We frugal frogs are all about saving money on vacation and theme park days. There is a little secret that you might want to know when planning a Disneyland visit: Disneyland has tiered pricing. There are seven pricing tiers for 1-Day tickets that vary per day, and Disneyland has kept the very lowest Tier 0 price per day steady at $104 ($98 for a child) since 2019. This just might motivate you to take the day off work and pull the kids from school to save hundreds of dollars on your Disneyland trip. There are special promo tickets in the winter and spring for visitors who need to visit on a holiday, break or weekend. We even offer savings tips for people who have to visit during peak times! There is a hoppin' deal on Kids Tickets in summer 2026. Let's go over the cheapest days to visit Disneyland.

Things to Know About the Cheapest Days to Visit Disneyland
There are a few things to consider when buying tickets on the cheapest days to visit Disneyland:
- Park hours may be shorter. Especially watch out for 8 p.m. park closures for separately ticketed Disneyland After Dark events in winter and spring, and 6 p.m. closures at Disney California Adventure for Oogie Boogie Bash on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights in the late summer through Halloween. In fall and leading up to Holiday Time, the parks may close an hour or two earlier than normal.
- Entertainment may be more limited. That means projection shows instead of fireworks. Nighttime entertainment may be limited or on hiatus, as well.
- Check the Disneyland entertainment schedule and park hours starting six weeks before you visit.
- There may be ride refurbishments or park construction during the "off season."
- These cheapest days to visit Disneyland may be crowded and sell out early. A lot of people take advantage of these hoppin' deals.
- Sometimes the prices change on dates. We've seen it hoppen a few times!
On a positive note, here are the highlights of heading into Disneyland on the cheapest days:
- Days that close early for special events may be especially uncrowded, as people avoid reserving the park that hosts the event that night.
- Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass are less expensive than peak days.
- Park hopping is less expensive on lower tier days than higher tier days. (But we tend to avoid park hopping when trying to stay on budget.)
- If you are there for the rides, vibes and snacks, you'll toadally get your money's worth.
- Many of the cheapest times to visit fall during some of the best Disneyland events each season, so you don't miss out on the fun.
- You can experience much of the Disneyland 70th in early 2026.
California Resident Tickets (January to May)
If you live in California, you have access to a great deal for almost the first five months of the year every year. The California resident ticket deal varies every year, but here were the details for 2026 (hop back in late November or early December for next year's details):
- 3-Day Park Hopper ticket for as little as $80 per person, per day, (total price of $241.50 through Undercover Tourist)
- Can be used 3 separate days Jan. 1 through May 21, 2026.
- You can add Lightning Lane Multi Pass (comes to $112 per day, or $336.50 total).
- Undercover Tourist sells these ticket for less than Disney! Plus, every Undercover Tourist Disneyland ticket comes with FREE $20 Dining Dollars promo codes.
- No blockout dates. You can visit weekend and holidays.
- Tickets went on sale Dec. 3, 2025 (for even less but prices went up in January).
- Tickets go off sale several weeks before expiration.
- Tickets can increase in price. The best time to buy is when. they first go on sale.
- You need to reserve each visit and show California state ID upon first entry. Residents cannot buy for out-of-state friends and family. Kids under 18 do not need to show ID.
- Book theme park reservations early, as these tickets have a much more limited pool of availability. Especially book the last month of the promotion as early as possible. Everyone is trying to use up their remaining days, so reservations fill up fast in May! Hotel reservations can open up more availability.
- You can experience all the Disneyland 70th entertainment as well as popular seasonal events such as Lunar New Year, Food and Wine Festival and Season of the Force! If you visit Jan. 1 to 7, 2026, you can even enjoy the end of Holiday Time.
Promotional Disneyland Tickets
Keep your eye out for other promotional tickets. Undercover Tourist offers Black Friday deals and summer ticket deals. In winter and spring 2026, the California resident ticket can be used on three separate visits or consecutively. Disneyland offers a special Kids Park Hopper Ticket in summer 2026 with visits as low as $48 per day when you purchase through Undercover Tourist. That can affect the cheapest days to visit Disneyland for your family if you hoppen to be buying for several tadpoles. You can use the May 22 through Sept. 7, 2026. Multi-day tickets must be used within 13 days of first visit.
Multi-Day Tickets to Save Even at Peak Times
Let's say you can't take off work and school to go to Disneyland. You can only visit during a school break, and none of the promotions are available when you want to go. We understand! There is still a way to save on your Disneyland tickets. Multi-day Disneyland tickets cost the same no matter when you use them. You want to go on peak days between Christmas and New Year's? Instead of paying $224 per single day, get a 3-day discount ticket from Undercover Tourist for $386.89 (for limited time, and prices subject to change) — that comes to $129 per day.
Things to know about multi-day tickets:
- Not subject to tiers
- Still need to reserve each day
- No blockout dates; can visit any day with reservation
- Easier to change plans, because you can choose any day over the next couple years to switch your reservations
- Costs less per day to add park hopping to a multi-day ticket
- Lock in the lowest price for Lightning Lane Multi Pass
