Hey there, Callee!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for coming to us with your question. I used to live in Southern California and was close enough to Disneyland Park to hear the fireworks going off every night during the summer. I have really fond memories of that time and there's just something special about having the Disneyland Resort in such close proximity.
The Special
Southern California Resident Ticket Offer is a really wonderful deal for locals! You get a 3 Day, 1 Park Per Day Ticket for a great price and it may be used on nonconsecutive days until its expiration on June 2, 2024. In order to take advantage of this deal, each Guest must present a valid government-issued photo ID for admission and the Cast Members will ask for ID when the ticket is activated. Therefore, this deal would not work for your out of state family, I'm afraid.
I'm sorry if that's not the answer for which you were hoping. If there are any children in your party, there is a
Kids' Special Ticket Offer that is going on until March 10, 2024. In order to better plan your visit, take a look at the
Events Calendar for 2024. There are special events going on all throughout the year! It's currently the
Lunar New Year Festival in Disney California Adventure and will last until February 18.
Fun Fact: It's the Year of the Dragon at the Lunar New Year Festival! One of Disney's most iconic dragons has to be Maleficent's transformation at the end of
Sleeping Beauty.
Eleanor Audley, the voice actress behind Maleficent, also voiced Lady Tremaine in
Cinderella as well as Madame Leota in Disneyland Park's Haunted Mansion!
Callee, I hope that you are able to plan a magical trip to the Happiest Place on Earth with your family! Please let us know if there is there are any other questions you might have for us. You're always welcome at planDisney!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
