How Much Are Disneyland Tickets?
Disney theme parks are known for their many attractions — including rides, parades, fireworks and shows. With many different activities and things to see, Disneyland is a hit for many families looking to have fun in California. Before heading out to see Mickey and the crew, visitors should find out how much Disneyland tickets cost and what the wonderful world of Disney has to offer parkgoers in 2022.
Features and Attractions
Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California has two exciting theme parks: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Here are some examples of what Disneyland visitors have to look forward to when purchasing tickets.
Disneyland Park
This year, Disneyland Park added two new magical attractions — Disneyland Forever and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Star Wars is an exciting new addition where visitors can be a part of the Resistance and join in the battle against the epic First Order, just like in the iconic movie. Guests can also enjoy Disneyland Park’s extraordinary fireworks display and immerse themselves in Disney stories in the enchanting world.
Classic Disneyland Park attractions such as the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean and It’s a Small World are still popular in 2022. Visitors shouldn’t forget to stop by and savor the always delicious treats at the Cafe Orleans, Plaza Inn and Red Rose Taverne eateries.
Disney California Adventure Park
Family fun begins at Disney California Adventure Park, where stories are brought to life. At this park, there are three new attractions visitors can enjoy. Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind is a colorful, whimsical ride and Jessie’s Critter Carousel features cowgirl Jessie and her animal friends from “Toy Story 2.” Avengers Campus is staged to recruit superheroes of the next generation.
Adventure Park dining choices include Carthay Circle Restaurant, Flo’s V8 Cafe and Lamplight Lounge, where diners delight in high-end fare, comfort food and pub-style cuisine and drinks.
Reservations and Tickets
Disneyland theme parks now manage park attendance through a new park reservation system. Each park attendee over the age of three is required to make a park reservation and have a valid ticket for the same park on the same date of the planned visit.
Guests can make reservations up to 120 days or more in advance, subject to park availability.
To make a Disneyland theme park reservation and purchase tickets, visitors should:
- Decide their date preferences to visit Disneyland theme parks.
- Check park reservation availability on the website.
- Purchase tickets and make park reservations online or on the Disneyland mobile app.
Guests who already have valid Disneyland theme park tickets can sign in to their Disney account at Disneyland.com or on the Disneyland app and link their tickets to their reservation. Theme park reservations may be made for up to the number of admission days on each ticket. Other valid tickets can be linked to an account to make group reservations.
How Much Are Disneyland Tickets?
Disneyland theme park guests can now purchase tickets and make select reservations at the same time. Multi-day tickets are highly recommended for guests to enjoy the fun that both parks have to offer. Here are the various types of park tickets and what they cost for each number of days.

California Resident Tickets
California residents have the privilege of enjoying three-day park tickets every day of the week.

For greater flexibility, California residents can enjoy a Monday through Sunday three-day, one-park-per-day ticket starting at $100 per day.

Ticket prices range from $129 to $179 per person.
