Disneyland Resort Deals

Southern California City Pass
Good deal. Pay $259 ($219 for kids) and receive passes to 5 theme parks: Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure (3-Day Park Hopper) and one day each at Universal Studios Hollywood, SeaWorld San Diego, and the San Diego Zoo. Must be used within 14 days after first admission. Purchase online or at one of the parks. Disney even throws in admission to both of its parks on the same day and one early entry pass. First (I think) discount program to include Disneyland.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and Magic Mountain Season Pass Deals
The Six Flags parks are offering great deals on 2010 season passes. If that's not enough of an incentive, the park is throwing in some gimmes, including passes for friends and a a coupon book.

Universal Studios Hollywood Deals

San Diego 3-for-1 Pass
Unlimited admission to the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park, and SeaWorld San Diego for 5 consecutive days. Cost is less than the combined price of general admissions.

SeaWorld San Diego Adults at Kids Price plus 2nd Visit Free
Pay the rate for a one-day general admission ticket and receive a pass good for a second visit through the end of 2009. Other discounts and programs avialable.
