official hotel and quick queue

[angryduck71]

HI all -- I booked the Double Tree at SeaWorld, which is an "official" SeaWorld hotel, with my Hilton points. I did NOT book the SeaWorld package... I see it says official hotels offer quick queue, but I can't find an answer to whether or not you have to book the package to get quick queue or just if you're staying there you get it. Anyone know? Thanks!
PS -- I tried to call the hotel but there was no answer!

Well, I finally found on google after much searching and then the hotel finally picked up... yes, you get them even if you booked with points -- first come first serve.

"Guests can only reserve their complimentary Quick Queue onsite, at one of our Official Hotels, from the Expedia Local Expert Guest Service desk. Admission is required and the usual ride restrictions apply. Quick Queue is available in limited quantities each day and is given out on a first‐come, first‐serve basis. Guests can pick up Quick Queue for day‐of or next‐day visits only."

Hope this helps someone else!

Thanks for posting this. I wonder how often they run out day of or next day. It is very tempting to book a hotel for one night on our upcoming vacation for this benefit.

I am staying at the same hotel for a night. In my research on this forum (or another), they rarely run out.

Staying at one of the official SW hotels is worth it for the free Quick Queue

I had enough Hilton points to stay for three nights. .

I have been to the park 4 times in the last two years, both Summer and Christmas time. I have never heard of them running out of Quick Que or Bus Availability.

Stayed at SpringHill Suites just this weekend. I can confirm that the quick que benefit was included without booking via Sea World or a package.

And even though it is a one-time-per ride QQ - we never had anybody mark the ride as used so we could have ridden at least twice.

Does anyone know if quick Queue is only at Sea world or does Aquatica have it, too? And more importantly, do the hotels give QQ there, too??

We went last week, we so did not need it. I could see needed ot during spring break. We were walking into the Macon the only wait was for the front/rear rows

Aquatica does have a QQ program but it is not available every day. Right now the next time you can purchase QQ there is on March 23. It looks like they have it daily during the summer and only on weekends otherwise.

The hotels do NOT provide this QQ, according to the Aquatica website the benefit is "Complimentary Quick Queue at SeaWorld". There are other benefits shown for Aquatica such as transportation, priority entry, and some discounts.

You should listen to Floir, SeaWorld expert as it seems you probably could ask them anything seaworld.
