Disneyland tickets are expensive. That is not a controversial statement, and it is not going to change anytime soon. But Disney just dropped a summer promotion for children that meaningfully lowers the cost of a Park Hopper visit, and families who are planning a California trip between now and September need to know about it before the reservation availability runs out.
Children ages 3 to 9 can now get a one-day Park Hopper ticket to Disneyland Resort for just $50. That price includes access to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure on the same day, with Park Hopper already built into the ticket price rather than added as an extra fee.
The deal launched on May 22 and runs through September 7 2026 covering the entire summer season.
The Full Disneyland Pricing
Three ticket options are available under the promotion. The one-day Park Hopper is $50 per child. The two-day Park Hopper is $100 per child and is valid for thirteen days after first use or until September 7, whichever comes first. The three-day Park Hopper is $150 per child with the same thirteen-day validity window.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass can be added to any of these options for an additional fee at the time of purchase for families who want to minimize standby wait times on top of the discounted ticket price.
The One Thing Families Need to Know Before Buying
Park reservations are required in addition to these tickets, and the promotion specifically notes that theme park reservations for the Kids Summer Ticket Offer are limited and subject to availability. That is not standard boilerplate language. It means the reservation allotment tied to this specific promotion is not unlimited, and dates could fill before tickets stop being available for purchase.
The right sequence is to check reservation availability for target dates before completing the ticket purchase. Buying tickets without first confirming reservations are available for those specific dates creates a situation where you have paid for tickets you cannot use on the days you planned to go.
Guests under 14 must be accompanied by someone 14 or older to enter the parks. Children under 7 need someone 14 or older to board any attraction.
What Is at Disneyland This Summer
The summer 2026 lineup at Disneyland Resort gives these tickets real things to use them on. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is running and drawing strong reactions from guests. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance continues to be one of the most technically impressive attraction experiences in any Disney park. Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure puts Marvel characters and attractions together in a land that works particularly well for families. Radiator Springs Racers remains one of the most beautifully designed rides at the resort. Classic attractions and nighttime spectaculars round out a summer season that has broad appeal across the three-to-nine age range this promotion is specifically built for.
