With a wave of his sorcerer's wand, Mickey Mouse (disguised as ATA Vacations) is turning a three-night stay at Disneyland into four nights, with no increase in price, for vacations there this fall. Some, with airfare and other amenities, start as low as $719 from Chicago's Midway Airport. ATA says this deal can save families up to $200 per adult.
Book between now and January 3, 2003 (with travel by January 7), and you'll get this four nights-for-price-of-three offer. The $719 mentioned is per person (of course) and is valid for Tuesday departures from October 22 through November 19, 2002. For departures from December 3 through 10, add another $40. ATA, operated by The Mark Travel Corporation in Milwaukee, is one of the largest vacation companies and operators of private-label brands in the US.
The vacations allow for five days of unlimited park hopping between Disneyland Park and Disney's newer addition to fantasy trips, the California Adventure. It also includes the four nights of lodging in participating Disneyland Resort hotels, including the Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Grand Californian Hotel or Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. The $719 price is for the Paradise Pier, hotel and air taxes, the 5-day Park Hopper ticket and 24-hour traveler assistance.
Prices and the offer itself are subject to change without notice, and do not include the following per person charges, which may vary depending on the itinerary: Passenger Facility Charges (airport) of up to $18, Air Segment Fees of $3 per segment and a September 11th Security Fee of up to $10. Some restrictions and blackout dates may apply. The $719 price is based on bookings made on-line.
