Disneyland Resort just rolled out discounts for kids and hotel stays next year.
On the heels of Disney World’s announcements of deals in 2025, its California counterpart has followed suit with the return of $50 kid tickets and up to 25 percent off hotel stays, Disneyland shared with Travel + Leisure.
The limited-time special ticket offer for kids ages 3-9 can visit Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park for as little as $50 per day, with the ability to purchase an up to 3-day ticket. This offer is valid for visits Jan. 7 through March 20, 2025 including Park Hopper passes and the ability to add-on Lighting Lane Multi Pass.
There are no blockout dates, but theme park reservations are required.
Further savings can be found when visitors also stay at Disney’s on-site hotels can save up to 25 percent off bookings four nights or longer on weekdays or weekends. The offer is good at any of Disney’s three on-site hotels — Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, and Pixar Place Hotel — and is also valid for travel dates Jan. 7 through March 20, 2025. Another deal, offering up to 20 percent off non-discounted hotel rooms with no consecutive night minimum, is also available.
Both the $50 ticket offer and new hotel deals are set to go on sale beginning Oct. 22, 2024.
For those looking to visit this year, an up to 15 percent off discount is available for stays at the Disneyland Hotel, The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. This is valid for select stays Oct. 20 through Dec. 19, 2024.
Each Disneyland Resort hotel is located within walking distance from Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and Downtown Disney District. Hotel guests also receive exclusive benefits, including theme park early entry, a dedicated park entrance, preferred dining reservation access, exclusive character encounters, and more. This includes the newly opened Pixar Place Hotel and The Villas at Disneyland Hotel.
2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year as the Disneyland Resort prepares to celebrate its 70th anniversary. This year’s D23 convention revealed new experiences in the works, including a brand-new show at the Main Street Opera House in Disneyland Park. Based on the life of Walt Disney, “Walt Disney — A Magical Life,” will feature the first-ever Audio-animatronic figure of Walt Disney created by Walt Disney Imagineering and will debut in 2025.
