Hi Nancy, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you're keeping an eye on the upcoming special offer for California residents. Visiting the Disneyland Resort with a
3-Day Park Hopper Ticket for just $83 per day is a great way to start the new year.
The 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket for California residents is expected to go on sale starting Wednesday, December 3, 2025. However, a time hasn't been specified for when the tickets will become available online. I'd suggest
checking the website the day before to see if any additional information has been shared. Otherwise, check it the morning of, and periodically throughout the day if necessary, to get your tickets.
In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to get ready.
- Make sure your MyDisney account is updated with your correct address – to be eligible for this offer, you must reside within ZIP codes 90000 – 96199.
- Decide how many tickets you'll purchase and which name you'll assign to each one. Keep in mind that eligible residents may purchase up to five of these tickets per day, and each person using this ticket for admission must show a government-issued photo ID to confirm eligible residency.
- Think about which dates and starting park you'd like to reserve, since you'll make selections as part of the purchase process. Your reservations can be adjusted after the purchase is complete, but it's great to try and secure the dates you want as soon as possible.
The 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket for California residents is a great deal. You can use the three days of the ticket consecutively (subject to reservation availability) or space them out from January 1 through May 21, 2026. Since these are
Park Hopper tickets, you'll be able to enter either Disneyland or California Adventure after 11 a.m., regardless of which park you reserved (subject to capacity limitations and operational hours).
Based on my experience purchasing
special-offer tickets like these in the past, you shouldn’t have trouble getting tickets early in the sale period. The real benefit of buying them as soon as they become available is securing your theme park reservations for popular days, which may become unavailable closer to your visit. Now, if you're interested in special event tickets like
Disneyland After Dark, you'll want to get those as early as possible. These limited-capacity special events often sell out.
Nancy, I'm so excited for you to experience three full days of fun at the Disneyland Resort. If you have any other questions, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
