Disneyland Discount Tickets for 2026
How can I get cheaper Disneyland tickets?
You’re not alone in asking this question (I often ask it myself!), and I have the answer for you.
Pick a general travel timeframe that works with your vacation schedule and keep an eye out for sales. Keep in mind weekends, holidays, and dates that line up with us school holidays will be least likely to have huge sales.
Before we got season passes, we waited for “off-season” opportunities and discounted bundle deals. As a Magic Key Holder, I still look for and buy discount Disneyland tickets for family and friends joining us at the theme parks (Plus my family travel community loves to know about good Disney discounts!).
Sometimes there are epic deals, sometimes you’re saving a few dollars per ticket.
I’ve rounded up the current and expected discounts from my contacts at Get Away Today and personal research.
Disneyland Discount Tickets for 2026: Current and Expected Deals
Travel between 1/1/2026-5/21/2026
California Residents, this is your time to go to Disneyland Resort!!!
Get Away today has a 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket for $204 per person, cheaper than the same sale on Disney’s website for $249.
For comparison, the typical pricing for a 3-day park hopper ticket without any resident discount is $535.
As a California resident, you can get an extra $20 off your Disneyland Resort 3-day park hopper ticket with a hotel package through Get Away Today (this deal won’t last long!)
Select Good Neighbor Hotels are having a 4th-night free sale, so you can book 4-nights for the price of 3-nights with a $184 per person Park Hopper ticket.
Not a California Resident? Get Away Today still has Adults at Kids prices for purchase through 12/17/2025, valid for travel dates through 2027.

Nothing has been released for this time frame yet, but I’ll update you as soon as there’s something!
Disney doesn’t usually post their sales too far in advance, but historically they have increased their ticket prices in October and offered a small discount for select November/December tickets.
When to Buy Disneyland Discounted Tickets
Disneyland discounts are seasonal and unpredictable, but patterns do exist.
Historically, discounts are most likely:
- January through early May
- Late August through September
- Occasionally November and early December
Disney often raises ticket prices in October, sometimes followed by small holiday promotions.
Where to Find Disneyland Discounts
Popular Disneyland Resort discounts include adults at kids prices, kids $50 tickets, and California Resident sales.
Where do you find them? Through Disney and approved third party vendors. I prefer Get Away Today since I have used them myself, but AAA, Undercover Tourist, and even Costco rotate through great deals.
Seriously, around fall of 2025, Costco came out with a 3-day park hopper that came with Lightning Lane and a per person food voucher!
The best part was the 3 days didn’t have to be used within 13 days of the first visit. You had through mid-December 2025 to use all 3 days. We’ll see if they release that deal again next year…

Or you can always use a Disney travel agent who will keep an eye on deals for you. Travel Agents usually do not charge you for their services, they receive a commission from the businesses they book with (or the parent agency they book through) at no extra charge to your bottom line.
I highly recommend Kayla from Travelling Red Balloon. We used her for our Walt Disney World trip, but she also plans Disneyland, cruises, and all inclusive resorts.
Ticket Scam Warning
If a ticket price looks dramatically cheaper than Disney’s pricing and isn’t sold through an authorized vendor, it’s almost always a scam. Never buy tickets through resale marketplaces, social media groups, or classified ads.
Social Media Giveaways are a great way for Creators to give back to their communities (I give some Disneyland tickets away usually in December every year!), just be cautious of what personal info you are giving out.
No Giveaways will ask for money, social, or credit info. If you are notified you won, make sure it’s the actual account reaching out to you and not a fake account. These Giveways are not run by or affiliated with Disney or the platforms they are run on, so you participate at your own risk.
