Disneyland Tickets, Prices and Magic Key Information

The pricing for Disneyland tickets are based on the Guests’ specific dates of travel. Pricing may be lower during off-peak travel periods. Tickets will need to be used during a specific time period as well. Multi-day tickets are a better value than single-day tickets. Multi-day discounts will vary depending on the length of the ticket.

Park Reservations

A valid park reservation for each day you plan to visit is needed in addition to valid theme park tickets.

Additionally, the illegal ticket rental business has been booming at Disneyland in recent years. Disneyland Multi-day tickets are not transferable, however, and in an effort to prevent ticket fraud, Disneyland resort is now requiring that all guests using multi-day tickets have their photo taken. When the multi-day pass is used a second time, cast members manning the park turnstiles will see a photo of the guest pop up on a screen. The photo must match the person using the ticket in order to gain entry into the park.

2024 Disneyland Tickets, Prices and Options

Disneyland tickets can be purchased in advance online at disneyland. The only delivery option available online is the eTicket option and is free of charge. Tickets will be emailed as a pdf file to the email address specified. Printed e-tickets will be have a unique bar code that can be scanned at park turnstiles. Printed eTickets will then be exchanged for regular Disneyland admission tickets or Park Hoppers of the appropriate number of days.  Park reservations must be selected prior to the ticket purchase.

The costs of a single park Disneyland ticket prices depends on the day of your visit and are as follows:

• 1 Day 1 Park from $104

Disneyland admission tickets are also offered by a number of ticket brokers and vendors online that buy tickets from Disney in bulk and pass on the savings. We recommend ARES Travel for discounted Southern California attraction tickets.

Upgrades for Disneyland Tickets

The value of an unused or partially used ticket or pass can be applied to upgrading to a higher value ticket or Magic Key as long as the upgrade occurs prior to the ticket expiration and Magic Key is available for purchase. For instance, a partially used 3-Day Park Hopper that has not expired and is within 13 days of first use can be upgraded a 5-Day Park Hopper or to a Magic Key. Visit any Guest Services window to upgrade your ticket or pass. For tickets purchased at a discount, the price you “actually” paid will be applied to your upgrade; this information is encoded in the ticket. Older Disneyland passes with no printed expiration date are still valid as admission media at Disneyland Resort, but because of their low value, are probably better used for park admission than applying towards an upgrade.

Magic Keys

Disneyland Annual Passports have been retired since the parks’ closure due to COVID-19. In it’s place is the new Magic Key.

There are four levels of Magic Key Passes.  Choose the one that fits your needs best!

Disney allows Annual Passholders who live in SoCal the ability renew or buy a new pass and pay for it by the month. The initial cost is equivalent to the cost of a 1-Day, 1-Park ticket, and the remaining cost is spread out over 12 months. There is no finance charge to use this option. A discount is available on Premium and Deluxe renewals.

Other Ways to Get Discounts for Disneyland Tickets

First, never buy tickets sold on eBay, Craigslist or any unauthorized source. Disneyland tickets come with a printed expiration date and used tickets expire 13 days after first use. There is no way to tell how many days may be left on a multi-day ticket other than at the park turnstiles, or for that matter, if the tickets are even real. Furthermore, Disneyland Resort tickets are non-transferable, so don’t expect Disney to help if you get burnt buying a great deal. If you have any doubt about the wisdom of this statement, you can read about ticket scams that took place in the Disneyland area and on Craigslist. As a result of this and similar incidents and ticket rental scams, Disney is now requiring that guests have their photo taken when using all multi-day tickets. Online, use ticket vendors recommended on long-standing Disney information sites and communities when purchasing any attraction tickets and avoid all others. Most Disney communities have a long history with reliable vendors and you will see those vendors mentioned often on forums, boards, and email lists.

**** The ability of Magic Key holders to make and hold park reservations will be impacted by the “no show” policy. Magic Key holders who are a “no show” for 3 reservations in a 90-day window will be unable to make new park reservations for 30 days. Existing park reservations at that time will not be cancelled. The 30-day period begins the day after the third “no-show,” and will continue even if the pass is upgraded to another pass during that time. A Magic Key holder who enters the designated park any time before closing on the day of the reservation is not considered a “no-show.” If the reservation is for both parks, only one park needs to be entered to avoid being a “no-show.” Magic Key holders who timely cancel a reservation are also not considered a “no-show.” Cancellation of a reservation must be done by 11:59 PM PT on the day before the reserved date. Rules and policies are subject to change without notice.

ϯ Magic Key holders must present their valid Magic Key pass prior to purchases to receive any applicable benefits or discounts. Further identification may be required. Benefits and discounts are valid only at select locations, are subject to restrictions and exclusions, and are determined solely by Disney at Disney owned and operated locations. Check third-party locations for details about their offered benefits and discounts, if any. Disney is not responsible or liable for benefits and discounts offered by any third parties. Please ask about any applicable discounts at a location prior to purchase. The benefits and discounts are nontransferable, subject to restrictions and change or cancellation without notice, and may not be combined with any other discount, offer or promotion. The benefits are for personal use only, and may not be used for commercial purposes or for the benefit of others including, without limitation, the purchase of merchandise with the intent to resell such merchandise or the sharing of benefits with persons who are not the Magic Key holder. See full Magic Key Terms and Conditions.

** Parking benefit is valid for parking, or for discounted parking, for one (1) standard vehicle only at pay-on-entry lots at the Disneyland Resort. Oversized vehicles, preferred parking spaces and valet services are not included in this parking benefit and will require an additional fee. Parking is not guaranteed, and is subject to capacity and applicable Pass blockout dates (i.e., a Pass is not valid for parking on a date for which such Pass is blocked out).
