Are there any discounts on tickets?
Monday, January 19, 2009 13:31Deal Alert: For a limited time Disneyland is offering a special ticket discount when you purchase hotel stay through their website. See our Hot Deals page for more information.
Disneyland doesn’t do much in the way of ticket discounts as they get ample business without them. Still there are a few places where you can find deals.
If you’re going to be staying in the area Disney will occasionally offer discounts on tickets with the purchase of a vacation package which also includes hotel. In a good offer this could be as low as $68 a day per person for the off season but there’s often a catch… you generally get just one room with rates based on 4-person occupancy so unless you have a small group this may not do you much good. That said there are still times when tickets are discounts for singles and couples who purchase a hotel stay through Disney. While most other hotels in the area sell tickets few offer discounts but look around popular travel sites like Orbitz and Travelocity as deals do come up from time to time.
In the City Pass Deluxe (sold at Costco in California) offers access to several Southern California attractions including Disneyland. While the price of the package would be much more than just a Disneyland park hopper that you get, it lets you in to other attractions and can be a great deal for anyone trying to do the “SoCal experience” rather than just visit the park.
Southern California Costco’s almost always carry a 4-day play pack which entitles the purchaser to visit one park 3 or 4 times. The tickets are bound to different days so one pack wouldn’t get you and your significant other into the parks for 2 days each but if you both had your own pack you could go to each park for 4 days over the course of a year.
Some colleges also sell discounted tickets although those seem to be less available than in past years.
In the 2008 holiday season Costco also started selling Disneyland passes in select markets at normal price but with a $50 Disney gift card as an added bonus. While this was a limited time offer check Costco.com to see if they have anything similar out when you’re ready to visit.
