With the Flex Package, good from now through September 15, 2002 (and with variations year-round), you get unlimited entrance into Busch Gardens (roller coasters & an Irish hamlet), Colonial Williamsburg, the Jamestown Settlement (hi, there, Pocahontas!), Water Country USA (the mid-Atlantic's largest family water park) and the Yorktown Victory Center (congratulations, General Washington!). For details and other pricing, contact the Williamsburg Flex Vacation people at 800/400-2851 or log on to www.williamsburgflex.com.
A second value-packed vacation package is the 3-for-1 Wild Card, offered by three of the area's most popular vacation destinations--Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens and Water Country. Between now and October 27, 2002, you can use the Wild Card for three days of unlimited admission to the three tourist targets and get two nights lodging at any Colonial Williamsburg hotel or the nearby Kingsmill Resort. Special package prices (based on two adults and two children, age 6 to 17 staying in the same room) begin as low as $250 per family per night.
That $250 price is what you would pay (or higher) at the Governor's Inn, just a few blocks from the Historic Area and Merchant's Square. From $315 a night (again, per room with two adults and two children), you could stay at the Woodlands Hotel & Suites, the newest onsite hotel in Colonial Williambsurg. The full-service Williamsburg Lodge, top of the line, starts at $389 per night, same details as above. The 3-for-1 Wild Card Vacation Package can be booked through your travel agent or directly by phoning 800/HISTORY (same as 800/447-8679) or going to their Web site, www.colonialwilliamsburg.com.
You should note that the theme parks are open daily throughout the summer, but starting on or about September 2, 2002, may revert to weekend-only opening dates.
