Disneyland Resort Update for February 26, 2024
News and Views
Get ready to wine and dine through DCA
The 2024 California Food and Wine Festival begins this Friday, March 1, 2024 at Disney California Adventure. While food and beverage gets top billing at this event, there is quite a bit to see and do between snacks.
An annual favorite is the return of Soarin' Over California to DCA during the California Food and Wine Festival. The attraction returns to its opening day version for a limited time.

Another returning favorite is Cookin' with the Jammin' Chefs, who perform near the entrance to The Little Mermaid – Ariel's Undersea Adventure. This is a fun percussion-based show, and features appearances from Disney characters.
New for 2024 is a family-friendly show, “Confection Purrfection with the SuperKitties,” starring characters from the Disney Junior animated series. This show replaces Alice's Wonderland Bakery Unbirthday Party, which itself was an update to the fan-favorite junior chef offering Disney has tinkered with for the past decade or more. The basic premise is that younger guests get to participate in a hands-on cookie or cupcake decorating activity, and a Disney character makes a “surprise” appearance. We have no further details about this new show, and it does not yet appear on the entertainment schedule, but we expect it will be offered on the Hollywood Backlot stage a few times each day. Keep an eye on the schedule for updates if this is something that interests you, and be prepared to show up 30-45 minutes before showtime to register your child to participate.
On Saturdays and Sundays during the festival, visitors can watch complimentary culinary demonstrations from Disneyland Resort and invited guest chefs. Disney has showtimes listed on the entertainment calendar, but as of press time has provided no further details regarding the topics or presenters for each demonstration. We also expect these demonstrations to be presented on the Hollywood Backlot stage. If Disney repeats their practice of the past two years, these demonstrations will be informational only, and no samples will be served.
Finally, Disney will host live musical performances at the Paradise Gardens Bandstand and the Palisades Stage throughout the Food & Wine Festival. The set times are posted on the Disneyland web site for each location, but no information about which acts will be performing.
Disneyland After Dark
Disney doubled the number of Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite events for 2024, and surprisingly tickets are still available for all eight events. Disneyland Inspire Magic Key holders had first dibs on the tickets starting last Tuesday, and tickets went on sale to the general public last Friday.
The events are scheduled April 16, 18, 23, 25, 30; and May 2, 7 & 9. The event officially begins at 9:00 p.m. each night, though ticket holders can enter Disneyland as early as 6:00 p.m. Tickets start at $159 per person, ages 3 and up, and parking is not included.

Let's keep it social
It looks like the Walt Disney Company has resumed posting to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, at least for some of its official accounts. For others, including the official @Disneyland and @WaltDisneyWorld accounts, it appears Instagram and Facebook are still the preferred social media platforms. If you're used to getting your official Disney news from X, you'll want to check other channels as well.
Vacation in 2024 at 2023 prices
2024 Disneyland packages are now live and ready to book through Get Away Today! For a limited time, you can lock in 2023 pricing for 2024 travel, or take advantage of the great early 2024 discounts now available.

We also have our Layaway Plan available for guests who want to book in advance. For just $200 down, you can book your 2024 package with payment due just 8 days before travel! We recommend final payment 60 days before travel so park reservations can be made. Our Layaway Plan makes planning a vacation affordable and flexible for everyone.

- Holidays at the Disneyland Resort – Begins November 15.
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, 2023.
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.

Check the Disneyland website to see what type of ticket you need for the day you plan to visit. Seasonal pricing applies only to one-day tickets.
Kids’ Special Offer Ticket
Children ages 3 to 9 can visit Disneyland or Disney California Adventure for as low as $50 per day between January 8 and March 10, 2024 with this new discounted admission.
You can purchase 1-, 2- or 3-day park tickets, and add-on optional park-hopping and Disney Genie+ upgrades. Pricing is below, with the regular price noted so you can see the savings.
| Ticket (regular price) |
Ticket with Park Hopper (regular price) |
Ticket with Disney Genie+ (regular price) |
Ticket with Park Hopper and Disney Genie+ (regular price) |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-day | $50 ($98-183) |
$85 ($163-248) |
$80 ($128-$213) |
$115 ($193-278) |
| 2-day | $100 ($290) |
$165 ($350) |
$160 ($350) |
$225 ($350) |
| 3-day | $150 ($365) |
$220 ($435) |
$240 ($455) |
$310 ($525) |
Read the fine print carefully, because you need to make a theme park reservation to use this ticket—and Disney is only setting aside a limited number of reservations for this ticket type each day, and states, “reservation availability for Kids’ Special Offer Ticket holders is not guaranteed for any date, and reservations may be difficult to get for any particular date, especially as the ticket expiration date approaches.”
In addition to requiring a theme park reservation, this ticket also has a “fuse”—which means multi-day tickets expire 13 days after the first day of use (or on March 10, 2024, whichever comes first). You won't need to use all two or three days consecutively, but you will need to make sure to use them all before they expire. From past experience, it will be difficult to get reservations the last week of this offer unless you plan well in advance.
Book now here at Get Away Today or call 1-855-GET-AWAY, and be sure to mention you saw them on MousePlanet.
Two Day Tickets
- Two-Day, One-Park per Day Ticket – regularly $310/$290
- Two-Day Park Hopper – regularly $375/$350
- Disney Genie+ Add-On – $30 per day, per ticket
- Advance purchase Two-Day tickets – check for current discounts and promotions from Get Away Today

- Three-Day, One-Park per Day Ticket – regularly $390/$365
- Three-Day Park Hopper – regularly $460/$435
- Disney Genie+ Add-On – $30 per day, per ticket
- Advance purchase Three-Day tickets – check for current discounts and promotions from Get Away Today
SoCal Resident Ticket Offer
The Southern California Resident Ticket offers residents admission to either Disneyland or Disney California Adventure up to three weekdays between January 2 and June 2, 2024 for $225, or up to any three days between January 2 and June 2, 2024 for $275.
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. For an additional $70, you can 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 $90 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 2 and wait until June 2 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. Reservations can now be made up to 180 days in advance, which as of press time includes the entire duration of this offer.
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

Purchase with purchase offers – Disneyland Resort shops frequently offer a reduced-price souvenir (often a tote bag, watch, or blanket) with a qualifying minimum purchase. These are offered at Disney-operated stores only, and selection may vary by location.
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. If you're a passholder, the minimum purchase is calculated after your discount, and your discount does not apply to the promotional item.

Military discounts are valid for stays most nights from January 9 through December 15, 2023. You can book now through December 11, 2023, and travel must be completed by December 16, 2023.
Disney does not publish the actual discounted rates, and instead asks eligible U.S. military personnel to call (844) 776-0015 to check pricing, availability and to make reservations. In past years, the offer was generally 30% to 40% off, based on room category.
Unlike the Walt Disney World version, the Disneyland offer allows the eligible service member to book up to two rooms, and allows their spouse (with valid and proper ID) to qualify in the absence of the service member, provided the spouse stays in one of the rooms booked.
