Six Flags have begun selling their Big Six Pass at several parks including Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Great America, Over Georgia, New England, Kentucky Kingdom, St. Louis, Great Adventure, Fiesta Texas & Over Texas. The pass offers 6 visits to the park until the end of 2008 - all for the cost of a one day ticket (around $50).

It’s interesting to see Six Flags take this approach. Could it be a sign of decreased annual pass sales? Or simply a scheme to get more people in the gates and rely on souvenir and food profits?

Going to Disneyland can be an incredibly expensive trip for the family, especially when you factor in admission tickets, accommodation, food, souvenirs and other essential expenses for the typical vacation to The Happiest Place on Earth. To help alleviate your financial worries, here are the top 5 ways to get cheap Disneyland tickets.

• Consider staying at one of the Disneyland hotels. Although they can be more costly over other hotels within Anaheim, the package deals (which includes single and multiple day hopper passes to both Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure) will save you a lot of money. Staying at these hotels will also greatly improve your vacation thanks to it’s easy accessibility to the parks.
• Pre-purchase your tickets on the official Disneyland website. You’ll save up to $40 off tickets when you buy 8 days prior to your planned date.
• If you plan on visiting other theme parks within the area (such as Knotts Berry Farm and Sea World), purchase a Southern California City Pass. In addition to a three-day pass to Disneyland, you also get tickets to Knotts Berry Farm, Sea World and San Diego Zoo.
• If you are visiting with someone that has a military affiliation or background, you’ll be able to enjoy huge discounts on Disneyland tickets.
• Browse around on the internet. There are always people that sell their unused or unwanted passes and are almost always willing to give it away for next to nothing. It is a great way to acquire discount Disneyland tickets, especially if you look in the right places such as forums and auction sites.
