Summer Movie Preview 2019: Summer Movies for Kids, Teens and Families

A month-by-month list, my summer movie calendar for 2019.  This list is movies for kids, tweens, teens and families from Toy Story 4 to Men in Black: International. I try not to tease people with movies coming out in April or May because most families are have enough to deal with summer plans, summer school, finals, graduations, etc, etc, etc. So if you want the May movie calendar, you can find it here.  I’ve included movies ratings were possible, and will update this calendar as possible.

Summer Movie Preview 2019: Summer Movies for Kids, Teens and Families

For those of you (us!) looking for Artemis Fowl (Disney), which was scheduled for August 2019.  The release date has been moved to May 2020.

Dark Phoenix coming to movie theaters summer 2019.Dark Phoenix |  PG-13 | 7 June 2019
This is the story of one of the X-Men’s most beloved characters, Jean Grey, as she evolves into the iconic DARK PHOENIX.

Wrestling with this increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean spirals out of control, tearing the X-Men family apart and threatening to destroy the very fabric of our planet. The film is the most intense and emotional X-Men movie ever made. It is the culmination of 20 years of X-Men movies, as the family of mutants that we’ve come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet — one of their own.

But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family’s road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep. After years of being on her own, Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior.

Save on Disneyland 3-5 Day Park Passes at Target

I feel like an expert on this subject after our recent trip to Disneyland. I checked all of my favorite sites, Costco, AAA, the Disneyland app and Slickdeals.  And buying the tickets at Target using a Target Redcard beat everyone.  Here is the current deal at Target*:

3 Day 1-Park Per Day $210 | With REDcard: $199.50 or $66.50/per day
3 Day Park Hopper $260 | With REDcard: $247 or about $82.33/per day
4 Day Park Hopper $279 | With REDcard: $265.05 or $66.26/per day
5 Day Park Hopper $289 | With REDcard: $274.55 or just under $54.91/per day

Highlights of the Disneyland Tickets Purchased at Target

  • All of Target’s Disneyland tickets are valid now through May 23rd, 2019 with Easter week blacked out. Ticket expires 13 days from first use or 5/23/19, whichever occurs first.
  • Target’s Disneyland tickets include one (1) Magic Morning admission to Disneyland Park (restrictions apply, check Disneyland.com for Magic Morning schedule).
  • Tickets are non-refundable. Unused Tickets keep their value toward an upgrade to something of equal or greater value at the Box Office.
  • Tickets are delivered via email within 4 hours.

Saving Money with Disney Gift Card eGift Purchased at Target

Absolutely, using the Target REDcard gets you the 5% discount! You can purchase Disney egift cards online and receive the egift card via email.  But, another good hack for this is the Disney credit card.  Currently new card holders get a $100 statement credit after their first purchase. I would suggest getting a Disney credit card for each adult on the trip and take advantage of this savings first for souvenirs and food in the park.  Marian’s Note:  Have a mentioned that I would use my credit card for $1 of gas, just to get a perk?  Be Bold!

What About Prices for 1 or 2 Days at Disneyland Resort? Single Park Tickets?

Single day tickets are only available at Disneyland or through the Disneyland app (or website).

If you are really, absolutely, only going to go to 1 park each day, then the 2 day ticket with admission to 1 park per day will save you $55 per ticket.  $225 (adult) and $210 (child).  But if you expect to visit both Disneyland and California Adventure parks over two days and want the flexibility to go to both parks each day, then the 3 Day Park Hopper ticket is your best bargain. Confusing I know, but check the numbers below.

1 Day/1 Park 1 Day/2 Parks
$104-$149 Adults $154-$199 Adults
$98-$141 Kids $148-$191 Kids
2 Day/1 Park 2 Day/2 Parks
$225 Adults $280 Adults
$210 Kids $265 Kids
3 Day/1 Park 3 Day/2 Parks
$300 Adults $355 Adults
$280 Kids $335 Kids

* These Target ticket prices are for adults (ages 10+).  Tickets for kids (3-9) are $50 cheaper. Tickets for kids are available online at Target.com too.

Have A Happy!

Ice Skating in San Jose at Downtown Ice

Holiday ice skating has returned to San Jose with Downtown Ice at the Circle of Palms. The ice skating rink is next to the Fairmont Hotel and the San Jose Museum of Art, and across the street from The Tech and Christmas in the Park. In addition, this year Downtown Ice will be open from November 16, 2018 to January 27, 2019.  Downtown Ice will become  “Championship Ice” Jan. 4-7 for the CFP Championship Game on Jan 7th, and will be open until Jan 27 for the NHL All Star Game at SAP Center.

Downtown Ice in San Jose is one of the best bargains for holiday skating rinks because a ticket is for “all you can skate” instead of just for a skating session.  To stay up to date on discounts, offers and special events, sign up for the Downtown Ice newsletter or follow Downtown Ice at Facebook and Twitter.
