Frequent Disneyland Travel and savings?

How many times have any of you visited Disneyland in California? Do you frequently bring along your family or relatives with you? Probably if you visit the theme park once a year only, the entrance fee of approximately $50 per person could probably be either too much or just enough depending on your financial status.

But what if you visit the place at least twice a year? What if your children want to visit the place often? Are you willing to pay double or more? What if other relatives come to visit you and ask you to bring them to Disneyland especially if they are your nieces or nephews or someone who has come to the US for the first time and probably don't have the financial means as you do?

If you have been to Disneyland last April and May and you found out your relatives are coming on December, you would have to pay again for yourself, wouldn't you? And yet, if you want to go to all the rides and shows, going to the place for a day is not even enough - you'll have to pay again to enter on your next visit?

Here are the facts:

1. It used to be, Disneyland is only one theme park. Yet you can't finish all the rides and shows in one day only.

2. Disneyland has a sister theme park called California Adventure. To visit California Adventure is also another day of activity and fun.

3. An entrance ticket of approximately $50 is just good for an entrance of a individual to only one of the theme parks.

4. Once you have entered Disneyland using your single entrance ticket, you can't go to California Adventure anymore.

Question: Is there a cost saving means of visiting both parks anytime I want?
To those of you who wish to enjoy the place as much as you can, the answer is a big YES. The solution is to take advantage of the promotional offers of Disneyland.

Disneyland usually has two kinds of promotional offers. For residents of California, they have what is called the two-fers. This promo is for a ticket you buy at a particular rate and you are able to visit either one of the two theme parks on the first day of your visit. Then you may visit the other theme park which you have not yet visited on any other day you wish to come again. In this way, you are able to save some money. This promotional offer however is not offered all year round. Therefore, this is only available for California residents and only if the promo is being offered.

Another offer is the year-round pass. If you visit Disneyland more than twice a year, you are indeed able to get a lot of savings because for a particular rate, you can visit any of the two theme parks as often as you can except on their so-called block-out dates. Plus, you can even transfer from one park to another during your visit to the place!

Most of my friends are surprised why we can go to Disneyland as often as we can.
Well, I have chosen to buy the year-round pass and that gives me a lot of savings!

Oh, for those of you who are simply visiting Southern California or the Greater Los Angeles, your vacation visit to Disneyland is not enough for a day.

Finding Travel Deals

If your vacation time is coming up and you are planning on making a trip, then you will need to make some plans. Perhaps you are going to visit family? Or, maybe you plan to take your family to see an attraction somewhere? Maybe you are going to visit another country? Regardless of where you plan to go, you can find great deals on getting there, staying there, and even enjoying your time at the location.


Often times we want to take our children to see the things we saw when we were younger. It would be nice to see some new destinations as well. Either way, we want to do a lot but don't always have the funds. So, we are always in search for a deal. There are many out there to be had. Here are some quick ideas.

Saving on airfare is all about shopping around. Compare the different offers each company has. Can you fly in mid week and avoid weekend charges and busy times? Flying at night or at odd times can also increase your changes of getting a deal.

Once you get to your destination, you'll need a place to stay and a car to drive. The best way to get deals on these is to plan ahead. Making reservations ahead of time can be the best way to lower your cost. Cutting out extra charges on things you don't need, or won't use, also helps. No need for that car to come with a DVD player if you only plan to drive short distances. Along the same lines, you probably won't have time to watch all those movies on cable either. Eliminating these extras can lead to extra cash in your pocket.


Saving money on travel doesn't need to stop there. You can save money on travel in just about every aspect by planning and research. Take the time to compare different companies, then choose the best option for you. Also, take a box of cereal and pick up a gallon of milk instead of spending a ton on breakfast. Grab a local newspaper to see if there are deals in there for area restaurants. The local family diner may have some great food at reasonable prices but is overlooked because of all those glaring signs in tourist's face.

Being able to find a deal on travel is a great advantage. Saving some extra cash can truly make your vacation more worthwhile. Since so many people just don't get enough vacation time, getting the most out of what they do get is key. So, take some time and find the best travel deals out there for yourself!
