Hello there, Karen, and welcome to planDisney!
We're so glad that you came to us with your question and I see that you're contemplating a trip to the Disneyland Resort! You've certainly come to the right place and I'd be happy to discuss tickets and ticket prices with you in order to clear up some confusion.
If you've been looking at Disneyland Resort
Theme Park Tickets, then you'll have seen that you can purchase either a 1-Day or a Multi-Day Ticket (up to 5 days). For multi-day tickets, the price per day decreases as you increase the number of days on the ticket. There are no blockout dates for multi-day tickets, so if you have to change your reservation dates, you are allowed to change to any date before the ticket expires.
1-Day Tickets are a bit more complicated in that they are subject to a
Tier System. The price will depend on the day that you select, and higher tier days would be blocked out if you decide that you want to reschedule your reservations. You would need to upgrade your ticket to a higher tier and pay the difference in cost.
What you're seeing is likely the comparison in cost between a 2-Day Ticket and the price of two lower tier 1-Day tickets. Sometimes, it does work out to be more cost effective to purchase two 1-Day Tickets but you lose the freedom that you'd have with a multi-day ticket.
Now with all that boring stuff out of the way, when are you going to be visiting? The rest of the year is stacked with exciting events and celebrations! After Halloween Time ends on October 31, 2024, the
Holiday Season officially begins on November 15, 2024 as well as the Grand Opening of
Tiana's Bayou Adventure. I'm so excited for this attraction to make its West Coast debut. And if that's not enough, next year is Disneyland Park's 70th Anniversary! I can't wait to see what they announce for this!
Karen, I hope this was helpful in your decision making. I wish you the best as you plan your trip and please reach out to us again if you have more questions. We'd love to hear from you and you're always welcome here!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
