If you have been looking for a reason to finally take the kids to Disneyland, this might be the most compelling one we have ever seen. Disneyland Resort has brought back its beloved Kids’ Summer Ticket Offer for 2026, and at just $50 per child per day, it is one of the best deals in the park’s recent history.
Tickets are already on sale. Here is everything you need to know before you get your Disneyland tickets.
What Is the Disneyland Kids’ Summer Ticket 2026?
For a limited time, children ages 3 to 9 can visit both Disneyland Resort theme parks, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, for as low as $50 per child per day. The 1-Day ticket includes Park Hopper access, meaning kids get both parks for that price. Multi-day options are also available.
To put that in perspective: standard children’s tickets to Disneyland can run well over $150 per day depending on the date. This offer represents savings of up to $100 or more per child, per day.
Ticket Options and Pricing
- 1-Day Park Hopper: $50 per child
- 2-Day Park Hopper: $100 per child ($50 per day)
- 3-Day Park Hopper: $150 per child ($50 per day)
All options include Park Hopper access to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. Lightning Lane Multi Pass can be added for an additional fee.
Who Qualifies?
This offer is valid for children ages 3 through 9 only. Children under age 3 do not need a ticket and enter free. Guests ages 10 and older will need to purchase a standard adult ticket separately.
You may purchase up to 10 Kids’ Summer Tickets per day.

Valid Dates
The Kids’ Summer Ticket Offer is valid for visits beginning May 22, 2026 through September 7, 2026. Multi-day tickets expire 13 days after the first day of use or on September 7, 2026, whichever comes first. Tickets may be used on non-consecutive days.
You Will Need Park Reservations
This is one of the most important things to understand before purchasing. At Disneyland Resort, all guests must have both a valid ticket and a theme park reservation for the same park on the same date in order to enter. This is different from Walt Disney World, where standard date-based tickets no longer require a separate park reservation.
There is an additional possible wrinkle specific to this offer: park reservations for Kids’ Summer Ticket holders are allocated separately from general ticket reservations, and that allocation is limited. On any given date, reservations may still be available for standard ticket holders even after the Kids’ Summer Ticket reservation pool is fully booked. Kids’ Summer Ticket holders are not entitled to reservations made available to other guests.
Our strong advice: check reservation availability for your preferred dates before purchasing, and make your reservations as soon as possible after buying your tickets. Popular dates, especially around Fourth of July and the first weeks of summer, will go fast. If you can’t find a reservation, don’t give up hope. People change and cancel theme park reservations all of the time, so if you’re refreshing, you have a good chance finding what you need.
Important Restrictions
- Valid for children ages 3 to 9 only.
- Park reservations are required and subject to limited availability for this ticket type.
- Tickets are non-refundable and may not be transferred for commercial use.
- Cannot be combined with other ticket discounts or promotions.
- Excludes separately priced activities and events.

Who Is This Deal Best For?
Families with Young Kids Ages 3 to 9
If your kids are age 9 and younger, you are in the sweet spot for this deal. If you have preschoolers or early elementary-age kids, your per-child ticket cost just dropped dramatically. And remember, kids ages two and younger go free! The savings at this age range are substantial this summer, especially over multiple days.
First-Time Disneyland Families
Disneyland is a bucket-list destination, and the ticket price can be a significant barrier. This offer removes a lot of that friction for families with young children. If you have been putting off the trip, now is the time.
Out-of-State Families Planning a Summer Visit
The deal runs through the entire summer break window, making it very accessible for families who need to plan around school schedules. Whether you are local to Southern California or flying in from across the country, the timing works.
Grandparents Taking the Grandkids
Multi-generational Disneyland trips are some of the most magical, and this offer makes it far more financially feasible to bring young grandchildren along without the adult ticket costs eating up the entire budget.
Families Who Want Both Parks
If you like to Park Hop, you’ll love that Park Hopping is included in these tickets. That is especially valuable given how much there is to see across both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, including Avengers Campus, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Radiator Springs Racers, and the returning World of Color nighttime spectacular.

What Is New at Disneyland This Summer?
Summer 2026 is a particularly exciting time to visit. Disneyland is celebrating its 70th Anniversary, and the parks are packed with special experiences. Bluey and Bingo are appearing with live stage entertainment. New experiences are on the way, including new Mando and Grogu missions on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run starting May 22 and Soarin’ Across America launching at Disney California Adventure on July 2. The Paint the Night parade and nighttime fireworks are running throughout the summer as well.
Can You Save on Hotels Too?
Yes. Disneyland Resort is offering up to 25% off select stays of four nights or more at Disneyland Resort Hotels for visits from May 22 through September 7, 2026, the same window as the kids’ ticket deal. Pairing both offers together can significantly reduce the total cost of an on-site family vacation.
Ready to Make This Summer Magical?
The Disneyland Kids’ Summer Ticket Offer is a genuinely exceptional deal, but it comes with possible constraints around park reservations. The most popular dates will fill quickly, so planning ahead is essential.
