Hi Gail! Welcome to planDisney. I’m so glad you stopped by with this question, because understanding ticket pricing is a great first step in planning a magical visit.
Admission costs for the Disneyland Resort can vary depending on the day you choose to visit and the type of ticket that best fits your plans. Disneyland uses a six tier pricing system for
tickets, which means prices are generally lower on quieter days and higher during peak times such as holidays, school breaks, and special events. This tiered approach helps give guests more flexibility to choose dates that work best for both their schedule and their budget.
In addition to the date, ticket type also plays a role. You can select a One Day One Park ticket if you plan to focus on either
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park for the day. If you would love the option to visit both parks in one day, a Park Hopper ticket allows you to start in one park and hop to the other starting at 11 a.m. each day. Multi-day tickets are another wonderful option and often provide added flexibility for longer stays, with the chance to spread the magic out over several days.
My favorite planning tip is to begin with your ideal travel dates, then explore the available ticket options for those days to see what feels like the best fit for your vacation style. No matter which tier or ticket you choose, you will be stepping into a place filled with storytelling, wonder, and unforgettable moments. I hope your planning is just as joyful as the memories you’ll make once you arrive, and I wish you a truly magical
Disneyland Resort visit.
