Obviously Disneyland is doing really poorly if they are paying for kids to fly there.

Oh, please. This is a promotion so frequent it could be considered a tradition. It has no bearing on Disney's success or lack thereof. Thanks for the post Darkbeer, it is very useful.

I have checked into this pretty extensively and it's cheaper to just by everyone a ticket because of the price they charge for the adults ticket $400plus was my quote, I found individual tickets at the united site for $171.80. plus they would only do it in a package that didn't have the hotel I wanted for an option.
