CityPass has five cost-taming tips for a memorable city vacation:
1. Purchase a CityPass for New York, Southern California (theme parks), Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, Seattle, San Francisco, Hollywood, or Houston at Citypass, and print the voucher at home to save money on shipping fees. The voucher is redeemable at any participating attraction, so not a step is wasted. Once in hand, CityPass allows visitors to bypass most ticket lines, spending time inside cool attractions, rather than overheating in long lines. CityPass includes general admission to the most popular attractions and sightseeing in each city and often includes an extra value, such as an IMAX movie, audio tour, or same-day admission to a sister museum.

Cape Fear: “Hollywood East”
Did you know that Wilmington and North Carolina’s Cape Fear Coast is often referred to as “Hollywood East”? That’s because North Carolina ranks as the third busiest film-making destination for U.S. film production. Since 1983, more than 400 projects have been filmed here. Who knows? A chance celebrity sighting could occur while you’re shopping or dining or touring.
A weekend of movie-making magic includes a guided weekend tour of EUE/Screen Gems Studios, the largest movie production facility east of Los Angeles. There’s also a walking tour of downtown movie locations, including Sleeping with the Enemy, Blue Velvet, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Weekend at Bernie’s, A Walk to Remember, and dozens more. ($12 for adults; $10 for seniors/students/military; ages 6 and under, free.)
Also the Visitor’s Bureau offers free FAQ (Frequently-Asked Questions) sheets with self-guided tours to locations used in Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill.
