Disney has launched 3 new particular presents for Might by way of September 2026, with two totally different resort offers and one ticket low cost for Disneyland and California Journey. Right here’s the whole lot you must find out about these offers, together with legitimate go to dates & particulars, how a lot cash you’ll save, impacts on crowds, and our recommendation about profiting from these reductions.

For a restricted time, youngsters ages 3 to 9 can go to each Disneyland and Disney California Journey for $50 per youngster with the acquisition of a particular 1-Day Park Hopper Ticket. For longer visits, you may also select 2-day and 3-day ticket choices, and even add-on Lightning Lane Multi-Go on to the tickets.

Select when to go to from Might 22 by way of September 7, 2026—topic to theme park reservation availability. These tickets at the moment are obtainable for buy, and whereas you should purchase straight from Disneyland, this deal can also be obtainable by way of Get Away Right now with even larger financial savings. At present, their costs are $47 to $49 per day relying on length, and they’re refundable in case one thing comes up.

This particular supply is legitimate for youngsters ages 3-9 solely. Tickets legitimate to be used starting Might 22, 2026, and multi-day tickets expire 13 days after the primary day of use or on September 7, 2026, whichever happens first. Tickets could also be used on nonconsecutive days, however word that they do have a fuse. Every day of use constitutes one full day of use. Might buy as much as 10 tickets per day.

Supply is probably not mixed with different ticket reductions or promotions. Topic to restrictions and alter or cancellation with out discover. Gross sales could also be paused occasionally or terminated at any time. Visitors underneath age 14 have to be accompanied by a visitor age 14 or older to enter the parks. To board an attraction, youngsters underneath age 7 have to be accompanied by an individual age 14 years or older.

Be aware that, like different ticket offers, this Children’ Summer season Ticket Supply makes use of a separate “pool” of park reservations, and people are sometimes extra restricted in availability than common tickets. Reservations could also be troublesome to get for any explicit date, particularly because the ticket expiration date approaches. To make sure greatest availability, make reservations ASAP.

In every of the final two years, Disneyland has supplied a model of this deal. Beforehand, it was legitimate to be used proper now, with go to dates within the winter and early spring (January 7 by way of March 20 final 12 months). It overlapped with the annual Southern California Resident Ticket Deal, making it particularly engaging for locals.

This 12 months, the dates shift to summer season: Might 22 and September 7, 2026.

This is smart, as crowds had been decrease in the summertime after the winter and spring ticket offers ended final 12 months, regardless of the seventieth Anniversary beginning! Summer season has gotten progressively much less busy, making it a good time to go to–particularly since Anaheim climate is nothing like Orlando.

The opposite large distinction is that the 2026 Children’ Summer season Ticket Particular Supply is similar value for Park Hoppers or base tickets. That means you’ll be able to improve to the Park Hopper possibility totally free, which was beforehand a surcharge final 12 months (and the 12 months earlier than). This makes the deal a lot better year-over-year, assuming you wish to Park Hop. It’s truly a intelligent transfer on Disney’s half, since mother and father will nonetheless pay additional for Park Hopping privileges.

We’re large followers of Park Hopper tickets for one easy cause: Disneyland and Disney California Journey are actually lower than a soccer area aside. It’s straightforward to leap from one to the opposite, and we do on each single go to. There are a variety of methods to leverage Park Hopping, from leisure to consuming to Lightning Lane maxing.

With that stated, when you have babies who received’t keep up late or aren’t involved about having essentially the most environment friendly day potential, buying Park Hoppers might be a waste of your cash. There’s nobody dimension suits all reply. It’d come all the way down to the ratio of youngsters vs. adults in your occasion. When you’ve got extra youngsters and fewer adults, the improve value is decrease because the youngsters get the Park Hopper perk totally free.

