Families planning a Disneyland trip during one of the busiest times of the year may have another way to save on the cost of admission.
A new limited-time offer at Costco could help visitors save hundreds of dollars on a two-day trip, including access to a popular add-on that would otherwise make a Disneyland visit significantly more expensive.
But there’s a catch.
Costco brings back its Disneyland Resort ticket deal
Costco (COST) has brought back its The Walt Disney Company (DIS) Disneyland Resort ticket deal, giving customers a chance to save on admission during Disneyland’s Halloween and holiday seasons.
The deal costs $329.99 and includes a 2-Day Park Hopper ticket, Lightning Lane Multi Pass for both visits, and a $60 Disney dining card, according to theme park content creator Kel Warner, known as @themeparkmomlife on Instagram.
The tickets are valid from Oct. 2 through Dec. 18, 2026, and can be used only at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. They do not apply to Walt Disney World’s parks in Orlando or Disney parks outside the U.S.
The timing of the offer is significant for families planning fall and holiday trips, when Disneyland typically sees strong demand for its park and attractions.
The latest offer also compares favorably with Costco’s previous Disneyland deal.
The most recent Costco ticket offer was available from Jan. 8 through June 12, 2026, and included a 2-Day Disneyland Park Hopper ticket with Lightning Lane Multi Pass for $389.99, according to Disney Tourist Blog.
That means the current offer costs $60 less than the earlier deal while also including the $60 Disney dining card.
At first glance, that makes the new offer particularly appealing for families trying to manage the rising cost of a Disneyland trip. However, visitors should understand the restrictions before purchasing.
The fine print reveals a catch behind the Disneyland ticket offer
The deal comes with several restrictions that could affect its usefulness for travelers with less-flexible schedules.
Once a guest uses the first day of the ticket, the second day must be used within 13 days, or the ticket will expire, according to the ticket terms.
Guests also need a theme park reservation for each visit. Reservations are subject to availability, which means purchasing the discounted ticket does not guarantee that a guest will be able to reserve their preferred park or date.
The reservation requirement could be especially important for visitors planning to travel during Disneyland’s Halloween and holiday seasons, when demand for park reservations can be higher.
The tickets are also nonrefundable at the time of purchase at Costco.
Each ticket is intended for one guest, meaning the two days cannot be divided between two different people. There is also a limit of 20 ticket purchases per Costco member.
For families purchasing several tickets, these terms are worth considering before committing to the offer.

How much money does the Costco Disneyland deal save customers?
The biggest draw of the offer is the potential savings.
Disneyland currently lists a 2-Day Park Hopper ticket for one adult at $445 on its website.
The Lightning Lane Multi Pass costs $70 for the two-day visit, bringing the combined cost of admission and Lightning Lane access to $515.

With the $60 Disney dining card included, the components have a combined value of about $575. At $329.99, the Costco offer provides potential savings of approximately $245 per person.
For a family purchasing multiple tickets, the difference can add up quickly.
However, the savings depend on the travelers being able to use both days within the required period and secure the necessary theme park reservations.
Disneyland’s ticket terms also state that a ticket expires 13 days after its first use or Jan. 12, 2028, whichever comes first. If a ticket expires, Disney says its value may be applied toward the purchase of a new ticket at the current price, provided the new ticket costs at least as much as the original ticket.
Guests also need both a valid admission and a theme park reservation to enter a Disneyland theme park on a given day.
Disney notes that reservations are limited and depend on the availability of reservations allocated to park tickets and overall theme park capacity. A reservation is not guaranteed simply because a guest has purchased a ticket.
Disney has raised Disneyland ticket prices
The potential value of the Costco offer comes as the cost of visiting Disney parks has continued to increase.
Disneyland ticket prices vary depending on factors, including the date of a visit, and multi-day Park Hopper tickets have become more expensive compared with 2025, according to MiceChat.
The changes include:
2-Day Park Hopper: $435 to $445, an increase of $10
3-Day Park Hopper: $535 to $550, an increase of $15
4-Day Park Hopper: $600 to $610, an increase of $10
5-Day Park Hopper: $655 to $660, an increase of $5
Prices for Magic Keys, parking, Lightning Lane, and multi-day base tickets remained unchanged in the pricing update cited by MiceChat.
For travelers already planning a Disneyland trip between now and Dec. 18, the Costco offer provides a potentially significant discount compared with buying the admission, Lightning Lane access, and dining benefit separately.
Still, the savings come with the important condition that customers need to make sure their travel plans fall within the ticket’s usage window and that the necessary theme park reservations are available.
