2. Bundle Your Discount Disneyland Tickets with Your Hotel

You can also book entire vacation packages through Get Away Todaythat include your hotel stay. There are great savings in this option because Get Away Today secures exclusive deals for our readers such as free nights with certain length of stays, free perks at certain hotels like free breakfast or parking, and discount nights!

One of my favorite things about Get Away Today is the layaway option. With just $175 down, you can put your entire vacation on layaway including your discount Disneyland ticket and hotel! This is such a great way to make a Disneyland vacation accessible for families. The layaway plan does include a $75 non-refundable fee but I have found it is totally worth it so I can have the flexibility to make payments on my vacation.

You also get Get Away Today’s amazing customer service on hand during your vacation. I always have such wonderful experiences with their customer service, they are always on call if you have any issues on your vacation. Plus, since their representatives visit Southern California at least once a year they are familiar with the hotels and the park to answer all of your questions. My first time taking a Disneyland vacation as an adult I used them and I probably called over 20 times asking questions- they were so helpful and not all exhausted by all my questions.

I’ve always had positive experiences with the vacation packages through Get Away Today. You can read my Howard Johnson Anaheim Hotel review here and the Disneyland Clarion Anaheim hotel here when I used Get Away Today. When I stayed at the Howard Johnson, we got one night free which saved money since that hotel is more of a ‘mid-range’ priced hotel. My favorite lately has been the Clarion though, largely due to the savings I get from booking through Get Away Today. We always get one or two nights free along with free breakfast included and their breakfast buffet is great! It’s those perks that really make this a great option for families. And the fact that they offer layaway plans is amazing and makes the dream of a Disneyland vacation accessible for families. I was able to save up money for over a year when we took our first family vacation and having that flexibility made it all possible.

4. Disneyland Annual Passes

Even if you don’t live in Southern California, purchasing an annual pass might be a good idea if you plan on visiting Disneyland for more than seven days in one year. You will save money on your tickets and annual passes also provide discounts on food and merchandise. The amount of discount depends on the level of pass you purchase but even the cheapest passes give you a 10% discount. Some annual passes include complimentary parking at the Mickey and Friends parking lot. So when considering if you should purchase an annual pass, factor in the savings for food, merchandise, and parking to make your decision.

You can even just purchase on annual pass for one person in your party so that way the entire group can save money on dining and merchandise. If you consider the amount you can spend on dining on a Disneyland vacation, the dining discount from having one pass comes in handy.

The only way to get a slight discount on a Disneyland Annual Pass is through purchasing a discount ticket and upgrading this to an Annual Pass, though recent reports state that this 6 step process may no longer work.

Here are all the Disneyland annual pass options:

Signature Plus Disneyland Annual Pass

This is the top tier pass with no blackout dates with discounts of 15% off at most of the restaurants and 20% off most of the merchandise found in the parks and Downtown Disney. This annual pass also includes complimentary parking, unlimited PhotoPass downloads, and unlimited use of the Disneyland MaxPass service.

This is the top tier pass and costs $1399 per person.

Signature Disneyland Annual Pass

This annual pass includes admission into the parks most of the days of the year except for the busy blackout days which usually fall around some summer days and Christmas/New Years. This pass includes discounts of 15% off at most dining locations, 20% off most merchandise, complimentary parking, and Disney PhotoPass downloads.

This pass costs $1149 per person.

Deluxe Disneyland Annual Pass

This pass is good for 315 days in the year- almost every holiday and Saturdays are blocked off. This varies though so make sure you check the blackout calendar. This pass includes dining and merchandise discounts of 10%.

This pass costs $799 per person.

Southern California Select Disneyland Annual Pass

Only Southern California residents can get this pass and it requires a ID to purchase it. This Annual Pass has the most blackout dates with every Saturday and Sunday blocked, all of July, most of August, and December.

This pass costs $369 per person and requires a California state ID to purchase.

Disneyland Annual Pass Blackout Dates

The amount of blackout dates you experience will depend on the tier of the annual pass you select. The most expensive pass includes less or no blackout dates while the cheapest includes the most blackout dates. Keep in mind that if you purchase the annual pass on a day it would have been blocked out- you can still use it that day anyways. This is a good move by Disney because they would never want to sell you an annual pass and then not let you use it that same day.

See the calendar for blackout dates for Disneyland annual passholders to make sure that you don’t visit on a day that you may be blocked out.

Discount Disneyland Ticket Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

Before you purchase your tickets, you will need to make some initial decisions.

How many days should I spend at Disneyland? 

We recommend three days to see everything at both Disneyland Park and it’s adjacent theme park Disney California Adventure. It is possible to experience the high level highlights of both parks in one day if you must, but it won’t be enough time to see everything you want. Often guests underestimate Disneyland since it’s smaller than Walt Disney World but it actually has more rides than all four Walt Disney World theme parks combined!

Should you get a Disneyland Park Hopper ticket or One-Park Per Day ticket?

Having a park hopper ticket can be extremely convenient because it allows you access to both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in one day. If you only have one or two days to spend at Disneyland, I highly recommend going with this Disneyland ticket option so you can maximize your time. A One-Park Per Day Disneyland ticket can work fine if you have three or more days to spend at Disneyland- this ticket will not let you go between parks in one day but if you have more flexibility of time to stay at Disneyland you can save some money with this option.

What age is free at Disneyland?

Children aged two and under get free Disneyland tickets. Children can get the child’s price for Disneyland tickets if they are between ages 3-9. Everyone 10 years old and up require an adult priced Disneyland ticket.

What are the early entry benefits of Disneyland three day and longer tickets?

Magic Morning is a benefit of tickets that are three days or longer for guests to use that allows guests into the park one hour before official Disneyland park opening on select days once during their visit. Fantasyland and Tomorrowland are open during this time and can be a great way to beat the lines for popular rides in those areas. This shouldn’t be confused with Extra Magic Hour that is offered to all Disneyland Resort Hotel guests on each day of their stay.

And one final important note on Disneyland discount tickets…

Beware of extremely cheap Disneyland tickets!

Be especially careful to never buy cheap Disneyland tickets from an online source that is not affiliated with Disney. Never buy tickets from eBay or Craigslist- they are filled with scam/fake tickets. Some people also attempt to sell their tickets after they’ve already used some of the days if they purchased multi-day tickets. But Disneyland already has a system in place to prevent people from sharing tickets. The instant you use your ticket on the first day, the cast member will take your photo, and that will be associated with your ticket. Check out this full guide to avoiding scams on discount Disneyland tickets.
