问题     This year, more than 43 million people are expected to visit Disney’ s theme park complexes in California, Florida, Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo. But visiting can require a huge commitment. A one-day admission to Anaheim, California’ s famed Disneyland in June, for instance, starts at $87 for those aged 10 and older.
    To get your money’s worth, it pays to check out independent Disney trip-planning websites in advance. They have excellent track records for keeping their detailed trip-planning resources up to date, and are not affiliated with the Disney brand, enabling them to provide unbiased recommendations for saving money at the various parks. Some of the sites also dispense advice on how to avoid long queues, find lodging and otherwise make the most of your visit.
    Undercover Tourist is a website run since 2000 by an authorized Orlando broker where tickets to Florida’ s Walt Disney World are usually less expensive than tickets sold at the park gate; a recent five-day pass purchased through Undercover Tourist was 11 % cheaper. The site anticipates that Walt Disney World will hike single-day admission prices this year—the park traditionally makes these announcements every June and has been averaging 6% hikes in recent years—but notes that tickets booked at current prices will remain valid, so you can buy tickets now, and use them after the price hike. The site also sells competitively-priced lodging and discount tickets to other Orlando-area attractions, such as SeaWorld or Universal Studios. As a bonus, the website’ s free apps for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry list real-time wait times at all the rides in the park.
    Mousesavers specializes in publishing deals and promotions offered by Disney and related companies, such as 15% discounts off park hotel stays. The 12-year-old site mainly publishes deals for Disney’s US parks, though non-US residents can take advantage of most of the offers and the site does have trip-planning information for the non-US locations. Especially useful is Mousesavers’ frequently asked questions sections for the California and Florida parks. For example, the site explains that some non-Disney affiliated hotels near Disneyland and Walt Disney World pay for the right to advertise themselves as official Disney’ s "Good Neighbor" hotels. But according to Mousesavers, these hotels aren’ t consistently better in quality, price or upkeep than other properties in the area and the label shouldn ’t be used as a factor when picking a place to stay.
    Theme Park Insider, founded in 1999, its coverage of global Disney parks is incredibly authoritative. In a May blog post, it pointed out that Disneyland is heavily patronized by locals—hundreds of thousands of whom hold annual passes. So the site recommends you visit on dates when those annual passes aren’t valid, such as on Saturdays in June and July. [br] What’ s the main idea of the passage?
选项 A、Introducing some independent Disney trip-planning websites.
B、How to visit Disney’ s theme park complexes with less money.
C、Advice on how to make most of your trip to Disney Land.
D、Tips on visiting Disney’s theme park.
答案 A
解析 主旨题。本文主要介绍了几家提供关于游览迪士尼乐园建议的网站。重点介绍了“间谍游客”。“老鼠拯救者”和“主题公园知情人”这三个网站。所以A项是文章大意。B、C、D讲的都只是介绍这些网站的原因．以及这些网站的主要作用，不是文章最主要的关注点。因此，正确答案是A。
