Disneyland announces Winter 2023 Southern California Resident Ticket offers
The Disneyland Resort once waited until after the new year to announce its winter discount offer for Southern California residents, but for the second year in a row we're seeing the offer released in early December.
Southern California residents can visit the Disneyland Resort theme parks three weekdays between January 9 and May 25, 2023 for as little as $219 using a new discounted ticket now on sale and available from our travel partner Get Away Today. The ticket is $20 more expensive than the 2022 offer, but still represents a savings of up to $141 off the regular price of a three-day, one-park-per-day ticket. There are also options to add park hopping and Disney Genie+ service to your ticket at the time of purchase.
This weekday-only offer is not your pre-pandemic SoCal Salute, so be sure to pay close attention to details before you purchase.
SoCal Resident Ticket Offer
The Southern California Resident Ticket offers residents of Southern California and northern Baja California admission to either Disneyland or Disney California Adventure up to three weekdays between January 9 and May 25, 2023.
You can use every day of this ticket at the same theme park, or visit different parks on different days, but you can't use it to enter both parks on the same day. The ticket is $219 for ages 3 and up, and is valid only Mondays through Fridays. Weekends are not included.
For an additional $60, you can also upgrade the ticket to a park-hopper, which allows entry to both parks each day.
You can also add Disney Genie+ service for an additional $75 for the three days when purchased in advance. Remember that you can also upgrade to Disney Genie+ after you enter the theme park (subject to availability) and pay the then-current daily fee. We recommend going with the latter option for your first experience with Disney Genie+, just to make sure the service provides a value for you. If you love it, you can always add the Genie+ to your remaining days.
Tickets are available through the Disneyland website, or through MousePlanet travel partner Get Away Today.
There is no “fuse” on this ticket, which means that you can use the first admission on January 9 and wait until May 25 to use the remaining admission. However, remember that you must make a theme park reservation for each day that you want to use the ticket. Disney also warns that ticket sales may be paused or ended at any time, so it's probably best to purchase early so you're ready to make reservations as soon as they open for your desired travel dates.
Tickets expire on May 25, 2023, and do not have a spring blockout period.
Disney states that proof of residency is required for purchase and admission, and each resident can purchase up to five tickets per day.
Now for the official fine print:
Southern California Resident Ticket
- Offer valid only for Southern California residents within ZIP codes 90000–93599 and Northern Baja California residents within ZIP codes 21000–22999
- Each Guest, 18 years of age and older, using a Southern California Resident ticket must show proof of eligible residency for purchase and admission.
- Tickets are not valid before January 9, 2023, expire May 25, 2023, and are limited in availability.
- Tickets are not valid on Saturdays and Sundays.
- To enter a theme park, Guests (ages 3 and older) need a valid ticket and a theme park reservation for the same day and same park they want to visit.
- Theme park reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance and are limited and subject to availability and restrictions.
- Guests may update their theme park reservation dates until May 26, 2022 by canceling their existing reservations and booking new reservation dates; new reservation dates are subject to availability.
- Each day of use constitutes one full day of use.
- Eligible residents may purchase up to 5 tickets per day with valid ID.
- Tickets are nonrefundable, may not be sold or transferred for commercial use and exclude activities/events separately priced.
- Offer may not be combined with other ticket discounts or promotions, and is subject to restrictions, change and cancellation without notice.
- Sales may be paused from time to time or terminated at any time.
Candy Canes are back
This week marked the start of the Disneyland Resort candy cane season, with large crowds on hand Sunday morning to get one of the first freshly pulled candy canes of the year. With only 14 more candy cane days on the calendar this year, it pays to come prepared if you have your heart set on this classic Disneyland treat.

The #1 question people ask is “how do I get one?!?!” It's not difficult, but you need to plan ahead and be willing to devote some time.
First, consult the Candy Cane Calendar for the year. The official dates are:
- Disneyland Candy Palace – December 6, 11, 13, 18, 20, 24
- Disney California Adventure Trolley Treats – December 5, 7, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 25
If you have the luxury of being able to go any day you want, your best bet is to pick a weekday when candy canes are being released at Disney California Adventure, which tends to have shorter lines.
Once you decide when to go, check to see what time the park opens and get to the front gates at least one hour early. Now that every day is an early admission day for resort hotel guests at both parks, the gates open 30 minutes before the published time, granting you access to Main Street and/or Buena Vista Street.
As soon as the entrance opens, walk briskly straight to either Trolley Treats or the Main Street Candy Kitchen and look for the cast members who will direct you into a line outside the shop. Once you get to the front of the physical line, you'll use your smartphone to scan a QR code, which will direct you to a website where you'll join a virtual queue. You will receive a first text message to verify that you are in the queue.
You will receive a second text to let you know when it's your turn to return to the store to get your candy cane. Depending on where you are in the queue, you may get a candy cane from the first batch, or you may have to wait until the fourth and last batch of the day. If you aren't one of the first people in line, be prepared to wait as late as 3:00 in the afternoon for the notice to return.
Special note for day guests: With the introduction of early entry for Disneyland Resort hotel guests, gates open at 7:30 a.m. instead of 8:00 on all these dates. Because you're also allowed to enter the turnstiles along with resort guests to get to Main Street and/or Buena Vista Street at 7:30, you should be at the entrance gate no later than 7:00 so that you can get into the physical line early enough to sign into the virtual queue.
If you're a Magic Key holder, here are the dates each tier can purchase candy canes. Be sure to make a park reservation for the appropriate park.

