So that's life at six figures plus, eh?? ;-)
Seriously, last time I took the family to Legoland, we bought discount tix at COSTCO (there's one RIGHT next door to Legoland, actually), and it STILL cost me enough that we determined to make an entire day of it. I just don't have the fiscal disposition to drop that kind of change only to split the establishment some time after mid-day. No chance. If I lay out that much cabbage, we're there for the duration; first in, last out.
We priced out a family visit to The Tragic Kingdom in Anaheim: darn near $700 — for ONE flippin’ DAY! Yeah, there are six of us, but OY VEY!
FWIW, Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park is a FAR better deal at just $200 for my whole crew.
Did neither this trip, though. Went over to a couple of different BBQ/pool parties Friday and Sunday, and visited with friends; spent this afternoon at the Discovery Science Center right there next to Main Place in Santa Ana; brother's 40th b-day is tomorrow; then I hit the road for home on Wednesday.
One thing we DID do this trip is hit up Johnny Rebs’ in Orange for some southern-style cooking. Good stuff, IMO. Y'oughta get over there if your out on the 55 freeway around dinnertime. On the south side of Chapman, East of the freeway a few blocks. One of a handful of places around where you can get for real hushpuppies, sweet potato fries, fried okra, and some darned good barbecued ribs. Not a cheap joint, but you get a real platter full for your money, so you'd best show up HUNGRY. Oh, and one other thing: from the outside, the way they've done the place it LOOKS like it's a condemned building, or abandoned, or at least oughta be. Don't let it throw ya; it's part of the whole southern motif.

My niece received and inheritance so she paid her way and her kids, my sister paid for and her kids. I still have change from $100. This is because we didn't buy drinks or food in the park. They don't have Wienerschnitzel where they live so they requested to go there. We had sodas in the ice cooler so I paid $13.57 for dinner for 5 people. We ended up driving by the beach on or way home. Today is Disneyland.
