City Pass ~ Southern California ~ Updated!!

Are you planning a 'StayCation' this year? Do you have out of town guests coming to see the sites of Southern California with you?

You might want to check out the City Pass - the SoCal City Pass is really awesome and it saves quite a bit of money if you were planning on doing all of these attractions anyway.

$269 for adults
$229 for kids

Kinda pricey at first glance but it includes a 3 day park hopper to Disneyland, a Universal Studios Ticket, Sea World ticket, and a ticket to our very own San Diego Zoo.

You have 14 days to use the tickets before they expire - it is a 30% discount off the prices at the gate - nice!

Update!! this is awesome!! Apparently this could be made even better! Reader & friend Suzanne says she upgraded her 3 day hopper (that was part of her So Cal City Pass) to an annual passport for Disneyland for FREE - what?! So basically - if you get the City Pass you get all the admission tickets AND can continue going back to Disney for free for the rest of the year (there will be black out days - but still - it doesn't cost any extra!)  Suzanne confirmed that she did this at Disneyland - has anyone had any experience with upgrading the other passes?? I know that a Zoo membership is not much more than a daily admission ticket - same with Sea World - I wonder.....I believe I may have stumbled upon my new favorite deal!!  Thanks Suzanne!

We used City Pass when we went to San Francisco a few years back - we LOVED it!

A few great Disney & Universal Deals that are about to expire - act now!

UPDATE - this is already full! Bummer!Give a Day, Get a Day offers at Disneyland will expire once they hit 1 million - they are approaching that number quickly! This is a great way to help the community and get something really awesome as a 'Thank You' from Disney - we are doing our service project this Sunday in Bonsall!  Kids 6 and over can participate!

Disneyland's 2fer also expires in April! Also another great deal for SoCal residents.  Tip - 2fer time is also usually the slowest season, there will be a few rides closed - but the lines are generally short or non-existant for the vast majority that are open!

Universal Studio's awesome FREE teacher ticket + 1/2 off tickets for their friends and family (up to 4) also exprires on MARCH 31st - great deal - worth the drive for sure!
