Southern California resident deal!

[Nik's Mom]

Hello,
I just saw a deal on MouseSavers.com for Southern California residents. It states that adult ticket for California Adventure are only $35 and you get a free childs ticket for every adult ticket. This is supposed to be effective from now until September 3. Has anyone heard of this deal? I don't see it on Disneyland's website. I know that they had the same deal last year, but they hyped it like crazy and I haven't seen any advertisements this time.

Last I heard that was the deal that expired 6/19. As of 6/20 and through the summer there are supposedly no "deals."

Yes, I heard about that one, but the one on Mousesavers.com is something new that was supposed to have started today. Has anyone else heard anything? Mousesavers.com just posted it on their website today.

Now I must eat my words......just saw a commercial on TV......it is for DCA only

Adults for kids price, one kid free per paid adult.....for So. Calif. residents only.

'course my question......I'm a premium AP holder, can a kid get in free with me???

Thanks Ivanova! I'll keep my eyes open for that commercial. I'm interested if anyone has an answer for your question, since I am considering purchase an AP.
Thanks again!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- Just a month after saying it had no plans for new summer deals, The Walt Disney Co.'s California Adventure theme park said on Tuesday it will offer a promotion throughout the summer months. The promotion by the year-old park comes as one of its major competitors, Universal Studios Hollywood, also offers a major summer promotion, reflecting continued weakness for theme parks from out-of-town travelers, analysts said. Under its new promotion, California Adventure is offering adult admissions at the children's price of $35 through Sept. 3 for Southern California residents, said spokesman John McClintock. Children ages 3 to 9 accompanied by a paying adult get in free. California Adventure offered a similar promotion last summer, after the park got off to a disappointing start in its first few months of business. The California Adventure promotion puts Disney head to head with rival operator Universal Recreation Group, whose Universal Studios Hollywood is offering free admission for a child 15 or under for every paid adult. That promotion is good for California residents, and runs through July 31. The repeated use of promotions during the normally busy summer season shows that, despite recent reports of improved attendance, theme parks would like to see their visitor volume higher still, said Brian Eisenbarth, an analyst at Davidson Investment Advisors. "Economic conditions aren't cooperating," said Eisenbarth, whose firm is a holder of Disney stock. "A lot of consumers are in a holding pattern right now, or are on the fence about doing a vacation." Eisenbarth said the targeting of locals by the two promotions represents a realistic strategy of going after people who can make trips with minimal planning.

Nothing mentioned about AP holders at this point....
