1-Day Universal Express Tickets (includes Admission)
You can go to one Disneyland park with lighting lane for less (we went on a weekday - same as we did for Disney). The park hours here are short, there are not that many rides and most of the rides are motion simulation which makes you sick very easily. I think it is overpriced (more than Disney) and should be priced more like six flags but it was fun and I'm glad we went. The Express pass is WELL WORTH IT the lines get long and they are only open for 8 hours.
