Groupon Deal Kicks Off Busch Gardens Season

This is one of the better (perhaps the best) deals you're likely to find as the park opens its doors for the season on March 23.

But act fast, because sometimes Groupon deals like this only last a few days or a week. (If the deal doesn't come up immediately, just type "Busch Gardens" in the Groupon search bar.)

And remember, Fun Cards don't include parking. You can save $2 (you'll pay $18 per day instead of $20) if you purchase your parking in advance online.)

Busch Gardens Williamsburg Pass Member Preview

Only 11 more days until Busch Gardens Williamsburg opens for the season-- that is, if you're a pass member.

Pass members can take advantage of Pass Member Preview Day on March 16. You'll get to enjoy the park a full one week before the general public, plus take advantage of a free concert by the Deloreans, a St. Patrick's Day celebration, and a member town hall.

Pass member plans start at just $9.99 a month (or, for $2 a month extra, you can include Water Country USA in your membership). If you haven't been to the park for awhile, remember that annual membership now gives you access to both Howl-O-Scream and Christmas Town as well.

Membership plans range from the Basic Plan, a no-frills deal with certain blackout dates, to their Unlimited, Premier, and Platinum plans.

I've got the details on the plans so you can see which one may be best for you.

Is Discount Carrier Allegiant Worth it?

Normally, I'm a DC-to-parts-unknown kind of girl. But I wanted to save our family money on a recent trip to Florida, so I decided to give discount airline Allegiant a go (with some trepidation).

Was it worth it?

The process began months before when I was trying to get a decent fare to Orlando at Christmas time -- not an easy task! I like to use the Hopper app to keep me posted on when fares were going up or down, but I wasn't thrilled with the prices I was seeing, or with the fact that the best fares seemed to be for mujlti-leg flights.

Then I remembered that my hubby's friend had recommended Allegiant Airlines, a discount airline that files to limited locations on select days, and generally out of smaller airports. To my happy surprise, they had a good fare from Roanoke, VA, to Sanford Airport just north of Orlando.

Here were our pluses and minuses of the experience.

You Won't Believe this Admission Deal

When I saw this admission deal for Newport News' Mariner's Museum, I did a double-take. What I'd read couldn't possibly be accurate.

But it's true. Starting Nov. 18, Newport News' Mariners Museum will charge just $1 for admission. And it's not just for a short time, either. According to their website, it's that way permanently.

Since this is a pretty amazing museum, filled with lots of interactive exhibits, movies, and hands-on things for adults and kids, I don't know how they are doing it (maybe they got a really rich donor?). But hey, I'm just glad it's free!

Here's why you'll find--more than ever-- a visit to the Mariners Museum is so worth your while.

Howl-O-Scream Member Sneak Peek Rescheduled

Okay, that's a bit of a misleading headline. Busch Gardens Williamsburg's Howl-O-Scream had to cancel their Members' Sneak Peek night thanks to Hurricane Florence. They aren't exactly rescheduling, BUT they are making things up to members by announcing a special Members' Exclusive Night on Oct 4 from 5 pm to 11 pm.

No details have been shared yet, but expect to hear them soon from their Twitter @Busch GardensVA feed.

In the meantime, you can get the Howl-O-Scream facts you need, like hours, operating dates, and ticket deals here.
