Ticket prices for Disneyland and Disney California Adventure increased an average of 6% on Wednesday, Oct. 9 with the cheapest Magic Key annual pass climbing by 20%.

The Disneyland resort provides a wide variety of ticket, dining and hotel options along with promotional offers throughout the year to help visitors save money, according to Disneyland officials.
The highest-priced one park, one day ticket for Disneyland and Disney California Adventure broke through the $200 barrier for the first time in the park’s 69-year history. A decade ago, a one-park, one- day ticket to Disneyland cost $96 in 2014 before Disneyland moved to a tiered-pricing system.
The most expensive tickets in Disneyland’s seven-tier pricing system rose from $194 to $206 for one-day single park admission and from $259 to $271 for a one-day parkhopper.
The lowest-priced one-day, one-park ticket has remained unchanged at $104 since 2019. The cheapest one-day parkhopper ticket also remains the same at $169.
Single-day, single park ticket prices increased 0% to 6.5%: Tier 0 ($104), Tier 1 ($126), Tier 2 ($142), Tier 3 ($164), Tier 4 ($180), Tier 5 ($196) and Tier 6 ($206).
Multiday tickets saw similar hikes. Two-day, one-park tickets rose to $330 (from $310) while three-day tickets now cost $415 for single park access (up from $390).
Disneyland Magic Key annual pass prices increased from 6% to 20%.
- Inspire pass: $1,749, up 6%
- Believe pass: $1,374, up 10%
- Enchant pass: $974, up 14.7%
- Imagine pass (Southern California residents only): $599, up 20%
Daily theme park parking rates remained unchanged at $35.
The cost of the Lightning Lane Multipass line-cutting service rose 7% to $32 on pre-arrival purchases. Prices will vary for purchases made at the parks.
With the latest increases, Disneyland continues to use ticket pricing to manage attendance and spread visits from peak periods to slower times of the year.
Starting in 2016, Disneyland switched to a demand-based pricing system with tickets divided into tiers. The number of tiers has increased from three in 2016 ($95 to $119) to five in 2020 ($104 to $154), six in 2021 ($104 to $164) and seven in 2022 ($104 to $179).
Disney ticket price increases typically have a ripple effect, with Universal Studios Hollywood, SeaWorld San Diego and Knott’s Berry Farm raising admissions soon after to keep pace with the industry leader.
Disneyland softened the blow of the latest price increase with a new discount promotion offering tickets as low as $50 for kids ages 3 to 9 for one-day, one-park visits on Jan. 7 through March 20.
