Disneyland Resort has announced price hikes on most park tickets and Magic Key passes, effective October 9, 2024. Ticket prices for the famous California theme park have surged, with one-day tickets now reaching over $200 for the highest-tier options.
Multi-day passes have also increased by 6-7%, with three-day tickets now priced at $415. Magic Key annual passes, Disneyland’s tiered membership system, have seen rises of up to $125 depending on the pass level, with the top-tier Inspire Key now costing $1,749.
The increases impact nearly all ticket types, except for the Park Hopper add-on, which remains unchanged. The least expensive single-day ticket (Tier 0) stays at $104, but other tiers see increases ranging from $7 to $12 per ticket.
The Magic Key passes, which offer year-round access with varying blackout dates and other perks, have seen their prices raised across the board. The most significant hike comes in the Enchant Key, which increased by $125, bringing it to $974. Even the most basic Imagine Key has risen by $100, now costing $599.
These changes come as Disneyland prepares for its 70th anniversary in 2025 and the opening of new attractions, such as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Disney officials, while acknowledging the price hikes, have emphasized that the company offers a variety of promotional deals throughout the year to make the park accessible for families.
For instance, special discounts for Magic Key holders, such as a 50% off Lightning Lane Multi-Pass discount in January 2025, will be available.
Despite the higher costs, Disneyland maintains that the price increases are a response to the demand for their experiences, while also seeking to manage park capacity and enhance the overall guest experience. The theme park also continues to introduce perks for Magic Key holders, including exclusive previews for upcoming attractions and new tools to help members track how many visits it takes to make their pass worth the cost.
While some fans may feel the sting of these increases, Disneyland continues to be a top destination, offering an ever-expanding array of attractions, experiences, and entertainment options. However, visitors should prepare for steeper costs when planning their next magical adventure.
