Costco has the Disneyland Deluxe pass(315 days includes Saturdays, only 50 blackout days) for both parks Disneyland and California Adventure for $269 +$50 Disney gift card in Costco Stores - about 20% off Disneyland price

Combine with 2009 Birthday offer($75 birthday fun card when sign up below) to make it $269 - $50 - $75 = $144
Fun card can be used on merchandise, $50 gift card can be used on anything.

Q: I am an Annual Passholder (or have a valid Multi-Day Ticket that I will use for admission on my birthday in 2009), so I don't need to take advantage of this offer. If I register, is there anything else I could receive on my birthday?

A: Yes, you have several options which are available for you to select once you arrive at the Park with your confirmation message and your proper ID. You can receive:

* A birthday fun card in an amount equal to the price of a 1-day One Day/One Park base ticket* for you to use on your birthday for merchandise, recreation or fun activities at select participating locations at Disneyland® Resort.

Another option for existing Annual Pass holders (AP) is to get the free ticket on your birthday, and after your current AP expires, use the free ticket and upgrade to next years AP, effectively getting a $75 discount, this is great for the So cal AP, $174-$75 = $99 (215 day pass)

This would go great with this deal.

I love double dipping...

It's like coming in from the front all innocent and everything, and once you take advantage of the deal up front, you surprise them with a back door surprise deal!

What? Disneyland and not Disney World? That's coastism.

Does all Costco's have this? I was just about to buy 3 annual passes tomorrow... U just saved me $150bux, Thanks OP

ltrinh said:yazooo said:Yes the double offer sweetens the deal to basially, $269 -$50 - $75 = $144 sweet.

Plus you will easily blow the gift cards on food and mickey ears and parking.
Can you enlighten us about the 'double offer'? And about $75 off?

ThanksThe $75 was meant to indicate what any companions would save off a 1-day ticket if you accompanied them on their birthday.

Actually, he was probably referring to the following:

To Goferebater, It's the same deal at Disneyworld Re: Free Birthday entry, check Disney Parks website for details (which are basically the same...) Don't know about local Costco type merchants in that area for Annual Pass deals though..but have fun on your B-day anyway!

If you plan on doing this deal, just make sure you understand how it works:

1 - you MUST visit the park on your birthday to get the discount
2 - once you get the birthday fun card you MUST spend the full $75 on your birthday, or lose what you don't spend. The fun card will NOT be $75 - if you visit on an adult's birthday it will be $69, or a child's birthday (under age 9) $59. That is the cost of a ONE PARK/ONE DAY ticket

$75 is the cost of a ticket to Disney World, but you can only get that by visiting Disney World on your birthday, not Disneyland.

If you wouldn't be spending $69 on sourvenirs anyway, it's not such a great deal. I don't know if you can use the $69 to upgrade your pass, but if you can, it MUST be done on your birthday. Registering at the website only gives them your information so you don't have to fill out a form when you get there.

Come of the restrictions:

The Birthday Fun Card may not be used towards the payment of Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® Resort Hotel room night folio charges, or a Disney Cruise Line® reservation aboard Disney Cruise Line®, or towards the purchase of any food and beverage items, alcohol, cigarettes, spa services and products, or personal services such as face painting, caricature drawings, hair braiding, and hair wrapping.
More restrictions

So NO FOOD
probably Mickey Ears
probably NO Parking

They want you to spend it on things you wouldn't otherwise be purchasing.

If you don't live nearby, and have an annual pass, it may be a good deal. If live several hours away, and were not already planning to visit on your birthday, it's not such a great deal - because you will have to visit that specific day.

Disney won't be losing any money on this, because most people visit the park with friends - do you and your friends all have the same birthday? If not, they will still have to pay for their tickets. The only people they would potentially lose money on are annual/seasonal pass holders, but they will make many selling food and drinks to them, and whoever visits with them. Pretty good marketing plan!

If I buy the Deluxe pass at Costco now, then when would I have to redeem it by? I currently have an active pass that won't be expiring until next March.

Anyone in SoCal know if Costco has the "Southern California" passport??
