Today’s (Feb. 21) New York Times online has a Practical Traveler article filled with theme park travel deals, including some we’ve written about and some additional deals.

And, our new sister site, Disney on the Cheap, has even more tips, including special discounts for the military.

From the Times article:

Worlds of Discovery, the theme park group that includes SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, has joined with nearly 20 hotels in Orlando to offer a buy-three-nights-get-two-free package that includes admission to any two of three parks — SeaWorld, Busch Gardens or Aquatica, SeaWorld’s new water park. Packages, offered only online at www.seaworldvacations.com, start at $561 for a family of four and must be bought by March 1 for travel by June 26. Separately, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Aquatica are offering adult tickets, normally $74.95 each, at the child price ($64.95) when purchased at least a week in advance through the park Web sites (www.worldsofdiscovery.com). Even Discovery Cove, where guests pay $239 a person to swim with dolphins, is offering $50 off reservations when guests book and visit by March 31.

And, don’t forget these deals:

* Go Orlando and Go Miami cards provide up to 50 percent off attractions.

* Free nights at Universal, Sea World and other theme parks.

* Buy four nights, get three free at Disney, though Aug. 15.

* Free Disney visit on your birthday.

* Free discount cards from the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

* Attraction deals for Florida residents.
