Hi Janis! Thanks so much for visiting us here at planDisney! I can see your trip is in a little over a week - you must be getting so excited! Are your Minnie ears packed and ready to go?
At this time, the Disneyland Resort offers two types of
tickets - one for children ages 3-9 and one for adults ages 10+. While there is no special ticket pricing for senior citizens (... and this tip might be more useful for a future visit), my fellow
panelist Betsy had some experience and advice with scoring some discounted tickets through local organizations. Sometimes, big box stores will even offer discounts on Disney Gift Cards which can then be used towards ticket purchases!
While I know this is likely not the answer you were looking for, I do know that your ticket will be full of magic! You will get access to the brand new
Disney Genie Service, which you can actually start using ... now! Just download the
Disneyland Mobile App and befriend the one and only Genie. Once you open the app, you will see the section called "Get to Know Disney Genie Service". This will walk you through how to use it, but essentially you are tapping into the Genie's cosmic power and letting him know your favorite things to do. Tell him that you love Disney princesses and
galaxies far far away, that a Disney day is not complete without riding both
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and
Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and that you simply must have a Mickey beignet from the
Mint Julep Bar after your adventure on
Pirates of the Caribbean. Once he has all this information, he will deliver an itinerary that's just for YOU the morning of your arrival. He will even update the itinerary for you as you move through the park. And the best part? This is all magically complimentary!
If you are heading to Disney California Adventure Park, you are in for an extra special treat! You will get to attend the
Lunar New Year Festival! Join Tigger in celebrating the year of the Tiger, watch
Mulan's Lunar New Year Procession, dine on delicious Asian cuisine, and, if you have little ones in your party, meet Raya from
Raya and the Last Dragon for the very first time!
Janis, you are so close to the magic even I can feel it! Please feel free to
reach back out to me or any of my
magical panelist friends with any other questions.
Keep wishing on those stars,
Tara
