The picnic is included with the ticket; you don't buy a la carte at the venue.

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.

Disney's Wilderness Lodge Battles a Days-Long AC Outage During a Central Florida Heat Wave

A stay at one of Walt Disney World's flagship Deluxe resorts is not supposed to come with a box fan, but that has been the reality for some guests at Disney's Wilderness Lodge this week. The main building's central air conditioning has been down since Thursday, June 18, just as Central Florida sweltered under back-to-back heat advisories with feels-like temperatures topping 105 degrees. By Monday, June 22, Disney had trucked in temporary chillers and portable spot coolers and many guest rooms had cooled back down, though the Grand Lobby and some interior spaces stayed warm, and the central system was not yet fully restored. Disney has not commented publicly.
