If this weekend's price hike on Disneyland Resort admission tickets caught you by surprise, don't panic - there are still ways you can save on Disneyland tickets for your next trip.
I'm only listing legitimate discounts and options below - we don't condone ticket "sharing" here, so if that's the type of advice you're seeking you'll have to look elsewhere. I'll update this thread with other offers as we hear about them - if you know of one, let me know!
Tickets:
1: Check your local grocery store or Disney store
IF your local grocery store or Disney store usually sells Disneyland tickets, check with them to see if they have any at the old prices. It seems that they don't all get the memo the pull the old ticket stock the second Disneyland changes their prices, so you may have a one- or two-day window to hunt down a deal.
2: Purchase through Get Away Today
Get Away Today still shows Disneyland tickets at the old price, and has discounts that save you a bit more. We don't know how long this will last, so jump on it.
3: Check with your local travel agent or AAA office, credit union, employee benefits office, school, etc.
In the past, travel agencies and ticket resellers could quietly continue to sell their remaining tickets at the old prices after a price change, while inventory lasted. If you work with a travel agent or AAA office that usually stocks Disneyland tickets, check with them. If you have a credit union, benefits office or student union, check with them to see if they have any offers for you. It often takes several days for the prices to update on the websites, so check ASAP.
4: Check with a Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotel
MousePad Community Leader Malcon10t has previously noted that "Several hotels in the area (I know the Candy Cane has them) has tickets at the old price until they are gone."
5: Consider the 2015 CityPASS
2015 Southern California CityPASS ($334/$291) This pass includes aa 3-Day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Bonus Ticket (including one early-entry day), a one-day admission to Sea World San Diego and a one-day admission to Universal Studios Hollywood. The CityPASS expires 14 days after first use at any location, and the first use must occur by June 2, 2015. Purchase CityPass through the Disneyland Website or onsite at the ticket booths of Disneyland Resort or the other theme parks included in the pass. You can also purchase directly from the CityPass website, though a shipping charge may apply depending on how quickly you need the ticket.
Annual Passports:
1: If your pass expires in March, you can still renew it at the lower price!
Passholders with March expiration dates can renew at the lower price provided you renew no later than 60 days after your pass expires. If you've already received your renewal paperwork by mail, you can just send that in or renew online. If you haven't yet received your paperwork but your pass expires in February or March, you should still be able to renew online - just check the passholder website. Unfortunately, unless you can convince Disney to make an exception for you, people with passes that expire after March can not renew at the lower prices.
2: Check your local grocery store or Disney store
IF your local grocery store or Disney store usually sells Disneyland annual passes, check with them to see if they have any at the old prices. It seems that they don't all get the memo the pull the old ticket stock the second Disneyland changes their prices, so you may have a one- or two-day window to hunt down a deal.
