How much are Disneyland tickets?
A 1-day, 1-park Disneyland ticket ranges from about $104 on the cheapest days (Tier 0) up to roughly $224 on the busiest days (Tier 6) in 2026. Multi-day tickets lower the per-day cost, often to around $95 to $115 per day.

How 1-day tiered pricing works
Disneyland uses demand-based tiered pricing for single-day tickets, with seven tiers labeled Tier 0 through Tier 6. In 2026, the lowest Tier 0 price is about $104 for an adult (around $98 for a child age 3 to 9), and it usually falls on quieter mid-week days in late August, September, January, and February.
Prices climb with demand. Tiers 1 through 3 run roughly $119 to $154, while Tiers 4 through 6 cover the busiest weekends, major holidays, and school breaks, topping out around $224 for a Tier 6 adult ticket. The exact price depends entirely on the calendar date you choose.
Multi-day tickets and Park Hopper
If you are staying more than a day, multi-day tickets use flat pricing rather than tiers and bring the per-day cost down. A 5-day ticket works out to roughly $95 per day, which can be cheaper than even a Tier 0 single-day ticket. New for 2026, the Explore Key is a pre-paid 3-day ticket usable across a 60-day window, pricing out to about $115 per day.
The Park Hopper option lets you move between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure on the same day and costs about $65 to $70 extra. Children ages 3 to 9 are priced slightly lower than adults, and kids under 3 are free, which can meaningfully reduce a family's total.
How to pay less
The single biggest way to control cost is the date you pick. Visiting on a low-tier weekday instead of a holiday weekend can save $100 or more per ticket. Disney's date-based calendar shows the tier for each day when you book, so flexible travelers can target the cheapest dates.
Multi-day tickets, the Explore Key, and skipping the Park Hopper add-on all lower the effective cost. Authorized resellers and occasional promotions (such as Southern California resident or kids' deals) can also trim the price, but always book through Disney or a Disney-authorized seller.
