Disneyland Raises Prices On Tickets, Annual Passes Ahead Of Marvel-Themed Land
ANAHEIM (CBSLA) — Ticket prices at Disneyland jumped Tuesday as part of a new five-tier pricing system raising some one-day passes over the $200 mark.
According to the OC Register, the park ticket prices increased 3 percent for top-tier daily admission, up to 5 percent for top tier park-hopper tickets, and as much as 13 percent for annual passes.
"Pretty wild, I don't know, if they keep going up, I don't know if we'll come back," said Jen Snell who was visiting the park with her family all the way from Canada.
"Tickets were about $450 U.S. for the family and then a couple of hundred bucks beyond that for a day. It's a lot, and we only came for a day this time because it was a lot."
One-day park-hopper tickets, which give a person access to both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park, jumped from $154 to $159 for lowest-demand days and from $199 to $209 during the highest-demand days.
Visitor Neil Brelinski and his wife believe it's well worth it. "We've been kind of saving up now for eight months to a year...just a little bit a time so we can afford to take the kids."
Some of the largest increases affected Disney's annual passports, which give visitors year-round access to the parks on select days.
- The "select" annual pass jumped from $399 to $419
- The "deluxe" pass rose 3% to $829
- The "signature" pass climbed 4% to $1,199
- The "premiere" pass jumped 13% to $2,199 from a year earlier.
- The new "flex" annual pass jumped 8% from $599 to $649.
Disneyland's MaxPass, which allows visitors to digitally reserve a reservation on rides, increased from $15 to $20.
During the lowest demand days, one-day one-park ticket prices stayed at $104.
The increase in prices comes months after the theme park unveiled the ever-popular Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, and ahead of the park's newest addition, the Marvel-themed Avengers Campus opening this summer.
Disneyland recently offered discounted prices for "kids everywhere" and Southern California residents starting at $67 per-person tickets when they buy a three-day, one-park ticket.
The tickets are available for purchase through May 18, 2020.
