Disney just released an amazing ticket deal, but there’s a catch!
California Adventure
There are a TON of reasons to begin planning your visit to Disneyland in 2026, like updates to rides and expansions to lands. But if you’ve been worried about the recent price increases that have hit Disney’s parks and hotels, there may be a solution that could help select California residents out!
Disneyland has just announced an exclusive ticket offer that could result in MASSIVE savings for you! With this new offer, you could save over 50% on a 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket to enjoy both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for just $83 per day (a $249 total). These visits can fall on three days starting January 1st through May 21st, 2026. Even better, you can also use these tickets on nonconsecutive days. But there’s a catch to this offer! You MUST be a California resident to take advantage.Â
Disney California Adventure
Visiting Disneyland during this time allows you to experience the 2026 Lunar New Year Celebration and experience all of the delicious flavors of the 2026 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. You’re also visiting just in time to join in the excitement of Disneyland’s 70th Celebration and all of its limited-time experiences and offerings.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Proof of California residency, including a valid government-issued photo ID, will be required for both purchase and admission, and residents can purchase up to 5 tickets per day with their valid ID. Tickets for this exclusive deal will go on sale beginning December 3rd, 2025, and will be valid for visits falling between January 1st through May 21st, 2026. This offer cannot be combined with any other offers or promotions.
Additionally, you will also need to make a theme park reservation for your visits, and reservations are subject to availability. It’s also worth mentioning that when purchasing these tickets, Lightning Lane Multi Pass can be added for an additional cost. It’s best to check for theme park reservation availability for your preferred dates before purchasing your tickets, as these are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Say cheese!

This is the FIRST TIME since 2002 that Disney is worried about EMPTY HOTEL ROOMS and Disney said exactly that at their meeting the other day. They announced (EXPECT EMPTY PARKS IN 2025) for a variety of reasons. As a result of this Disney is picking and choosing different one time offers for hotel stays in different STATES OR DISNEY PLUS SUBSCRIBERS OR DISNEY VISA CARD HOLDERS OR VETERANS AND OTHERS. Disney is doing this at the same time they are RAISING PRICES FOR THE PARKS AND LIGHTENING LANES. My family and millions of other families REMEMBER THE DISNEY WORLD OF 2019. FREE FAST PASS TO GO ON ALL RIDES, THE MAGICAL EXPRESS, DISABILITY ACCESS, MUCH LOWER PRICES FOR HOTELS (I PAID $485 INCLUDING TAXES FOR THE POLYNESIAN). Today the Polynesian is over $850 a night. MUCH LOWER PRICES FOR FOOD. In 2019 the Crystal Palace COST $50 a person and today over $75 per person.
WHY DISNEY?
IF YOU WANT TO FILL HOTEL ROOMS, GIVING US FREE WATER PARKS THE DAY OF ARRIVAL IS NOT THE ANSWER AND BY THE WAY THAT DOES COST YOU ANYTHING TO DO.
DISNEY BRING BACK THE FREE FAST PASS JUST LIKE BEFORE AND THE MAGICAL EXPRESS JUST LIKE BEFORE
THE CROWD SIZE IN THE PARKS WERE THE SAME IN 2019 AS THEY ARE TODAY, HOWEVER DISNEY WITH ALL OF YOUR CHANGES BETWEEN 2019 AND TODAY THE COST FOR A FAMILY DISNEY TRIP HAS TRIPPLED. All YOU HAVE TO DO DISNEY, IS GO BACK TO 2019. THATS NOT TO LONG AGO TO JUSTIFY YOUR TERRIBLE CHANGES.
I meant 2026. SORRY 😢
