Hi Kirti,
Thanks so much for visiting planDisney!
It’s that time of year again! The
3-Day Disneyland Ticket Special is back! Starting December 3, California residents can purchase a 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket for only $249 total. These tickets are valid for visits between January 1 and May 21, 2026.
This time, the promotion is available to all California residents, not just those in Southern California. No need to worry about your ZIP code; as long as you have a valid California ID, you’ll be eligible to purchase the ticket. Just don’t forget to bring your ID to the park! In the past, Guests have been asked to show a Cast Member a government-issued photo ID with their name and California address to verify eligibility.
When purchasing the promotional 3-Day Tickets, you’ll be prompted to select your visit dates and the park where you’d like to start your day. There are so many great events we can anticipate for 2026 (events and dates subject to change or cancellation):
*
Lunar New Year – Mid-Jan to Mid-Feb (Disney California Adventure)
*
Celebrate Gospel – Select dates in February (Disneyland Park)
*
Food & Wine Festival – Late February to Late April (Disney California Adventure)
*
Season of the Force – March 28 to Early May (Disneyland Park)
*
70th Anniversary Celebration – Through Summer 2026 (Resort-wide)
Of these, my favorite is Lunar New Year. Last year, Minnie and Mickey could be found in traditional Korean attire, and Mushu and Mulan greeted Guests near Paradise Garden Grill. I can not wait to see what traditional outfits they sport this year. There are also lots of delicious bites and beverages to try during the festival, so be sure to purchase a
Sip and Savor Pass, which lets you sample several different items (excluding alcoholic drinks).
I hope this information helps, Kirti! If you have any other questions or need extra planning tips, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always happy to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust on your Disney planning.
Catch you in the parks!
