@rainbow dash Yes, this post was published 3 years ago. I will see if I can put together a new post with some discounts.

This is outdated.. Tickets are now $96.00 for one day, one park. I went to Cosco, they informed me that they haven’t sold Disneyland tickets in 3 years. Kern schools federal bank “claims” to sell the tickets (I went inside the bank to purchase such tickets, they informed me they only sale them online.. I go online, Disneyland tickets are first option however there is no link to purchase said tickets like all the other amusement park attractions on their page.) AAA no longer sells tickets either. Just discount on parking. 🙁

AAA does still offer a discount for Disneyland tickets. Their current price for 3 day park hopper tickets are: $243 for adults and $228.50 for ages 3-10 yrs. They also offer free parking at Disneyland, Magic Morning entrance on one morning, etc. If you are a AAA member headed to Disneyland, this is definitely a great way to go.

I clicked on the link for the 4 day park hopper plus $50 at costco, but they said that was no longer available. Here is the link to the offer they have now: https://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=11663712&whse=BC&topnav=&cat=4839&hierPath=50129*29676*4839*&lang=en-US

the price has gone up to $239.99 🙁

From what I understand, if you go with ebay and heaven forbid, get to the gate and have a problem (like the tickets are expired or fraudulent or whatever….) then you are totally out of luck.

Personally, I just wouldn’t want to risk it, but I can certainly understand the temptation. Our tickets were more expensive than our airfare!

@Kim Unfortunately, the Park Hopper tickets are only good for the person that uses them the first time, they cannot be sold or transferred to someone else. Also, the tickets usually expire 14 days after the first use. I can understand wanting to reduce the cost of your trip, but I wouldn’t do it at the expense of Disney. Sometimes its things like this that can end up raising the cost of the tickets.

Disney World has installed a fingerprint scanning system to prevent this from happening, it may only be a matter of time before Disneyland does the same.

I like your suggestion for buying discount tickets through AAA. If anyone is a member of AAA you should check with them for discounts.

We have never purchased tickets from ebay but we heard it was a great way to get unused days from another family. We recently bought 4-5 day hopper passes from AAA but were only going to be there for 4 days (bought 5 day as it wasn’t much more $$) Before we left, we placed an ad on ebay for the 4-1 day hoppers that would be left on the tickets. We made a Buy It Now for $200 for all 4 and a California resident purchased them as they were going to use them towards their purchase of annual passes. Disney will apply the full value of each ticket and give them full value credit towards their annual pass. Doing this saved us money on our trip. We paid $720 for our 4-5 day hoppers, sold the one day remaining for $200 which in turn gave us 4-4 day hoppers for $520. That works out to be $130.00 for each of my family to enjoy 4 days in Disneyland/California Adventure!!!!!
