Guide Review - Southern California CityPass

The Southern California CityPass is a discounted booklet of tickets for admission to some of Southern California's most popular theme parks including a 3-day Park Hopper ticket to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, one day at Universal Studios Hollywood, SeaWorld San Diego, and your choice of either the San Diego Zoo or San Diego Wild Animal Park.

To get the most of this pass, you really have to plan to spend at least two days at Disney's two parks and visit all three of the other parks. If you are only planning to spend one day at the Disneyland parks and/or only two of the others, you might be better off shopping the attraction websites for their individual discounts.
