September is Pass Member Appreciation Month at SeaWorld Orlando, and the park is loading up the month with free perks, discounts and special events for Annual Pass Members.

Among the September 2026 rewards are a free bonus guest ticket, $10 in SeaWorld Bucks, a free animal feeding tray, a free popcorn or drink refill, special Howl-O-Scream Orlando offers and several additional perks for Platinum Pass Members.

There’s also an exclusive Pass Member Picnic coming later in the month.

Here’s everything currently announced for September 2026.

$31 Howl-O-Scream Ticket Offer Extended Through September 6

Pass Members have a few extra days to take advantage of SeaWorld Orlando’s special $31 Howl-O-Scream Any Night Ticket.

Originally offered in August, the deal has now been extended through September 6.

Unlike the regular Pass Member Howl-O-Scream discount, this $31 offer must be purchased in person at the Pass Member Lounge.

Howl-O-Scream Orlando runs select nights from September 11 through October 31, 2026, and requires a separately purchased event ticket.

$10 SeaWorld Bucks Extended Through September 7

Another August reward is sticking around for Labor Day weekend.

Pass Members can receive $10 in SeaWorld Bucks through September 7.

Redeem the reward at one of SeaWorld Orlando’s self-service kiosks during your visit. The Bucks can then be used toward eligible food, animal experiences and select merchandise or other in-park purchases.

The voucher is valid only on the day it is redeemed at the kiosk, so don’t print it until you’re ready to use it.

FREE Bonus Guest Ticket — September 1–30

One of the best rewards of Pass Member Appreciation Month is a free bonus guest ticket.

Each eligible Pass Member can bring one guest to SeaWorld Orlando for free on any operating day from September 1 through September 30.

The ticket can be redeemed through the Pass Member Portal or at a self-service kiosk.

The Pass Member must be present for the guest to enter the park, and the offer is limited to one bonus guest ticket per active Pass Member.

Pass Member Picnic — September 20

SeaWorld Orlando will also hold a special Pass Member Picnic on Sunday, September 20 from noon until 4 p.m. at Ports of Call.

The menu includes:

• Hamburgers
• Hot dogs
• BBQ pulled pork sandwiches
• Chef salad
• Macaroni salad
• Pit beans
• Assorted cupcakes and cookies

Tickets are $10 per person when purchased in advance through the Pass Member Portal and $15 on the day of the event, subject to availability. Members can purchase up to seven tickets.

Park admission and parking are not included.

FREE Feeding Tray — September 1–30

Pass Members can receive one free animal feeding tray during September.

The reward can be used at participating feeding locations, including opportunities to feed animals such as sea lions, stingrays or sharks, depending on availability.

Print the voucher at an in-park self-service kiosk and bring it along with your active Annual Pass to the feeding location.

Feeding availability can change based on animal care and other operational needs.

FREE Popcorn or Drink Refill — September 7–13

From September 7 through September 13, Pass Members receive a coupon for one free popcorn or drink refill.

The reward can be redeemed through the Pass Member Portal or at an in-park self-service kiosk.

One important distinction: this reward is for the refill only. It does not include a free reusable cup or popcorn bucket.

So bring an eligible refillable container with you.

Exclusive Howl-O-Scream Ticket Pricing — September 1–30

In addition to the $31 in-park offer available through September 6, Pass Members can access exclusive Howl-O-Scream ticket pricing throughout September.

Tickets can be purchased at an in-park self-service kiosk or through the SeaWorld Orlando Pass Member Portal.

Because the $31 promotion is specifically an in-park offer ending September 6, don’t assume that same price will remain available for the entire month.

Platinum Pass Members Get a FREE Howl-O-Scream Monster Hand Phone Holder

Here’s one for the spooky-season collection.

Platinum Pass Members can receive a free Howl-O-Scream Monster Hand Phone Holder during Howl-O-Scream event nights from September 11–13.

The gift will be available at Expedition Odyssey Gifts while supplies last.

A separately purchased Howl-O-Scream ticket is required to enter the event and obtain the gift.

Pass Member-Exclusive Spooktacular Trick-or-Treat Bag

SeaWorld Orlando is also releasing an exclusive trick-or-treat bag for Pass Members to use during SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular.

The bag costs $3.99 plus any applicable Pass Member discount and will be available while supplies last.

SeaWorld says the bag can be purchased at:

• The SeaWorld Store
• Stroller Rental
• Trek Gifts
• Coconut Bay Traders
• Currents at Waterfront

SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular runs select dates through November 1, 2026.

Exclusive $20 SeaWorld Animal Face Painting

Pass Members and Preschool Card holders can choose from six special SeaWorld animal face-painting designs throughout September.

Designs include:

• Dolphin
• Shark
• Turtle
• Penguin
• Orca
• Stingray

Each design costs $20 and is available at the Mako face-painting location from September 1–30.

SeaWorld says each painting takes approximately three to five minutes, and complimentary touch-ups are available throughout the day.

Platinum: $10 Off a $50 Merchandise Purchase

Platinum Pass Members receive an additional $10 off one merchandise purchase of $50 or more during September.

Print the voucher from an in-park self-service kiosk before making your purchase.

The offer is good for one use and has exclusions, including specialty merchandise and certain other products and services. It also cannot be combined with SeaWorld Bucks.

Platinum: Double Food and Beverage Discount

Platinum Pass Members also receive their monthly double discount on one qualifying food or beverage purchase.

That means a 20% discount on the eligible transaction.

Print the voucher at a self-service kiosk and use it at a participating location on the same day.

The offer does not apply to products including All-Day Dining, Drink All Day, specialty dining experiences, alcohol, festival samples or sampling lanyards. It also cannot be combined with SeaWorld Bucks.

September Pass Member Pin and Quarterly Mug

Collectors have a couple of new items arriving in September.

The September 2026 Pass Member Pin features a manatee, while the latest quarterly Pass Member Mug features a sea turtle.

Both are available for purchase at participating retail locations while supplies last.

Save on a Walrus Encounter

Pass Members can also save up to 20% on SeaWorld Orlando’s Walrus Encounter.

The experience gives guests an opportunity to get an up-close look at one of SeaWorld’s walruses at Sea Lion and Otter Stadium.

Discounted reservations can be booked through the Pass Member Portal.

What Should You Make Sure to Redeem?

September has quite a few rewards, but there are several dates worth putting on the calendar.

By September 6: Purchase the $31 Howl-O-Scream ticket if you want to take advantage of that special in-park price.

By September 7: Redeem your $10 SeaWorld Bucks.

September 7–13: Grab your free popcorn or beverage refill.

September 11–13: Platinum Members attending Howl-O-Scream can pick up the Monster Hand Phone Holder while supplies last.

September 20: Pass Member Picnic at Ports of Call.

By September 30: Use your free guest ticket and free feeding tray along with any other monthly rewards you want to redeem.

That free guest ticket alone makes September a strong month for Pass Members, but add in the SeaWorld Bucks, free feeding, Howl-O-Scream discounts and Pass Member Appreciation Month activities, and there are plenty of reasons to make a few visits.

As always, rewards, eligibility and redemption procedures can change, so keep checking the SeaWorld Orlando Pass Member Portal throughout the month. SeaWorld also has a habit of adding bonus and last-minute Pass Member rewards after the month begins, so there may be even more perks added during September.

So until the next blog, podcast or livestream, keep making memories.
