Planning a Disneyland adventure for your family without breaking the bank? You’re in luck! We’ve compiled some top tips to help a family of four enjoy Disneyland for around $300—and discovered the 15 least expensive days to visit the park in 2024.
Start by choosing the right time to visit. According to park ticket data, there are certain days when Disneyland tickets are much more affordable. In the slower seasons, like late January or early February, ticket prices drop significantly. Mark your calendars for these value dates if you’re looking to save.
Food and souvenirs can quickly eat into your budget, but with clever planning, you can keep costs down. Consider bringing in your favorite snacks and sandwiches. While Disneyland allows outside food, always check current policies before packing. For meals inside the park, opt for shared dishes or kid’s meals, which are often large enough for adults too.
Regarding attractions, make full use of Disneyland’s free FastPass system to maximize your ride time and avoid long queues. Downloading the Disneyland app is also a smart move—it helps keep track of ride times and character meet-and-greet schedules, ensuring you won’t miss must-see events.
For a sprinkle of extra magic, don’t forget to capture free souvenirs. Ask any Disneyland photographer for a PhotoPass card—your photos can be viewed for free, and only purchased if you absolutely love them. Plus, cast members are happy to snap pictures with your own camera.
