No matter which Sam's Club membership type you pay for, did you know that your membership benefits include access to some hot travel deals on attraction tickets through a special website? Well, now you do.
I recently did some deal hunting on Sam's Club's "Travel & Entertainment" website and found out you can save 11% - 38% on tickets to the San Diego Zoo, Disneyland, and SeaWorld just by booking through the Sam’s Club vacations portal. No Sam's Club coupons required.
But these special travel deals aren't shoppable in-person, and they're not always a good deal. For example, I found that for certain parks (like Universal Studios Hollywood), it was actually cheaper to book directly through Universal Studios instead of the Sam’s Club vacations site.
For others — like the five deals I'm sharing below — you can definitely save some easy cash just by booking through Sam's Club. Just know that you won't earn any Sam's Cash on these travel deals (not even the 2% back like you usually do with Plus membership). And taxes and any fees will be extra.
With all that in mind, these top travel deals from Sam’s Club still beat anything you’ll find when buying direct!

1. Save up to $28 per Disney World ticket (a savings of 7% - 8%).
From April 2 - Sept. 22, 2024, Sam’s Club is offering a deal on their Travel & Entertainment website featuring 4-day, 4-park tickets to Disney World theme parks for just $92/day for ages 10+.
If you were to buy the same 4-day, 4-park tickets directly from Disney World, it would cost $99/day, meaning you’ll save a total of $28 per person when you buy the bundle from Sam’s Club.
For kids ages 2 - 9, the same 4-day, 4-park ticket pricing is $73.41/day through Sam's Club versus $79/day through Disney World. So you'll save $22.36 per child.
With this deal, you can visit one Disney World theme park per day (but you can't visit the same park more than once).
Gate Price | Sam's Club Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|
$79 - $99 per day | $73.41 - $92 per day | $5.59 - $7 per day (7% - 8%) |
For a shorter trip, you might also consider the 3-day, 3-park tickets for $83 per day from Sam’s Club (vs. $89 from Disney). These tickets include Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. By buying through Sam's Club, you'll save $6 per ticket, per day, for a total of $18/ticket savings over the course of three days.
KCL TIP: Buy discounted Disney gift cards from Sam's Club before your trip to use on food and souvenirs. Sam’s Club sells $200 Disney gift cards for $190 (5% savings), and $500 Disney gift cards for $484.98 (3% savings).
2. Pay children's prices on adult Park Hopper tickets to Disneyland and California Adventure (11% savings).
Sam’s Club is selling 3-day adult Park Hopper tickets to Disneyland and California Adventure for $412.49, which comes out to $137/day. That's the same price as their 3-day kids’ Park Hopper tickets.
Compare that to the price that Disneyland charges — $153/day, or $460 for the 3-day Park Hopper pack. That means purchasing your Disneyland Park Hopper bundle tickets through Sam’s Club will save you $47.51 per adult.
Buying the children’s 3-day Park Hopper bundle directly through Disneyland is $435, which is 6% more than Sam’s Club price on the same bundle.
Gate Price | Sam's Club Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|
$153 per day for 3-day Adult Park Hopper Ticket Bundle | $137 per day | $16 per day (11%) |
$145 per day for 3-day Children’s Park Hopper Ticket Bundle | $137 per day | $8 per day (6%) |
KCL TIP: Before you buy Disneyland tickets through Sam’s Club, we recommend checking Disneyland's reservation calendar on their website to make sure your preferred days are available (since capacity can be limited).
3. Save 22% on San Diego Zoo tickets.
You'll save 22% on adult tickets to the San Diego Zoo if you purchase them for just $56.34 through Sam’s Club. Those same tickets cost $72 when purchased directly through the San Diego Zoo. Children’s tickets for ages 3-11 years old are just $48.60 through Sam’s Club, compared to $62 direct.
Gate Price | Sam's Club Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|
$72 Adult Ticket | $56.34 | $15.66 (22%) |
$62 Children’s Ticket | $48.60 | $13.40 (22%) |
KCL TIP: If you need to book a flight, know that Sam's Club drops their prices on Southwest Airlines gift cards around Black Friday and a few other times of the year. The Black Friday deal is hard to beat — it's a $500 Southwest Airlines gift card for $399.98.
4. Save 10% - 38% on tickets to Sesame Place or SeaWorld (San Diego).
If you’re heading to Sesame Place or SeaWorld in San Diego, why not go to both? Sam’s Club is selling a one-day, two-park bundle for just $128.99/person.
If you were to purchase the tickets directly from each park, you’d pay $89.99/ticket for ages 3+ at Sesame Place (though, we do see an online sale where each ticket is $59.99). And for the equivalent two-day bundle deal, you'd pay $142.99/ticket. That’s an easy $20 savings when you bundle them through Sam’s Club!
Sam’s Club also sells 1-day passes to Sesame Place for just $55.99, which is an instant $34 savings, or 38% off the Sesame Place ticket price.
Gate Price | Sam's Club Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|
$89.99 per day at Sesame Place, ages 3+ | $55.99 per day | $34 (38%) |
$60 per day at SeaWorld, ages 3+ | *see SeaWorld + Sesame Place bundle price | -- |
$142.99 bundle ticket to SeaWorld + Sesame Place | $128.99 per bundle ticket | $14 (10%) |
5. Save 12% on Universal Studios Orlando tickets from Sam's Club.
Buy a 4-day ticket bundle to Universal Studios Orlando from Sam’s Club for just $262/ticket for ages 10+, which comes out to $65.50/day.
The same 4-day ticket bundle purchased directly from Universal Studios Orlando will cost $296 for ages 10+, or $74/day. That’s an easy 12% savings when you plan your trip using Sam’s Club.
Gate Price | Sam's Club Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|
$74 per day | $65.50 per day | $8.50 per day (12%) |