Our evaluation of this low cost is that it’s a shockingly whole lot, amounting to a reduction of as a lot as $150 to $369 off multi-day tickets (relying upon length and the extras you buy, or don’t). That latter quantity isn’t a typo–it can save you as a lot as $369 off a 3-day ticket.

This deal has persistently been one of the best pricing on Disneyland tickets every of the final a number of years. And it’s even higher this 12 months due to the “free” Park Hopper improve. After all, it solely applies to youngsters’s tickets and is for the summer season, however nonetheless. It’s an distinctive deal if it really works for your loved ones. And it’s legitimate for the longest stretch of time when youngsters are out of college, so even out of state vacationers ought to be capable to extra simply plan across the deal in 2026.

We’d additionally add that there are dates in the beginning and finish of this ticket deal date vary that rank extremely on our Least expensive Instances to Do Disneyland, which additionally accounts for inns and extra. So you might do a cheap (by Disneyland requirements) journey throughout this promo interval in Summer season 2026!

Should you actually wish to hack this deal, that 13-day “fuse” window must be adequate to expertise the tip of Disneyland70, 2026 D23 Expo, and/or begin of Halloween. The identical common timeframe would additionally supply the bottom crowds of the 12 months–simply remember to use your tickets a few weeks earlier than the September 7, 2026 finish date!

Talking of crowds, it’s actually arduous to say simply how unhealthy they’ll be because of this deal. Most likely not as unhealthy because the final two years when this deal has coincided with winter and spring, which has change into more and more busy. That’s exactly why this deal is occurring from Might to September and not being supplied from January by way of March.

Final 12 months, Might by way of September was much less busy than January by way of March. February and March had been the #2 and #1 worst months, respectively. January wasn’t as unhealthy, however was nonetheless worse than Might by way of September. And consider, the Disneyland seventieth Anniversary began in Might!

It’s arduous to say whether or not this low cost will reverse these developments. Frankly, we doubt it. April was the third busiest month of final 12 months, and this low cost ended by then. It was crowded regardless of that as a consequence of Spring Break and Easter. And likewise, February and March had been busy due to Ski Week and Spring Break.

Nonetheless, we’re anticipating that Summer season 2026 will probably be a lot busier year-over-year. Anecdotally, we noticed a noticeable enhance in strollers and households across the parks in the course of the remaining few weeks of the promotion in every of the final two years–many greater than regular. Saving $150 to $369 on every youngsters’ ticket is just too good of a deal to go up for a lot of households.

With this deal shifting to Summer season 2026 when faculty is out of session, that can make this deal much more accessible to out of state vacationers. The extent to which that’ll occur is unattainable to foretell at this level, however that’s one thing our 2026 Disneyland Crowd Calendars will probably be up to date to think about as soon as knowledge begins to roll in. Keep tuned.

The ticket deal is the principle occasion, however we additionally wish to carry a few new resort reductions to your consideration…

I’m not going to fixate on these resort reductions, as a result of nearly all of visitors–particularly deal hunters–aren’t going to have an excessive amount of curiosity in staying on-site at Disneyland. It’s essentially totally different than Walt Disney World, and the current lack of Early Entry makes it much more troublesome to justify the premium pricing (even at a reduction).

What I’ll say is that, if it’s a as soon as in a lifetime journey, special day or cash is not any object, we’d extremely suggest going with Disney’s Grand Californian Lodge & Spa. It’s usually the most costly of the trio, however it’s additionally essentially the most “price it” from our perspective.

The Grand Californian is a real luxurious resort and thematic gem–consider it as one of the best components of Wilderness Lodge and Grand Floridian, mixed in a single resort. It’s far and away our #1 resort at DLR, and if cash had been no object, it’s the place we’d at all times keep at Disneyland.

We don’t have a GCH vs. PPH comparability (but), however you’ll be able to most likely surmise the way it’d play out based mostly on these head-to-heads.

There are additionally a ton of nice off-site inns which might be inside strolling distance to the parks and value a lot much less cash than the three Accommodations of Disneyland Resort.
