Disney is celebrating a major milestone with a NEW ticket offer.
Walt Disney’s original theme park Disneyland first opened its gates for a media event on July 17th, 1955, before opening fully to the public on July 18th, meaning that the park just recently celebrated its 69th birthday. In honor of this anniversary — and as a way to goose summer season ticket sales — Disney has announced a corresponding ticket deal for the park’s hometown fans!
As a way of saying “thank you for being great neighbors”, Disney is offering $69 1-day, 1-park tickets exclusively to Anaheim residents this summer. For comparison’s sake, 1-day, 1-park tickets for the Disneyland Resort typically cost between $104 and $194.
According to Disney, “We appreciate and celebrate you on our 69th anniversary. You’ve been part of our history… here’s to the future! Make it your happiest time ever by visiting Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park.”
These exclusive tickets are available for purchase now and can be used on any day between August 5th and September 26th, meaning that they can be used to visit the park during two of its most popular annual celebrations: Halloween Time and Plaza de Familia, both of which kick off on August 23rd.
Halloween Time is the resort’s annual spooky celebration featuring ghoulish Halloween treats like ride overlays including Haunted Mansion Holiday, Guardian of the Galaxy: Monsters After Dark, Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, and Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween, characters in special Halloween costumes, decorations, and the famous Main Street Pumpkin Festival.
Meanwhile, Plaza de Familia is a Coco-themed “immersive celebration of the everlasting bonds of family” that celebrates Día de Los Muertos with crafts, photo opportunities, and a memory wall. These events are located in the Paradise Gardens area of California Adventure.
Park Hopper and Genie+ upgrade options can be added to the ticket for additional fees at purchase.
A valid theme park reservation is required to use the ticket, and Disney encourages you to “be sure reservations are available for the dates you want to visit” by checking for available dates on the park reservation calendar as “reservation availability can change until the park reservation selection is finalized.”
Furthermore, the company stresses that “theme park reservations for the Anaheim Resident Offer ticket holders are limited in number and subject to the availability of park reservations allocated to the Anaheim Resident.”
Some further details and restrictions according to Disney:
- This offer is valid only for Anaheim residents within ZIP codes 92801 through 92809, 92812, 92814 through 92817, 92825, 92850, and 92899; proof of eligible residency, including valid government-issued photo ID, is required for purchase and admission.
- Eligible residents may purchase up to 5 tickets per day with a valid ID.
- Tickets are nonrefundable, may not be sold or transferred for commercial use, and exclude activities and events that are separately priced.
- The offer may not be combined with other ticket discounts or promotions. Subject to restrictions, change, or cancellation without notice. Sales may be paused or terminated at any time.

I never knew that the Small World attraction at Disneyland in CA traveled outside of the building on its journey. Interesting.
