anniversary date. These tickets will follow the current ticket usage calendar. Review your account for current rewards.

How do I manage my account?
