Probably won't go again until they start the SoCal 2fer thing again (I think that was in January or February last year).

The whole point of computer technology is being fast current and up-to-date and "futuristic"...I find this on many webpages and I don't understand why this is acceptable. Ultimately this reflects on the advertisers also. But that is just my opinion...Personally I want this included on Laughingplace and i don't want to have to go to other sites thanks for bringing the subject up, ocdean!

DCA has been too popular. I can see some kind of discounting, but not a two-fer. Maybe a one and a half-er. Or maybe a So Cal park hopper for $99 or something like that.

I've been a member of LP for 12 years. I'm familiar with this site. It is CENTERED on all things Disney .. so why can't I get pricing on DL, here? >>Why have LP people spend their time researching and quoting prices that Disney might change at any given moment?<< At the rate of changing their prices, which is generally once a year ... why should it be a big rigmarole to update price information? I guess I will check Disney's site at this point. I've just been frequenting this site so much .. I thought I could grab that info off of here. Sorry LP Administrators ... If pricing is not going to be updated annually .. If I may suggest ...

So given current prices of $87 1-park or $125 park hopper something like $120 2fer or a $160 2-day hopper would be perhaps somewhere in the ball park. We'll just have to wait and see.

Maybe LP should just provide a few links on their info page. I know AllEars.com and Mousesavers.co are mentioned most frequently on this site...

Originally Posted By fkurucz >>Why fight the crowds during the summer<< While I haven't been back to DL for a few years, my experience with summer was that the crowds were no worse than say in the Fall or Spring and the parks are open later. The most crowded DLR visit we ever had was in October, 2005. It was wall to wall people. Subsequent visits were restricted to summer and were less crowded. Fall used to be our favorite time to visit. The weather is pleasant and the parks would often be very empty, especially mid week. Then, with the advent of Halloween Time, Fall became a crowded time.
Originally Posted By CDF2 Based upon the theory that Disney only offers reduced admission deals to SoCal folks during their "slow" season, that slow season would be January through May with the exception of Spring Break time. With the advent of Halloween special activities and the holiday periods of Thanksgiving and Christmas in Oct-Dec, that time period would seem to be busier than it once was.
Originally Posted By CDF2 Here is all the 2fer information from 2012 taken from an article that ran last January 7th: Just like last year, the deal is no longer two days for the price of one, but two days for a discounted prices of $99. And you can go to your choice of Disneyland or Disney California Adventure each day, you don't have to spend one day at each, as you did under the old 2fer deal. If you want to park hop, you can add that for $15 - making it a $114 for the two-day ticket. You also can add a third day for $30 - $129 without the park-hopper, and $144 with it. Tickets are available online and the offer is good for Southern California residents within ZIP codes 90000-93599 and Northern Baja California residents within ZIP codes 21000-22999. You must use all days of the tickets by June 9, 2012 and there are blockout days from March 30 - April 15, as well as June 4-5. So that was last year's offering - January 7 to June 9.

Originally Posted By LacyBelle That's pretty standard for the DLR multi-day tickets with a two week fuse, so to speak. It's unfortunate that they don't have a non-expiration option for visitors in a similar situtation as yours (as they do at WDW). However, with the ticket fraud (selling, sharing, renting) that seems to be running rampant of late, I don't see the policy changing any time soon. Other than buying two different passes for the lengths of your visits, I don't have any additional advice or suggestions. It seems it would still be cheaper than buying an annual pass. Hopefully someone else will have an idea for you.
