Big news is swirling around Disneyland Resort as recent price hikes for tickets and Lightning Lane, along with the resumption of Magic Key sales, take center stage.
The cost of a Disneyland ticket has now surpassed the $200 mark, a first for the iconic park. According to the Orange County Register, most tickets saw an average price increase of 6% starting October 9th. Notably, the highest-priced one-day, one-park ticket went up from $194 to $206. Despite the hikes, the lowest-priced one-day, one-park ticket remains at $104, unchanged since 2019. Here’s the updated tiered pricing for one-day, one-park tickets:
– Tier 0: $104
– Tier 1: $126
– Tier 2: $142
– Tier 3: $164
– Tier 4: $180
– Tier 5: $196
– Tier 6: $206
Meanwhile, Park Hopper tickets also saw price increases, with the highest-priced one-day Park Hopper now at $271, up from $259. Multi-day tickets didn’t escape the price surge either, with a two-day, one-park ticket rising to $330, and a three-day, one-park ticket climbing to $415.
The pricing news doesn’t end there. The Magic Key annual passes are set to be back on sale later this year, but with a price increase ranging from 6% to 20%, depending on the pass. For instance, the Imagine Key, exclusively for Southern California residents, now costs $599, a 20% increase. Magic Key prices have fluctuated since their introduction in 2021, so this latest change is something to keep an eye on.
For those who prefer to skip the standby lines, Lightning Lane prices have climbed as well, with pre-arrival purchases of Lightning Lane Multi Pass now costing $32, up by 7%. However, Magic Key holders will enjoy a 50% discount on Lightning Lane Multi Passes from January 6th to 31st.
Despite these increases, Disneyland is offering a special $50 ticket for kids and discounts on resort hotels in early 2025. What are your thoughts on these price hikes? Will they affect your plans to visit the Happiest Place on Earth? Share your opinions in the comments below!
