Costco has a nice Disneyland/California Adventures pre-paid card deal …

$259 plus a “rebate” of $50 dollars as a Costco check card – in effect $209 for a 4-day park hopper pass. Good until February 28, 2013.

(it takes me about 2-minutes to spend $50 at Costco).

Surprise, California Adventures is getting an extra 22,000 visitors daily … is it CARS Land or the wine availability? You can read more fun insider gossip at MiceAge …

“For example, the statue of Stanley near the Courthouse will soon be transformed into a new version of the statue called Santa Stanley, with a Santa hat and beard and bag full of toys slung over his rear axle. The original concept had a small Woody doll sticking out of the bag, as a sly nod to other Pixar successes. But John Lasseter and Pixar nixed that idea, not wanting to let other stories and characters creep into the Cars Land environment.”

So, plan ahead!
