Christmas at the Princess is beautiful and fun for the whole family. It’s also expensive. VERY EXPENSIVE. Don’t visit without a plan. If you book directly through the Princess, you’ll pay $35 + a $5 fee for each ticket AND $35 plus a $5 fee for parking. That’s $200 for a family of four. Head over here for a deal…you’ll get four admissions and parking for one car for $106.34 with code PROMO good today only on Groupon (check your account for other codes like MISSYOU that could save you even more)! I’m thrilled they’re allowing codes on this deal now, they haven’t in the past. Please note there are many other optional money-spending opportunities once you get inside (not necessary to enjoy the experience in my opinion)!
