Disneyland raised prices nearly across the board effective today, Oct. 11, for every type of ticket except the most basic day pass, which will remain $104 per day. The highest daily admission price, usually charged on the busiest days, increased 8.4%, from $179 to $194, for a one-park, one-day pass.
Prices also went up for Magic Key annual passes, parking and Genie+ cut-the-line benefits.
“We are constantly adding new, innovative attractions and entertainment to our parks and, with our broad array of pricing options, the value of a theme park visit is reflected in the unique experiences that only Disney can offer,” Disney wrote in a published statement about the increases.
The Disneyland Resort typically hikes its prices about once per year. Park-goers who are willing to pay the increases tend to hope that the higher cost will reduce overcrowding.
“Going up?” Disneyland expert Dusty Sage, who runs the popular MiceChat blog, said. “While many ticket tiers are going up as much as 16%, the lowest cost $104 one-day/one-park base ticket remains the same as it has been since 2019, and with more dates at that lower price.”
Sage added that “Disney has become very clever about taking the sting out of price increases. This year’s round of ticket inflation is tempered by a new $50 child’s ticket offer.”
The Anaheim resort officials recently unveiled a discounted child’s ticket offer for kids ages 3-9. It’s only good for visits between Jan. 8 and March 10, 2024. Starting at $50, discounted tickets can be purchased beginning Oct. 24.
