Freebie Friday: Kids fly free to Disneyland via AK Air

The promotion is almost as straightforward as it sounds: for vacations now through mid-April, Alaska Air will be waiving the fare for kids going to Disneyland.

Oh sure, there are black-out dates, taxes to contend with, age restrictions ( 2-11 only on this one), and a limit on the amount of kids one can bring (its one per paying adult). But still, this is a darn fine deal for families living in Anchorage, Chicago, Austin, Vancouver or any of the other gateways the airline services. Alaska Airlines Vacations offers a wide range of possible accommodations and will add-on Park Hopper passes for those interested.

I know that some folks pass by Disneyland in favor of the much larger DisneyWorld, but when I took my family to "the Land" several years back for three nights we never ran out of things to do and see. In fact, we needed another couple of days to get it all in! And with the crazy weather in Florida this year, California's Disney experience may be the more temperate one.
