How to get cheap tickets to Disney Land, CA and best time to go?

Question

I have lived in CA 2 years now and I have done nothin! I want to go to Disney, but my husband and I both work low paying jobs while we go to school. Any ideas on how to score some cheap ones? And what time of year is the best time to go/ worst time to go? Thank you so much!!

Answer 1

well it depends if you live in southern california like LA or San Diego then they have an offer where you buy a ticket to california adventure and you get a ticket to disney land for free. you do not have to use the tickets the next day you can use them anytime in the next three months. and any one can use the other ticket not only you so you can buy the 2 for 1 deal and give the other ticket to someone else and split the price so you pay 25 instead of 50. or try buying them online there usually cheaper

Answer 2

Cheap Tickets and Disneyland don't usually go together.  Your best bet is going on right now through May 22nd.  This is the 2fer Offer for Southern California Residents.  You purchase a 2fer ticket for the regular price of a 1 Day Park Ticket($66).  You then can go to one of the parks on the first day, and then return within 30 days to the other park for free.  Basically getting 2 Days for $33 each.  This offer usually comes up once a year, so after May 22nd it probably won't be back until early 2009.

The only other way would be is if you(or someone you know) work in a big corporation.  They sometimes have discounts, but usually are no more than a few dollars off of the regular price.

You do want to stay away from places like EBay or Craigslist and people selling tickets on there.   These tickets are usually partially used tickets where they are selling unused days for a cheaper price.  Not that you will have a problem, but you also won't know if you have a valid ticket until you try and use it.  If you find out the ticket is no good at Disneyland you are out of luck.  Because they have a policy(and it is stated on the tickets) that they are Non-Transferable.

Answer 3

Be careful of buying tickets second hand!!!  Many people buy tickets that allow for multiple days of park access and for whatever reason don't use them up completely.  They then will sell these tickets (usually on Craigslist or eBay).  This used to be a great way to go on the cheap, but Disney now scans your finger at the entrance gate and it has to match the finger that first used the ticket.  It's best to look for specials on their website or from a travel agent, but the reality is that these prices don't really fluctuate much, they just seem to drift higher every year.  Also, state residents get a significant discount to what non-residents pay.

***Now until MAY 22nd 2008 they are advertising a $66/ticket for 2 day park access - 1 day in Disneyland and 1 day in California Adventure - ONLY AVAILABLE TO SO. CAL RESIDENTS.  Check it out:

It’s not easy to get discount Disneyland tickets. The prices are usually pretty set. However, there are special deals and promotions from time to time so if you can plan your trip around those, you can save some money.

Answer 5

disneyland isnt that expensive BUT now is not the time to go. it is going to be soooo hot crowded. i think the best time to go is fall or winter. but you wanna make sure the rides you want to go on are going to be open before you pick a date.

Answer 6

If you live in the area I suggest you just buy a season pass there not much more then the ticket.
