Since I am well known as a Disneyland connoisseur, I’m often approached by friends or blog readers asking me for advice on planning their trip. The one thing EVERYONE always asks me is, “How can I get discount Disneyland tickets?”
While Disneyland occasionally offers good seasonal discounts on their hotel rooms, and multi-day tickets offer the best value per-day, Disney doesn’t really offer discounts on their Park tickets. Every now and then Costco might have a good deal on multi-day tickets, and members of the military can usually get discount tickets. But that’s pretty much it. (And for goodness sake, NEVER buy tickets off of Craigslist!!)
The only SAFE way for most Guests to get valid Disneyland tickets at a discount is through a travel agency, such as Undercover Tourist!!

Discount Disneyland Tickets for 2024
Current Disneyland Ticket Prices
There are many types of Disneyland tickets offered to Guests. The type of ticket you want to buy will depend on your age, which Parks you want to visit, what day you want to visit, and how many days you want to visit.
If you want to visit Disneyland or Disney California Adventure for just one day, the price will vary depending on demand for that day. For example, a Saturday ticket will cost more than a Tuesday ticket.
If you want the option of going back and forth between the two Parks, you will need a Park Hopper ticket ($60-$75 add on).
If you plan on going for multiple days in a row (or multiple days between a set period of time), you will want to purchase a Multi-Day ticket.
*Updated as of October 9, 2024. Prices are subject to change at any time. Refer to the Disneyland website for the most up-to-date pricing on tickets.

California Discount Tickets for 2023
* This deal is no longer being offered.
Surprise! If you live in California, Disneyland Resort has a special offer for you!
California Residents can purchase a special 3-day, 1 park per day ticket for the low price of $249, which comes out to $83 per day. (Valid for Monday through Thursdays.)
For a 3 day, 1 park per day ticket valid Monday through Sunday, the cost is $299.
Guests can upgrade to a park hopper ticket for an extra $60. Genie+ can also be added to the tickets for an additional cost.
HOWEVER, if you purchase your California Resident ticket through my travel partner Undercover Tourist, you can save even more money!
Click the link below, and scroll down until you see the section “California Resident Tickets: Disneyland® Resort.”
Click here to purchase your California Resident summer discount tickets through Undercover Tourist.
These tickets are valid from June 12, 2023 through September 28, 2023. Some blockout dates apply. Guests must make their three park reservations at the time of purchase.
Fine print: This offer is valid only for California residents within ZIP codes 90000-96199 [and Northern Baja California residents within ZIP codes 21000-22999]; proof of eligible residency, including valid government-issued photo ID, is required for purchase and admission.
Disneyland Annual Passes / Magic Key
Disneyland sunset the Annual Pass program in 2021. Its replacement is called Magic Key! Magic Key passes work very similar to the old Annual Passes, but there are a few differences.

Discount Magic Key Hack!
* Please note this “hack” does not work right now because new Magic Key passes are not available to purchase.
While there are no official discounts on Disneyland Magic Keys, you can use this work around to save some money!
If you purchase a Disneyland discounted multi-day ticket through Undercover Tourist, you should be able to “upgrade” that ticket to a Magic Key pass via the Disneyland app on the final day you use the ticket. Note that you can only upgrade to a Magic Key type that is available, and not currently sold out. And you MUST upgrade by the end of the day on your final day of use.
The discounted California resident tickets CANNOT be upgraded.
How Many Days Should I Visit?
Between the two Parks – Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, plus the Downtown Disney District, it’s tough to see everything in one day!
I recommend taking at least three days to casually enjoy the Disneyland Resort. You could possibly see and do everything you want in two days, but three days will give you more time to relax and enjoy the Parks!
You Must Make Park Reservations!
NEW!!! Starting in 2021, you must make Park reservations in advance of your visit!
Park reservations allow the Disneyland Resort to limit the number of Guests in the Parks, which enhances the quality of Guest experience. It also allows Disneyland executives to determine how busy the Parks will be that day.
Prior to purchasing your tickets, be sure to check the reservation calendar to see if the days you want to visit have reservations available. Reservations open up 120 days in advance, and are released at 8am. Click here to see the availability calendar and make reservations.
Once you purchase your tickets, you can link them to your Disneyland account and make your theme park reservations. I recommend making your reservations as soon as possible! Weekends and holidays tend to book up very quickly.
It is possible to grab last minute reservations if you keep checking the calendar, since Guests are cancelling reservations all the time. But best to make your reservations as early as you can!
