Disneyland discounts are different than the type of offers you will see for Walt Disney World (Special codes, etc.) However, they do offer some great Package deals and Special promotions.
Discounts and special offers at Disneyland are commonly offered during value season but you may find discounts or special offers during the regular and peak season depending on projected park attendance.
Specials like 5 Nights for the price of 3, Adults play for the price of Kids (Kids price on Park Hopper Tickets), Resort Gift Cards, 4th Night Free, etc. tend to resurface each year. You can also find discounts for ‘Kids Fly Free’ usually through Alaska or United Airlines. Be careful of this discount since most require adults purchase a full fare ticket to qualify. Check directly with the airlines before you book this option since it may be less expensive to book 2-coach or discounted fare tickets.
Special priced packages such as the ‘Southern California Package’ are a great value if you are looking to combine a stay in Disneyland followed by a stay at another Southern California location. Disney negotiates very aggressive rates with partner hotels. This ensures that you won’t get a lower price booking the package components separately.
The key to getting a great Disneyland discount or special offer is to book early and travel off-season. If that’s not possible, Disneyland offers packages at value ‘Good Neighbor Hotels’. These are significantly less than a package at a Disneyland Resort Hotel yet it includes the same package components. If you have a large family, a Good Neighbor Hotel Suite is usually more cost effective than booking two/three rooms at a standard hotel.
Current Hotel Package Discounts
Another discount option that can be added to your package is the ‘Southern California CityPASS’. If your plans include visiting multiple California Attractions in addition to Disneyland, this may be the option for you. The ‘Southern California CityPASS’ gives you to package your Disneyland Resort tickets together with other Southern California attractions, such as Universal Studios Hollywood, SeaWorld San Diego, and LEGOLAND California Resort.
Since you only need to stay at a Disneyland Resort or Good Neighbor Hotel a minimum of 2 days with a package, this is a good option if you want to stay at Disneyland, enjoy the Parks, then check-out and stay at a San Diego hotel to use the San Diego portion of your tickets. This is also a great ticket to add on to the Southern California Magic with San Diego Package.

Senior – Discounts are offered for Seniors 60 and over on room only reservations subject to availability. These seem to be a bit more difficult to get so it’s important that you book early. You will require a valid ID at check-in to receive this discount.
Annual Pass (AP) - Availability of these discounts on room only reservations seem to be better than most. Disneyland will require your Annual Pass ID number at the time of booking so you must have the AP prior to making your reservation.
California Resident Discounts - Discounts are offered for California Residents on room only reservations subject to availability. These discounts can include only specific zip codes in California.
Southern California City Pass - If your plans include multiple California attractions, this may be the ticket for you and does not require booking a Disneyland package to purchase this ticket. The ‘Southern California City Pass’ gives you admission to multiple entertainment venues for one price.
Advance Tickets – Sometimes, you can save money on multi-day Disneyland tickets by purchasing your tickets in advance at www.disneyland.com . Also during value season, the Disneyland Resort may offer other discounts.
