New "Summer Pass" at DLR

[glendalais]

Just in time for the many new offerings coming as part of the Summer Nightastic Special Event, the Disneyland Resort has announced a new special ticket offer for Southern California and Northern Baja California residents.

The Summer Pass will provide three days admission (one park per day) to the Theme Parks of the Disneyland Resort for only US$108.00. This works out to US$36.00 per day, a 50% discount off normal One-Day, One-Park admission (US$72.00)

For US$21.00 more, you can upgrade your ticket into a Summer Pass Plus ticket, allowing you to go between Disneyland Park and Disney's California Adventure Park at your leisure.

Tickets will go on sale from 30 May, and may be used from 11 June to 29 August. Tickets expire 45 days from first use or on 29 August, whichever comes first. Summer Pass tickets will be blocked out from 2-4 July and 22-23 August.

Tickets will be available from Disneyland.com, DLR Box Offices (Ticket Booths), Disney Store locations in the region and select stores and supermarkets throughout Southern California.

(ETA: Just saw another thread about this. Sorry about that . I swear I didn't see it beforehand, lol!)

As if there weren't enough people coming to the resort this summer. This summer with this promo and World of Color and Summer Nighttastic and all of the advertising that they've been doing....be prepared for crowds!

Just wondering how far north this deal is extended to? We are in the Bay Area and I always found it sad that the So Cal deals were never extended to us in Nor Cal.

I agree. I think it's strange that Baja gets these deals but we don't. I would think that California residents that stay a few days in hotels and eat in restaurants would spend more money than people driving in for the day.

I live in a town that gets a lot of tourists and I know we are always trying to get visitors to stay a night or 2 and eat in our restaurants, go shopping vs. visitors that come for day, just visit the Boardwalk or just bring a picnic to the beach and leave without spending a dime.

I know! When we go we stay 6 nights in a hotel! We don't set foot outside the parks to eat, we buy souvineers etc. It will be interesting to see what they do about the discount when the disney cruise comes to town permanently. For the ones out of FL they offer FL resident discounts on sailings that arent filling up, not southern FL or eastern FL, just FL. I'm anxious to see if they do they same for CA residents, or if they are going to stick to favoring So cal residents?

You'd be surprised to know that people from tijuana come across the border and spend a lot of money here in the U.S., they spend it here rather than in their own country, me living here in san diego and even closer to the border here in Chula Vista and working at a retail store have seen the amount of money they spend.

The next thing you know the whole world will find out about this Disneyland thing. Shhhh - don't tell anyone it's there.

I'm sorry. I should of explained myself better. I meant that I find it strange that people in the same state don't get discounts but people in another country do.
I see that Disney is reaching out to people that can drive to the park for a day vs. other California residents that would stay a few days and would spend more money in hotels, restaurants etc.
It would be nice if Disney did a "Golden State" package or something for the off season. I know we'd come down more often.

Local discounts aren't about bringing in the people who will spend the most per person. They're about getting people who wouldn't normally spend any money to spend some money. Instead of buying no tickets or maybe 1 day at a discount, they're thinking of buying three days at a discount. And a local's not likely to take a day off work to use that third day. They'll do one or two days right away then sit on that third day. Quite likely forget all about it. So instead of selling 1 day at half price, Disney sold 3 days at half price and only had to deliver 2. Cha-ching!

Someone bringing their family halfway across the country is more likely to say, "It costs what it costs." They'll probably also be getting a vacation package that has its own discounts.
