Disneyland California Resident Ticket Deal for 2026: How We’re Taking Advantage of It

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to plan a Disneyland trip in 2026, this is it!

Disneyland Resort just announced a special California Resident 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket Deal, and it’s one of the best values we’ve seen in years for locals looking to experience the magic again (or for families like ours who never get tired of a day at the parks).

When & How It Works

Starting December 3, 2025, California residents can purchase a special 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket valid for visits between January 1 and May 21, 2026 (subject to park reservation availability). You can use the three days all at once for an extended Disney weekend or spread them out over a few months, perfect for squeezing in a little extra Disney magic throughout spring.

  • On sale starting: December 3, 2025

  • Valid for visits: January 1 through May 21, 2026

To take advantage, you’ll need to prove your California residency (valid ID, eligible ZIP code, etc.).

Pricing

For regular ticket prices, with the recent increase, you would be spending at least $500+ for the same exact tickets:

Typical Pricing for a 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket: Ages 10+ for $535 and Ages 3–9 for $510. The special offer price is just $249 (or $83/day) for this special limited- time offer.

How We Plan to Use It

We love deals like this because they make it easier to enjoy multiple Disneyland days without breaking the bank. It’s also a great way to make the most of the parks without committing to a full annual pass (especially with kids’ sports, school breaks, and our busy travel schedule)

We’ll be grabbing these tickets as soon as they go on sale in December and we’ll share more tips (plus itineraries and hotel reviews) once we lock in our 2026 Disneyland weekends.
