February School Vacation Week is coming. If you plan ahead NOW, you can nab ticket deals on Disney on Ice, the musical HONK!, Cirque Dreams and other memorable shows that will turn a day of "I'm bored..." into "Wow!" -- with enough cash left over to take everyone out for pizza afterwards. Seats for these shows and other family events just went on sale at ArtsBoston's discount website BosTixJr.org. Though there are plenty of seats right now, quantities are limited; for the best choice of seats and dates, please buy yours online soon!

They also let you skip box office lines at popular attractions. You can buy tickets here to the New England Aquarium, Trolley Tours, Freedom Trail Tours and more, all for the same price as at the box office...and then sail past the lines at the door.
