SeaWorld Orlando is selling its 2027 Fun Card now, and the current pitch is simple: buy for next year and get the rest of 2026 free. Official pricing on the park site shows SeaWorld-only cards from $139.99 and SeaWorld plus Aquatica cards from $179.99, both with blockout dates and a hard end date of December 31, 2027.
That is a same-week ticket decision for Orlando travelers who will visit more than once before New Year’s Eve 2027. Count your planned days, read the blockout lists, and choose between the cheaper one-park card and the two-park version before the strike-through savings narrow.

- Two parks: From $179.99 for SeaWorld plus Aquatica Orlando.
- Valid through: December 31, 2027, with listed blockout dates.
- Not included: Parking, Howl-O-Scream, and most special events.
What SeaWorld is selling on the Fun Card page
The official SeaWorld Orlando Fun Card page markets unlimited visits for 2027 plus the rest of 2026 free. Cards expire on December 31, 2027, and the same pitch appears on the park’s limited-time offers board.
Current displayed prices are $139.99 for SeaWorld only, marked down from $147.99, and $179.99 for SeaWorld plus Aquatica, marked down from $242.99. Taxes and service fees still sit outside those headline numbers.
The card is nontransferable, nonrefundable, and void if altered. It does not include parking, food or merchandise discounts, or admission to select special events, including Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld Orlando.
Convenient automatic renewal is listed as a product feature. Read the checkout terms before you assume the card is a one-time calendar product with no later charge.
Blockout dates that can erase the free rest of 2026
The free remainder of 2026 is not every calendar day. SeaWorld’s published 2026 blockouts for the Fun Card are August 29, October 17, October 24, December 22, December 24, December 25, and December 26.
Those blackout days matter for Labor Day weekend planning and for late-December Christmas Celebration visits. If your only remaining 2026 trips fall on blocked dates, the “rest of 2026 free” line does not help you this year.
2027 SeaWorld blockouts on the same pages include March 13, 20, and 27; April 3; June 28 and 29; July 3, 4, 10, 17, 24, and 31; August 28; October 16 and 23; and December 21, 23, 24, and 25. Aquatica’s 2027 blockout list is longer through peak summer weekends.
Write the blocked days next to your hotel holds before you buy. A Fun Card that looks cheap per day becomes expensive if half your dates are blocked and you still need single-day tickets.
Fun Card versus annual pass: the real Orlando decision
A Fun Card is not a full annual pass. Silver, Gold, and Platinum passes on the same ticket family advertise free parking, guest tickets, and in-park discounts that the Fun Card page does not grant.
Choose the Fun Card when you want many ordinary park days and can pay for parking and extras separately. Choose a pass when free parking, guest tickets, or dining discounts will pay for the upgrade inside the same visit pattern.
Local repeat visitors often win on either product if they visit six or more ordinary days before expiry. One-time weekenders usually still do better with a dated multi-day ticket unless they already know they will return in 2027.
Deep Arrival’s SeaWorld Orlando tickets guide and the broader SeaWorld Orlando planning hub help compare single-day math against multi-day and pass products once you know your dates.
How the two-park card changes the itinerary
At $179.99, the SeaWorld plus Aquatica card is the better buy only if you will use both parks enough times to beat two separate ticket stacks. Aquatica is a water park day, so weather and seasonal hours matter as much as the sticker price.
Pair the two-park option with Deep Arrival’s Aquatica Orlando guide when you need slide intensity, toddler fit, and locker planning rather than another sales banner. A Fun Card does not replace a bad weather plan on a pure water-park day.
If you already hold a Busch Gardens Tampa 2027 Fun Card, do not assume the Orlando product stacks the same benefits. Deep Arrival covered the separate Busch Gardens Tampa 2027 Fun Card pricing; that post is chronology for the brand family, not a substitute for SeaWorld Orlando terms.
For same-day operating hours after you buy, use the live SeaWorld Orlando park hours page rather than guessing from last year’s calendar.
Who should buy now versus wait
Buy now if you already have three or more remaining 2026 visits that clear the 2026 blockouts and you also expect multiple 2027 visits. The free remainder of 2026 only pays when those days are real.
Wait if your 2026 calendar is empty, your only open days are blocked, or you still need parking and guest-ticket perks that a pass supplies. Waiting risks a higher Fun Card price, but it avoids locking money into a product you will not use.
Local Florida residents should still check whether a dated resident ticket or a pass sale beats the Fun Card for a single busy holiday weekend. Out-of-state visitors should price the Fun Card against a hotel package that already bundles park tickets.
Independent local coverage from GottaGoOrlando has framed the $139.99 starting price as less than $35 above a single-day ticket for guests who will visit repeatedly. Use that framing only if your day count supports it.
| If you… | What to do |
|---|---|
| Will visit SeaWorld 4+ unblocked days by Dec 31, 2027 | Price the $139.99 Fun Card against single-day stacks and buy if cheaper. |
| Need Aquatica days too | Compare the $179.99 two-park card with separate water-park tickets. |
| Need free parking or guest tickets | Skip the Fun Card and price Silver or Gold annual pass sales instead. |
| Only have blocked 2026 dates left | Do not count rest-of-2026 free; judge 2027 days alone. |
| Plan Howl-O-Scream or other special events | Budget separate event tickets; the Fun Card excludes them. |
- Buy path: Purchase only after matching your calendar to the published 2026 and 2027 blockouts.
- Price check: Confirm $139.99 or $179.99 plus tax and fees at checkout before assuming the banner price.
- Pass fork: Switch to an annual pass if parking and guest tickets matter more than bare entry days.
- Event gap: Budget Howl-O-Scream and other special events separately from the Fun Card.
- Renewal: Read auto-renew language at purchase so a 2027 product does not surprise you later.
Match the card to named visit days, not to a vague hope that Orlando weekends will fill themselves. The offer is strong for multi-visit guests and weak for one-and-done travelers who still need parking and event tickets.

Does the 2027 Fun Card really include the rest of 2026 free?
Yes for unblocked days. SeaWorld lists specific 2026 blockout dates, so blocked calendar days still need other tickets.

No. Official terms exclude parking and select special events, including Howl-O-Scream, and the card is nontransferable and nonrefundable.
When does the 2027 Fun Card expire?
Published terms say the Fun Card expires on December 31, 2027, with blockout dates applying before that end date.
What three checks should buyers run before purchase?
