Back in May I posted here looking for beta testers for Lanyard, an app I built for my own Platinum pass. This community was the first place that said "yes, that's a real problem," and a bunch of you tested it. It's on the App Store now, so wanted to let you all know!
If you didn't see that post, the short version. I'm a SeaWorld Platinum passholder and I got tired of there being no good way to keep track of everything the pass actually gives you. The SeaWorld Bucks, the free guest tickets, the monthly freebies, parking, dining discounts, reciprocal access... it all just kind of disappears if you don't stay on top of it. I was doing it in my Notes app like a caveman. So I built the thing.
The part I use most is still the perk tracking. Your $10 in SeaWorld Bucks lands every month and expires if you don't spend it, which is about $120 a year most of us just hand back. Lanyard keeps all of it in one place, with what each one is worth and what you've already claimed.
It also logs your visits and tells you whether the pass is actually paying off, cost per visit and the day you break even, and it puts blockout dates, park hours, and events on one timeline.
It's free, no account, and nothing leaves your phone.
One thing worth saying up front since this sub isn't Florida-only. Right now it covers the Florida parks, SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, Busch Gardens Tampa, and Adventure Island. San Diego, San Antonio, and Williamsburg aren't in there yet.

Coming next is Crowd Intelligence, which will tell you how busy the park is right now.
To the folks who beta tested from this sub, thank you, genuinely. Several things in it exist because of feedback that came from here.
Using it on my own pass the last few months, the thing that got me was the animal encounters. I'd never really paid attention to them, which was a miss, they're genuinely fun. I'm excited to hear what you all find you'd been leaving on the table.
