• Go Cards (San Diego and Los Angeles)

Build Your Own Custom Explorer Pass for San Diego

The Custom Explorer Pass is offered by the same company that sells the Go Cards. This pass is a great option for those that know exactly what they want to see in San Diego, travelers who want to spend a little less than the Go San Diego Card price and people who want to take their time, since the Custom Explorer Pass is valid for 30 days.

Go Cards

Go Cards are available for San Diego and Los Angeles and provide admission to multiple attractions in Southern California. Be sure to look at both cards and see which one fits your plans best, because there is some overlap in what they include.

• 1-day admission to Universal Hollywood

• 1-day admission to SeaWorld San Diego

• 1-day admission to the San Diego Zoo OR San Diego Wild Animal Park

Buying in Person

The Southern California CityPass can be purchased at Disneyland or any of the other attractions included in the pass.

Some Costco stores offer the Southern California CityPass at great prices. Oddly, it is not being sold in Southern California stores, according to several reader reports. However, readers have reported seeing CityPass for sale in neighboring states, including Hawaii, Utah, Colorado and Washington. If you are interested, call your local Costco to check on availability. At Costco you'll pick up a package off the shelf. After making your purchase, you must trade the package at the service counter for the ticket(s).

Buying Online

You can also buy the Southern California CityPass online at:

• Costco.com sometimes offers a very good discount on the CityPass and you don't even have to be a Costco member to buy through their site. (Non-members pay a 5% surcharge, however.) There is a shipping charge when ordering from Costco.com.

• Disneyland.com has CityPass at full price. Will Call (pickup at ticket booth) is FREE.

• Universal Studios has CityPass at full price. Print@Home ticketing is FREE. If you purchase your Southern California CityPass using Print@Home ticketing, your ticket must be redeemed FIRST at Universal Studios Hollywood, where you will receive your tickets to the other attractions.

• CityPass web site has CityPass at full price. Shipping rate varies and is sometimes free.

• ARES Travel has CityPass at full price. Pick up tickets at any Disneyland main entrance ticket window.

Reportedly, should you decide to upgrade your 2010 CityPass to a Disneyland Annual Pass, you'll be credited $204 for an adult ticket, $174 for a child ticket (gate price of a 3-Day Park Hopper).
