Last chance to buy cheap Disneyland tickets this year

Disneyland bargain hunters looking for cheap tickets to the Anaheim theme park will have eight more chances this year to save a few bucks on admission between the end of the Halloween season and the start of the Christmas holidays — but you’ll get what you pay for.

The last chance to get $104 single day, single park tickets to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in 2025 will be Monday, Nov. 3 through Thursday, Nov. 6 and Nov. 10-13.

The winter holiday season kicks off at Disneyland and DCA on Nov. 14 when daily ticket prices jump to $129 to $224 for the rest of the year.

In case you’re wondering, there are only two dates left in 2025 at the $129 price — Nov. 18 and 19.

Disneyland raised ticket prices in early October, but kept the lowest-priced one day, one park ticket unchanged at $104, where the cheapest tickets have remained since 2019.

The rock bottom ticket prices in November fall on dates between the Halloween and Christmas seasons, which means the “Halloween Screams” fireworks and “Storytellers of Plaza de la Familia” will have just ended while the “Believe in Holiday Magic” fireworks and Disney’s Festival of the Holidays food fest will have yet to start.

You’ll also miss out on a whole lot of nighttime entertainment if you opt for the cheap $104 tickets on Nov. 3-6 or Nov. 10-13.

Disneyland closes at 10 p.m. on all eight dates — an hour earlier than usual during the fall and two hours earlier than on most Summer nights. DCA closes at 9 p.m. on those dates.

The cheap dates fall on Mondays through Thursdays on both weeks, which means you’ll get no fireworks and no “Fantasmic” nighttime spectacular.

You’ll only get one Paint the Night parade on Nov. 3-6 — instead of the traditional two performances per night. That’s better than on Nov. 10-13 when you’ll get no Paint the Night parades as the park prepares for the returning A Christmas Fantasy parade.

DCA visitors will get to see the “World of Color Happiness” water show close out the park each night at 9 p.m. on those dates.

That’s a lot to give up — especially if you’re a big fan of holiday and nighttime entertainment.

But if you just want to enjoy the rides, there’s no cheaper time to visit Disneyland and get on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Indiana Jones Adventure and Space Mountain while prices are low.

Disneyland is offering discount hotel rooms to go with the cheap tickets.

Disneyland bargain hunters can save up to 20% on a three-night stay at the Disneyland Hotel or Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel through Dec. 19.
