Disneyland Tickets - Buying Tips and Prices

By Betsy Malloy, About.com

Disneyland Resort includes both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure. The information below applies to Disneyland tickets for both parks.

What You Need to Know About Disneyland Tickets

  • Children under 3 get in free, and anyone over 10 years old pays adult admission for Disneyland tickets.

  • The lowest-priced, single-day Disneyland tickets are good for only one park. In other words, you can't visit Disneyland in the morning and Disney's California Adventure in the afternoon of the same day.

  • Multi-day Disneyland tickets and one-day Hoppers allow you to visit both parks on the same day. Multi-day Disneyland tickets expire 13 days after the first use, no matter how many days you buy.

  • You can buy Disneyland tickets direct from Disney and have them delivered to your home You'll pay a shipping fee that varies depending on your location and lead time. These tickets cannot be replaced if they're lost, even if you have a copy. Order at least 8 days before you leave home, or 17 days in advance to get the lowest shipping rate. Pack them in your carry-on luggage. You can also buy a voucher through Travelocity that you exchange for a ticket at your hotel if you're staying in a Disney hotel or at guest services near the park entrance.

  • If you order online (which requires you to register before making the purchase), you can also opt for eTickets delivered by e-mail which you can print out at home. This saves you the shipping costs, but even more important, an eTicket can be replaced if you forget or lose it, as long as the person who bought it is present and has the credit card they used with them. If that happens, just head for Guest Services at the Main Entrance Will Call window with the credit card and a photo ID and they can issue a new ticket.

  • Order by telephone at 714-781-4400. This is the only way to get one-day tickets in advance.

  • Once you start your Disneyland visit, lost tickets cannot be replaced, even if you have a copy of them. Keep them safely tucked into a secure pocket while you're in the park.

  • Unlike other theme parks, Disneyland offers few discounts on tickets. The best way to save money on Disneyland tickets is to spend less time there, but our guide to Getting Disneyland Tickets at a Discount summarizes all the ways you can get your Disneyland tickets without paying full price.
