Getting There: 5. Disneyland Ticketing

Flights? Check! Hotel? Check! Shuttle? Check! Disneyland Tickets? Read on!

Disney provides many ticketing options to suit most travellers. It is structured like most theme parks throughout the world, in that the longer you stay the cheaper a day at the parks becomes.

If you want to buy cheaper tickets on special elswhere feel free but I will be deaing with official Disneyland website, as prices are fixed anyway and you are guaranteed legitimacy.

Here is the link: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/tickets/

No matter how many days you are going for, with each ticket you have the option of doing one park (Disneyland or California Adventure) or buying a park hopper add on. This extra add on allows you to walk between both parks for a flat $US45, over the course of your stay (advisable). You can also add on a Max Pass for US$10 a day but this will be discussed in a later post.

Below is a list of each of the ticketing options for ages 10+. For kids between 3 and 9, minus $12 from adult tickets.

1 Day:

2 Days:

3 Days:


4 Days:

5 Days: 

I know what you're thinking! "$US350 per person, for 5 days? What a rip!" Yes it is expensive, especially if you have a larger family. But let's put all of this into perspective.

Let's take the 5 day park hopper pass, which is the most expensive, at $US350. If you divide that by 5, you're paying US$70 per day. That's $95 less than a one day park hopper! Now because there a two parks, divide that number by two and we have $35 per park per day! 

From this exquisitely exected Grade 3 mathematics, one conclusion can be drawn. Where possible avoid one day trips! Best value can be found in the 3-5 Day tickets.

Aside from price differences you'll also notice in the above images that the 3-5 day passes also include one Magic Morning pass, with which you can enter the park an hour before the general public. More information about Magic Mornings can be found in the link provided already.

Don't forget that if you are staying at Disneyland Hotels, your tickets are included but you will need to upgrade to a park hopper if you would like to do two parks in one day.

Now that just about rounds up the getting there section of the blog! Don't forget your passports and plane tickets and get excited!

Disneyland Park Overview

"Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world." - Walt Disney This has always been the case for Disneyland. Attractions and rides have come and gone since the 1955 opening yet the heritage and basic layout have (aside from expansion) always been preserved.  Disneyland 1955: Sourced from http://www.justdisney.com/disneyland/disneyland_photo_pages/aerial/aerial.html Currently, Disneyland consists of 8 major lands or themed areas. The round about looking area at the centre of the park (shown in both maps) is called The Hub; tying all areas together like the points of a compass. I will go through these lands briefly so you have an idea of what each area has to offer. Main Street USA is the first area you enter as you pass under the train station, into "The world of Yesterday, Tomorrow and Fantasy." It pays homage to Walt's Hometown of Marceline Missouri in 1910 and is prob...

Travel Tips: 3. Rider Switch and Beating the System

If Fastpass is your golden ticket then the Rider Switch program is Scrooge McDuck's vault. (Well, for parents and caregivers anyway.) In this post I will not only tell you all about the Rider Switch but also how to utilise it, along with Fastpass, to beat the system. What is Rider Switch? Rider Switch is a system for parents and caregivers with children who do not meet ride requirements or are not willing to go on certain attractions. It allows one parent to line up while the other waits outside of the attraction with the kids. At the end of the ride the parents swap, allowing the second to skip the line like a Fastpass. Not all attractions offer this but all the ones you'll want to use this for, should. How it Works: This is the simple part. Step 1: See the ride attendant and check to make sure that Rider Switch is available. You can see the full list of Rider Switch enabled attractions  here. Step 2: Divide your party into two groups; riders and non riders. Ride...
