Disneyland tickets just got more expensive — and parking too

A trip to see Mickey Mouse will cost you even more now.

Disney on Monday announced new ticket prices for its California theme parks, upping the costs for all but the most basic of tickets.

It’s the first ticket price increase since the Anaheim parks reopened in April after closing due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Disneyland Resort prices already vary depending on a few factors, including how many days visitors are attending the theme park and whether the ticket are Parkhoppers, which offer the ability to jump back and forth between Disneyland and its sister park, Disney California Adventure Park.

The resort’s tiering system dictates ticket prices depending on demand. Tickets for popular times such as weekends, summer and winter holidays are more expensive.

On Monday, Disney increased the price for all but its most basic, Tier 1 one-day, one-park ticket, which still costs $104.

Prices for higher tier single-day, single park tickets all increased to between $119 to $159, with the company adding a new, most-expensive tier.

Tier 6, which will be reserved for the highest demand days, costs a whopping $164 for one-day, one-park access. It is expected to be rolled out in March.

Parkhopper prices also increased to $164 to $224 per ticket. Meanwhile, multi-day ticket prices jumped to $255 for the cheapest option — a two-day, one-park ticket — and $390 for the most expensive, three-day Parkhopper pass.

It now also costs more to leave your car at one of the House of Mouse’s many parking structures.

The company increased the price to park at the Mickey Mouse and Friends and Pixar Pals parking structures, as well as the Toy Story Parking Area, from $25 to $30.

Monday’s announcement comes after the Walt Disney Resorts theme parks retired its annual pass system in favor of so-called Magic Keys, which require reservations before visiting the parks.

The company also recently dropped its free FastPass system in favor of a new system that will require guests to pay if they want to skip to the front of the line.
