Some deals are already live for this year, but stay tuned for more. I’m keeping an eye on Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals in San Diego for 2026 at our major theme parks and hotels, as well as those from other travel brands globally.
I’ll keep this list updated as new deals are released. I’ll also point out hotel promotions that look appealing but don’t offer as much value as the VIP hotel benefits we can arrange, so you can see which deals are actually worth booking.
