Benefits of Season Passes

My husband has been a Disneyland annual passholder since 1984 when he was just 8 years old. His family had the tradition of visiting the park every Friday afternoon for about an hour or two. He bought me one the week before we became engaged and our family has continued the tradition. It's a once a year investment that allows us instant entertainment anytime we decide to drive the 15 minutes to go over there. Since both of our children are under 3 years of age, they are both free. Even for the premium pass, which currently sells for $379, you get your money's worth after six visits. Plus there is a 10 to 15% discounts on food and merchandise and parking is included in that price. It's totally worth it. In addition, we also have season passes to the San Diego and Santa Ana Zoo, Sea World and the Discovery Science Center. Read through the blog archives for some of our experiences there. Regardless of where you live in the country, you can find season passes at local museums, amusement parks and zoo's. If you have never considered buying them, consider it. They often pay for themselves after just a few visits. Some places offer "buy one day, get a year free" deals that make it even more worth the value. The other great thing is that you don't have to feel rushed thinking you've got to see everything in one day. This is especially helpful when you have little ones that tire out by 3 PM. You can take your time and enjoy yourselves.
