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...

California Adventure Park Overview

While many fear change, the mantra of California Adventure would have to be, " Change is Good." Since opening in Februrary 2001, California Adventure has seen more change than a toddler's mood before bedtime. In fact, at least five opening day attractions, along with the gaudy billboard style scenery, were given the flick within the first 10 years. This is by no means a bad situation, as what we are left with is a park, now worthy of the Disney name. An example of the terribly tacky Calfornia Adventure that we are glad to see the back of. Situated 100 metres across the concourse from Disneyland, California Adventure, while smaller, still has plenty to offer, especially for guests over 12. It consists of seven themed areas that even now, are undergoing change. Layout of the predominantly beautified California Adventure Buena Vista Street is the "Main Street USA" of California Adventure. Upon entering this park you are greeted by beautiful 1920s style...

In Adventureland you will find a total of 4 attractions: The Tikki Room, The Jungle Cruise, The Indiana Jones Adventure and Tarzan's Tree-house.  The Enchanted Tiki Room Entrance to the Tiki Room.
