Disneyland will slash ticket prices to just $50 a day this summer — but there’s a catch.
The bargain price at the Anaheim, Calif., theme park requires visitors to purchase three-day, one-park tickets that are only valid for admission Mondays through Thursdays.
The price of the total package costs $149 for children and $249 for adults, which works out to just under $50 per day for kids and $83 per day for adults.
Three-day passes for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are also on offer, but prices increase to $199 for children and $299 for adults — or $67 daily for kids and $100 daily for adults.
By comparison, a one-day/one-park ticket throughout the week costs between $104 and $194.
The promotion is valid from June 10 through Sept. 26 — between its springtime Pixar Fest to Halloween Time in the fall, The Mercury News earlier reported.
The tickets don’t, however, have to be used on three consecutive dates, though advance reservations are required for each visit.
Disneyland warns that reservations are not guaranteed through the 15-week period the tickets are eligible for, and reserving a time to visit could get increasingly difficult as the expiration date approaches, according to The Mercury News.
Tickets will go on sale beginning May 29.
Each purchase can be upgraded with the “Park Hopper” option — which allows entry into more than one of Disneyland’s theme parks in a given day — as well as the Genie+ line-skipping service.
Park Hopper tickets, for example, are typically anywhere from $65 to $75 more than their one-park counterpart, while Genie+ retails starting at $25 per person per day.
The ability to skip long waits increases from there depending on what day the ticket is for, as Disneyland utilizes surge pricing, according to Disney fan magazine WDW.
As part of the summertime special, Disneyland is also offering 20% discounts on single-night stays during the week at the Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, The Mercury News reported.
Stays of four nights or longer will afford guests a 25% discount at eligible hotels, though some suites and villas are excluded from the discount.
The recently renovated Pixar Place Hotel also isn’t included in the promotion, which will also run from June 10 through Sept. 26, and can be reserved starting May 29.
Representatives for Disney did not immediately respond to noti.group’s request for comment.
The alluring deal comes just months after the Mouse House said it would be hiking prices at its California and Florida theme parks by as much as 10%.
In October, Disney raised prices at Disneyland by 8.9% on single-day tickets, pushing the cost to $194 to enter the Anaheim park.
At Disney World in Orlando, meanwhile, yearly passes were lifted by a whopping 10% — with the most expensive Incredi-Pass now selling for $1,449, up $50.
Disney said at the time that it wouldn’t increase daily pass prices at Disney World, and will keep the cheapest full-price ticket at Disneyland at $104, which hasn’t changed in four years, the company said.
