Quite often I run acoss ways to save money on just about everything.

 

I thought it would be great to have a place to share some of the deals that I find. Especially if its about theme parks or Traveling to theme parks.

 

So If Robb and Elissa are ok with it, I will keep this as an ongoing post. When I find something new, I will let you know.

Things that you may not know..

 

1 Airline deals update every wednesday (at least for USA) Your super deals are more likely to be available that day. Just notice what days you get "airline sale emails"

 

2 Hotels are very negotiable... if its empty. Places like Sandusky are always expensive when park is open.

In general, alternate lodging is my money-saving plan, more specifically, camping. I already camp nearly every other weekend from April to November, so it really just makes sense to me. Compare an average of $30.00-$50.00/night for a campsite vs. $100.00 or more/night in many cases. If there's a state or national park anywhere near your park of choice, your savings will be even bigger.

 

The one and only time I stayed at a park-owned property was at Hershey Highmeadow Campground (see? still a campground, and still cheaper - plus they had a free shuttle between the camp office and the park).

 

I also happen to be a civilian employee of the U.S. Navy, so I get my park tix onbase (for parks other than SFNE, since I have a season pass) even cheaper than AAA.
