If you went to sleep last night dreaming of your next Disneyland vacation, that dream just got a little more expensive.
In the wee hours of the morning Wednesday, Disneyland quietly raised prices for most ticket types by as much as $12 per day, leaving only the entry-level ticket price unchanged at $104 per day.

These Disneyland ticket price changes are effective immediately. Although the announcement was a surprise, it shouldn't be surprising. It was almost exactly one year ago that Disneyland raised prices from its 2022 levels, and 365 days before that, Disneyland hiked ticket prices from those set in 2021.
Though not quite as welcome, Disneyland ticket price increases are almost as predictable as a fairy-tale ending.
"These ticket price increases come at a time when demand remains strong, which is reflected in Disneyland's crowds. The Walt Disney Company as a whole is also investing heavily in its theme park business. Cast Member wages are going up, there are several new lands and attractions coming to Disney parks across the globe, including Disneyland," Gavin Doyle, founder of Mickey Visit, a Disney trip planning site, told TPG.
Luckily, there are still ways to save money on your next visit to Disneyland.
Here's a closer look at the previous and current adult ticket prices for Disneyland.
Disneyland organizes its ticket prices into tiers, with Tier 0 being the least expensive and Tier 6 costing the most. Keep in mind that kids ages 3 through 9 receive a discount and kids under 3 are free.
Disneyland's Magic Key Passes are also getting more expensive, effective immediately. There are four tiers of Disneyland annual passes, and each tier now costs between $100 and $125 more than last year. Each tier allows guests to pay one price for multiple visits throughout the year, but the lower-priced tiers have more blackout dates while the higher-priced tiers allow for more flexibility.
There was also a nominal increase to Disneyland's Lightning Lane add-on service. With Lightning Lane, Disneyland guests can skip the standby line and use a shorter line to get on more rides with less waiting.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass grants guests skip-the-line access to most Disneyland attractions, but there are a few high-demand attractions that require a separate Lightning Lane Single Pass purchase.
At Disneyland, you can purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass as an add-on to your vacation package, or you can purchase it on the day of your visit. You can only make Lightning Lane Single Pass purchases once you are inside the park on the day of your visit.
As of Wednesday, the price is increasing for prearrival Lightning Lane Multi Pass.

Loyal TPG reader Jonathan Phillippe is a serviceman stationed in Oman with his wife and two young children. He recently redeemed 210,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles for three business-class seats on Etihad Airways.

His 6-month-old son would travel as a lap infant with one of the adults.
A federal jury in Texas decided American Airlines can recover $9.4 million in damages from “hidden city” ticket platform Skiplagged, which continues to offer the airline’s tickets at steep discounts.
According to the popular Benjamin Franklin quote, "... nothing is certain except death and taxes." If Disney World had been around in the late 1700s, Franklin might have known there was one more certainty in life — ever-rising Disney World ticket prices.
