A new Orlando CityPASS bundle arrives this week with up to 50% off admission to the city's major attractions, valid year-round. That's a concrete savings on one of the costliest parts of a multi-day Orlando trip, and it's far from the only family deal worth your attention this week.
Multi-city attraction passes worth comparing
CityPASS bundles are live across five major cities right now, each locking in savings on your biggest admission costs before you arrive. Orlando leads at up to 50% off, but Dallas runs a close second at 56%, and Boston and Houston also offer meaningful discounts on their most popular museums, observation decks, and experiences. If you're planning a fall or winter city trip with school-age kids, these passes let you stack visits across multiple attractions without buying single tickets at the gate. Orlando's pass covers the broadest mix of theme parks and cultural sites, while Dallas, Boston, and Houston packages tilt toward museums and local attractions if your family leans that way.
All-inclusive and resort stays through the season
All-inclusive properties across the Caribbean are holding steep discounts through the fall and winter travel window. Up to 65% off runs across multiple operators with no expiration date specified, giving you time to plan without pressure. RIU Hotels & Resorts properties via Apple Vacations also offer up to 60% off, and family-friendly vacation packages scale the same discount across smaller resorts and all-inclusive stays. For families with flexible school calendars, these evergreen rates mean you can book a beach trip months ahead without waiting for a flash sale.
Mexico's theme parks and experiences
Xcaret parks across Mexico's Caribbean coast are running two concurrent deals. Children get 25% off admission through January 2027, which directly cuts what you pay per child ticket, and Xoxi (Xcaret's water park) is 32% off through mid-September. The water-park discount expires sooner, so if that property fits your itinerary, book before the end of the month.
Smaller discounts still worth stacking
A few deals carry modest percentages but apply broadly enough to layer into a larger trip plan. 10% off Fury Catamaran excursions runs through January 2027, so it works alongside longer hotel bookings. Undercover Tourist still has savings on LEGOLAND Florida tickets and Universal Orlando 2-day passes, though neither deal is new this week. Chicago's CityPASS at up to 50% off remains overlooked by families planning Midwest city trips and pairs well with a longer fall or spring break.
