Right here’s all the things it’s good to find out about these offers, together with legitimate go to dates & particulars, how a lot cash you’ll save, impacts on crowds, and our recommendation about making the most of these reductions.
For a restricted time, kids ages 3 to 9 can go to each Disneyland and Disney California Journey for $50 per little one with the acquisition of a particular 1-Day Park Hopper Ticket. For longer visits, you can too select 2-day and 3-day ticket choices, and even add-on Lightning Lane Multi-Go on to the tickets.
Select when to go to from Might 22 via September 7, 2026—topic to theme park reservation availability. These tickets at the moment are accessible for buy, and whereas you should buy instantly from Disneyland, this deal can also be accessible through Get Away As we speak with even better financial savings. At present, their costs are $47 to $49 per day relying on length, and they’re refundable in case one thing comes up.
This particular supply is legitimate for youngsters ages 3-9 solely. Tickets legitimate to be used starting Might 22, 2026, and multi-day tickets expire 13 days after the primary day of use or on September 7, 2026, whichever happens first. Tickets could also be used on nonconsecutive days, however be aware that they do have a fuse. Every day of use constitutes one full day of use. Might buy as much as 10 tickets per day.

Gross sales could also be paused every now and then or terminated at any time. Company below age 14 have to be accompanied by a visitor age 14 or older to enter the parks. To board an attraction, kids below age 7 have to be accompanied by an individual age 14 years or older.
Observe that, like different ticket offers, this Youngsters’ Summer season Ticket Supply makes use of a separate “pool” of park reservations, and people are sometimes extra restricted in availability than common tickets. Reservations could also be tough to get for any specific date, particularly because the ticket expiration date approaches. To make sure greatest availability, make reservations ASAP.
In every of the final two years, Disneyland has supplied a model of this deal. Beforehand, it was legitimate to be used proper now, with go to dates within the winter and early spring (January 7 via March 20 final yr). It overlapped with the annual Southern California Resident Ticket Deal, making it particularly engaging for locals.
This yr, the dates shift to summer time: Might 22 and September 7, 2026.
This is smart, as crowds have been decrease in the summertime after the winter and spring ticket offers ended final yr, regardless of the seventieth Anniversary beginning! Summer season has gotten progressively much less busy, making it a good time to go to–particularly since Anaheim climate is nothing like Orlando.
The opposite large distinction is that the 2026 Youngsters’ Summer season Ticket Particular Supply is identical value for Park Hoppers or base tickets. That means you’ll be able to improve to the Park Hopper possibility totally free, which was beforehand a surcharge final yr (and the yr earlier than). This makes the deal significantly better year-over-year, assuming you need to Park Hop. It’s truly a intelligent transfer on Disney’s half, since mother and father will nonetheless pay additional for Park Hopping privileges.
We’re large followers of Park Hopper tickets for one easy cause: Disneyland and Disney California Journey are actually lower than a soccer area aside. It’s straightforward to leap from one to the opposite, and we do on each single go to. There are a number of methods to leverage Park Hopping, from leisure to consuming to Lightning Lane maxing.
With that mentioned, when you’ve got young children who gained’t keep up late or aren’t involved about having probably the most environment friendly day potential, buying Park Hoppers might be a waste of your cash. There’s nobody measurement matches all reply. It’d come right down to the ratio of children vs. adults in your social gathering. When you have extra youngsters and fewer adults, the improve value is decrease for the reason that youngsters get the Park Hopper perk totally free.
Our evaluation of this low cost is that it’s a shockingly whole lot, amounting to a reduction of as a lot as $150 to $369 off multi-day tickets (relying upon length and the extras you buy, or don’t). That latter quantity shouldn’t be a typo–it can save you as a lot as $369 off a 3-day ticket.
This deal has persistently been the very best pricing on Disneyland tickets every of the final a number of years. And it’s even higher this yr because of the “free” Park Hopper improve. After all, it solely applies to kids’s tickets and is for the summer time, however nonetheless. It’s an distinctive deal if it really works for your loved ones. And it’s legitimate for the longest stretch of time when youngsters are out of faculty, so even out of state vacationers ought to be capable to extra simply plan across the deal in 2026.
We’d additionally add that there are dates initially and finish of this ticket deal date vary that rank extremely on our Least expensive Instances to Do Disneyland, which additionally accounts for motels and extra. So you possibly can do a cheap (by Disneyland requirements) journey throughout this promo interval in Summer season 2026!
If you happen to actually need to hack this deal, that 13-day “fuse” window must be adequate to expertise the top of Disneyland70, 2026 D23 Expo, and/or begin of Halloween. The identical common timeframe would additionally supply the bottom crowds of the yr–simply make sure you use your tickets a few weeks earlier than the September 7, 2026 finish date!
Talking of crowds, it’s truthfully laborious to say simply how dangerous they’ll be on account of this deal. Most likely not as dangerous because the final two years when this deal has coincided with winter and spring, which has grow to be more and more busy. That’s exactly why this deal is going on from Might to September and not being supplied from January via March.
Final yr, Might via September was much less busy than January via March. February and March have been the #2 and #1 worst months, respectively. January wasn’t as dangerous, however was nonetheless worse than Might via September. And be mindful, the Disneyland seventieth Anniversary began in Might!
It’s laborious to say whether or not this low cost will reverse these developments. Frankly, we doubt it. April was the third busiest month of final yr, and this low cost ended by then. It was crowded regardless of that as a consequence of Spring Break and Easter. And likewise, February and March have been busy due to Ski Week and Spring Break.
Nonetheless, we’re anticipating that Summer season 2026 shall be a lot busier year-over-year. Anecdotally, we noticed a noticeable improve in strollers and households across the parks in the course of the closing few weeks of the promotion in every of the final two years–many greater than regular. Saving $150 to $369 on every youngsters’ ticket is just too good of a deal to cross up for a lot of households.
With this deal shifting to Summer season 2026 when faculty is out of session, that may make this deal much more accessible to out of state vacationers. The extent to which that’ll occur is not possible to foretell at this level, however that’s one thing our 2026 Disneyland Crowd Calendars shall be up to date to take into accounts as soon as information begins to roll in.

I’m not going to fixate on these resort reductions, as a result of the vast majority of visitors–particularly deal hunters–aren’t going to have an excessive amount of curiosity in staying on-site at Disneyland. It’s essentially totally different than Walt Disney World, and the current lack of Early Entry makes it much more tough to justify the premium pricing (even at a reduction).
What I’ll say is that, if it’s a as soon as in a lifetime journey, big day or cash isn’t any object, we’d extremely advocate going with Disney’s Grand Californian Resort & Spa. It’s sometimes the most costly of the trio, but it surely’s additionally probably the most “value it” from our perspective.
The Grand Californian is a real luxurious resort and thematic gem–consider it as the very best components of Wilderness Lodge and Grand Floridian, mixed in a single resort. It’s far and away our #1 resort at DLR, and if cash have been no object, it’s the place we’d all the time keep at Disneyland.
If you happen to’re going to e book a Disney-owned resort, we advocate requesting a fee-free Disneyland trip value quote from Be Our Visitor Holidays.

We don’t have a GCH vs. PPH comparability (but), however you’ll be able to most likely surmise the way it’d play out primarily based on these head-to-heads.
There are additionally a ton of nice off-site motels which can be inside strolling distance to the parks and value a lot much less cash than the three Motels of Disneyland Resort.