Magic Happens returns February 24, 2023
While the entire Walt Disney Company will commemorate its 100th anniversary in 2023, it was announced at the D23 Expo that the Disneyland Resort will be the host of the Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration starting in January. As part of the festivities, Disneyland will see the return of the Magic Happens parade on February 24, 2023.

The Magic Happens parade was created for Disneyland's 65 anniversary and debuted in February 2020. Unfortunately the new parade ran just a few weeks before the Disneyland Resort closed due to the pandemic, and did not return when the parks reopened last year.
As the host park of the Disney 100 Years of Wonder celebration, the Disneyland Resort will also debut a new fireworks show and World of Color production in addition to the return of the Magic Happens parade. Look for platinum-infused decorations, character costumes, merchandise collections and more when the celebration kicks off in January.
Ducks Day returns to DCA
Anaheim Ducks Day is coming back to Disney California Adventure on January 12, 2023.

Fans of the Anaheim Ducks hockey team are encouraged to come enjoy a day of “special hockey activities, photo opportunities, and memorable experiences” featuring the team that was founded by the Walt Disney Company. Disney says additional details about the event are still to be announced.
The first event, scheduled to commemorate the team's 25th anniversary in 2019, included a cavalcade with the team along Hollywood Boulevard, special fan activities in Stage 17, and meet-and-greet sessions with Ducks players. Disney also released Ducks + Disney souvenirs. The event expanded with more merchandise and food offerings in 2020, but was not held in 2022.

Academy Award-winning actress Viola Davis was the celebrity narrator for Disneyland's 2022 Candlelight Processional at Disneyland. If you were unable to view the performance in person, our friends at DAPS Magic have posted a full video from Saturday's first performance, which you can watch on YouTube.
Reader Oleg let us know that Disneyland did not allow visitors to stop and watch the pre-show processional down Main Street, U.S.A. as they did in pre-pandemic years, opting to keep pedestrian traffic moving down the sidewalks. Oleg said visitors were allowed to “stand and watch in the hub. North of Plaza Point on the east and Jolly Holiday on the west.” He also noted that a few lucky people were able to snag a spot on the porch near the China Closet and watch the processional from there.

Disneyland Tram Service Closes After Man Falls from Mickey & Friends Parking Structure
The Disneyland Resort suspended tram service Saturday night as the Anaheim Police Department and the Orange County coroner's office responded to reports that a person fell from the Mickey and Friends parking structure. Anaheim PD public information officer Sgt. Shane Carringer told the Los Angeles Times, “The investigation revealed that it is most likely a suicide.”
While first responders were on scene, Disneyland visitors who had parked in one of the two structures had to walk through Downtown Disney to reach the parking areas. MousePlanet reader Oleg noted that the escalators were not in operation, with everyone required to use either the elevators or the stairs in the Pixar Pals section of the linked parking structures.
Tram service resumed Sunday morning.
If you or someone you know are struggling with mental health, please dial 988, or call or text (800) 273-8255 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Get Away Today, sell one-day tickets. Previously authorized sellers could only offer multi-day tickets and packages. These one-day tickets are available on their own, or with park hopping and/or Disney Genie+ services added. Tickets are day and date specific – you must provide the exact travel date at the time of purchase, and make a theme park reservation.
Single-day tickets purchased through an authorized agency cost a little more than purchasing directly from Disney, but Get Away Today offers refundable options in the event your plans change.

We also recommend checking the convention calendar at the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau website. When looking at that site, remember to note both the number of people and the number of rooms resulting from each convention. A gathering of 25,000 people booking few room nights (indicating most will be driving in to the area for their meeting) can impact traffic around the resort much more than a crowd of 25,000 staying in area hotels. Of course, that second group is going to make finding a hotel room more difficult (and possibly more expensive), so it's best to book your own room as early as possible if you see that a big convention is in town during your trip.

Current Discounts and Promotions
Disneyland prices as of October 11, 2022.
Note: MousePlanet does not edit past Updates to reflect price increases; for up-to-date prices, check the most recent Disneyland Resort Update. Several current promotions offer discounted admission to the Disneyland Resort. For your convenience, we have grouped the discount offers based on the number of days the tickets are valid. Check out the category that best matches the amount of time you plan to spend at the resort, and pick the offer that works best for you. And keep those tips coming—let us know if you find a better or different offer, so we can share it with other readers!
This first section is a list of discounts on ticket-only purchases. Though it has become more common in recent years, Disneyland tickets are rarely offered at deep discounts unless you are a resident of Southern California or Northern Mexico. For residents outside that area, the best discounts available tend to be simple advance purchase discounts. If you know of any additional discounts, offers, promotions, or contests that should be listed in this section, drop us a line. Note, we are no longer listing offers from the Anaheim-Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau, as their convenience fee negates any savings.
Don't get scammed! Never buy tickets from an unofficial or secondary outlet, such as through eBay or Craigslist. Never rent or purchase tickets from people approaching you outside the gates stating they have remaining days or leftover tickets. This practice is against the terms of use for Disneyland admission, and may result in denial of entry. It is also common for criminals to shoplift inactivated Disney theme park tickets from supermarkets to resell them. There is no way to determine if these tickets are valid until you try to use them to enter the parks. Only purchase Disney theme park tickets directly from Disney, an authorized seller, or travel agency like MousePlanet travel partner Get Away Today.

Disney usually allows customers to purchase more than one of the offers in a qualifying transaction, so if you spend $40 or more you can buy both items currently available if you wish.
