It’s hard to visit Disneyland these days without feeling significant pain in your wallet. Ticket prices have skyrockets over the years, making it a tourist destination only saving up or decent wealth can afford. But Disneyland is currently putting forth a deal to potentially alleviate some of that financial stress. Starting October 24th, admission for children ages 3 to 9 will only cost $50.
There’s something to be said of Walt Disney‘s dream to allow admission to all becoming a cash-draining experience. The drop in price for children is from a $104 price tag. And general admission for adults is a maximum of $189, without taking into consideration sales tax or add-ons like park hoppers. Add the purchase of food and souvenirs, and you’re still looking at roughly a $300 – $400 dollar day or more.
The discount will be available through March of 2024. So there’s still some incentive to make a visit with your kids without paying one hundred bucks a pop. But for the rest of those park-goers without them, you’re still looking at a money suck. Which isn’t to say we don’t like Disneyland. Quite the contrary. There are just those of us who remember the days when a park ticket cost roughly $70 or lower with deals. And it’s sad to see the park become more exclusionary than inclusive.
Especially with deals or passes that only the very privileged can afford. Like the Disneyland Inspire Key pass that costs $1600 dollars. Which offers rewards for its users that put them well above your average park-goer.
