“To all who come to this happy place, welcome. Disneyland is your land,” Walt Disney said when he dedicated Disney’s first theme park in 1955. It’s been the company’s motto ever since, and the reason why Disney has remained the leader in family travel for seven decades and counting.
“The number-one thing we hear from the millions of guests who visit our parks each year is how much a Disney vacation means to them, and we intentionally offer a wide variety of ticket, hotel, and dining options to welcome as many families as possible, whatever their budget,” Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences, said. “We also know that, in inflationary times, it’s especially important to give families ways to save on their visits. We haven’t increased the lowest-priced ticket to Disneyland since 2019, and we recently introduced a kids’ ticket for as little as $50, just to name a couple of examples.”
Ever since opening day at Disneyland nearly 70 years ago, generations of families have been making memories with Disney that last a lifetime. And through the decades, Disney has always created new ways for guests to save on their vacations.
“We know our parks create life-long memories for families and we’ve worked hard to make a Disney vacation accessible to guests of all income levels,” Hugh Johnston, Chief Financial Officer, The Walt Disney Company, said. “With strong guest satisfaction scores and intent-to-visit ratings, our parks remain the most popular offering in the industry.”
We understand the financial pressures that families face across every part of their spending, including how they travel. We listen to our guests and use that feedback to introduce new offers and promotional deals, which provide significant savings. Here are just a few that are available right now.
A World of Options at Walt Disney World
In January, Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida announced the return of the popular Discover Disney Ticket.
The Discover Disney ticket offers Florida residents four days to visit Walt Disney World theme parks for $60 per day, plus tax. The ticket, which became available for purchase on January 7, is for visits from January 13 through May 23, 2025, with an advance park reservation (reservations subject to availability).
There’s also a three-day Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket for $225 (plus tax) – $75 per day (plus tax). Guests can use the ticket on non-consecutive days before it expires, so they can spread the magic out across more than just one visit. (Tickets are valid for one theme park per day. To offer flexibility, guests may upgrade their ticket with the Park Hopper or Water Park & Sports Options. To learn more about the Florida Resident Discover Disney Ticket, visit DisneyWorld.com.)

Nothing Compares to a Disney Vacation
Offers like a child’s ticket for as low as $50 at Disneyland can make that first trip to Disney possible for many young families. And the memories they make are one-of-a-kind.
In fact, a recent survey of 3,531 U.S. adults by Morning Consult, commissioned by the Walt Disney Company, revealed that a strong majority of families with children under five:
- Said nothing compares to a Disney vacation…
- Said that a visit to a Disney park gives memories that last a lifetime and can’t be replaced…
- …And those that had visited Disneyland or Walt Disney World felt the vacation was worth the expense
Thanks to these promotional perks and offers, there’s never been a better time to plan a visit to a Disney resort.
