If you’ve been putting off a Disneyland trip because of sky-high ticket prices, now’s your chance to finally book it. The Anaheim theme park just announced a jaw-dropping ticket deal that slashes prices by half — but there’s a pretty big catch.
Starting December 3, California residents can snag three-day park hopper tickets for just $249. That’s a steal considering regular pricing: a single park hopper ticket on a busy day costs $314, while even the cheapest tier runs $174. Do the math, and you’re looking at savings of over $200 compared to buying three separate tickets.
The deal gets even better when you compare it to standard three-day passes, which typically cost $535 and must be used within a two-week window. With this California resident offer, you can spread out your visits anytime between January 1 and May 21, 2026 — perfect for locals who want to maximize their magic without the pressure of back-to-back park days.
Before you get too excited, know that Disney isn’t playing around with the residency requirement. You’ll need to show proof you actually live in California when you use your ticket for the first time, so don’t try to sweet-talk your way in with an out-of-state ID.

Not a California resident? There’s still hope. Starting January 21, 2026, Disneyland will launch its Kids’ Summer Ticket Offer — and this one’s open to every state. Children ages 3 to 9 can visit the parks for just $50 with a one-day park hopper ticket, valid from May 22 through September 7, 2026. Kids under 3 still get in free.
The timing is good, too. Disneyland just released its full 2026 calendar packed with exciting events. Bluey fans, mark your calendars: the beloved Australian pup makes her in-park debut on March 22. Plus, all the annual favorites are returning, including Lunar New Year celebrations (January 23-February 22), the Food & Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure (March 6-April 27), Halloween Time (August 21-October 31), and the holiday season kicking off November 18.
Whether you’re a local looking to squeeze in some midweek magic or a family planning a summer vacation, these deals make the “happiest place on earth” a bit more affordable. Just don’t wait too long — ticket deals this good rarely stick around forever.
