Best Time To Buy Disneyland Tickets
This is actually quite important when it comes to Disneyland tickets. You want to save the most you can and there are certain times of the year when this is possible.
Keep in mind, if you can’t purchase during one of the listed times, that’s okay. It’s better to save something than nothing.
- January-Early February: Disneyland historically has raised its prices every year for the past 5 years. This is done around early February so if you’re planning on going anytime that year, purchase before the price increases.
- Spring time typically has special offers like Adults at Kids Prices or special offers for child tickets. In 2020 the Spring Offer saved guests over $100 per ticket.
- Black Friday and Cyber Monday are also great times to shop for tickets. You can find savings upwards to per ticket, sometimes more.
- Fall time usually brings an Adults at Kids Prices sale which typically doubles the amount of savings per ticket.
There are also times where savings are less because it’s a busier time at the parks. This would include summer and the Holidays from November thru December.
However, if you know you’re going to be traveling to Disneyland during these times, purchase during one of the earlier sales. Tickets sold during there special offers are typically valid throughout the whole year including summer and the Holidays.

Now let’s talk about where you shouldn’t buy your tickets from. It may be the most important list on this page. Nobody wants to lose hard-earned money to a scam so please avoid these places:
- Craigslist
- eBay
- Online Classifieds
- People on a street corner
- Friends and family with used tickets
If you are tempted to buy from these places because someone is offering $50 per day or 50% off tickets, it’s a scam and you’ll be left in the dark and a hole in your pocket. Please don’t do it!
How much are the Disneyland tickets?
This all depends on how many days you want to go for. There are a lot of guests who want to go for just one day so I’ll talk about those first.
Disneyland introduced a new five-tier pricing plan for one-day, one-park tickets as follows: $104 (Tier 1), $114 (Tier 2), $124 (Tier 3), $139 (Tier 4) and $154 (Tier 5). Tier 1 pricing is used on the slower days at the parks and Tier 5 is used on the busiest days at the park.
For 1 day park hopper tickets the pricing is as follows: $159 (Tier 1), $169 (Tier 2), $179 (Tier 3), $194 (Tier 4) and $209 (Tier 5). Like the 1 park per day, the park hopper ticket system is based on attendance so Tier 1 is the slower days and Tier 5 is the busiest days.
For all the other tickets, you can use the table below to see what tickets cost. You’ll also want to see the table above for discounted pricing.
