The cheapest days to go to Disneyland are dates with a Tier 0 one-day ticket, currently $104 for an adult ages 10 and older. For the rest of 2026, the remaining $104 dates are November 2–5 and November 9–12.
More $104 dates return in early 2027, particularly on weekdays in January, February and early March. Disneyland’s highest-priced one-day ticket currently costs $224, so choosing a Tier 0 date instead can save $120 per adult ticket before you change anything else about the trip.
The key is to look at Disneyland’s date-based ticket calendar rather than assume that one particular weekday or month will always be cheapest.
Cheapest Disneyland Dates Remaining in 2026
As of October 2026, these are the remaining dates with Disneyland’s lowest-priced $104 Tier 0 adult ticket:
| Month | $104 Disneyland Dates |
|---|---|
| October 2026 | None remaining |
| November 2026 | November 2–5 and November 9–12 |
| December 2026 | None |
If your schedule is flexible, those early-November dates are the cheapest standard one-day Disneyland tickets left in 2026.
The next-cheapest option is Tier 1 at $134. November 17 and 18 are currently Tier 1 dates, making them another option if the $104 dates don’t work for your trip.
Cheapest Disneyland Dates in Early 2027
Disneyland’s current calendar also shows another large group of $104 dates in early 2027.
| Month | Current $104 Dates |
|---|---|
| January 2027 | January 7, 11–14, 19–21 and 25–28 |
| February 2027 | February 1–4, 9–11, 16–18 and 22–25 |
| March 2027 | March 1–4 |
That makes January and February particularly strong months if the lowest possible one-day ticket price is your priority.
Some of those dates can come with tradeoffs such as shorter park hours, refurbishments or separately ticketed evening events, so I would still check the operating calendar before choosing purely by price.
Disneyland 1-Day Ticket Tiers and Prices
Disneyland currently has seven price tiers for one-day tickets. The park you visit doesn’t change the base tier price: a one-day, one-park ticket can be used for either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure, subject to the appropriate reservation.
| 1-Day Ticket Tier | Adult Price |
|---|---|
| Tier 0 | $104 |
| Tier 1 | $134 |
| Tier 2 | $154 |
| Tier 3 | $174 |
| Tier 4 | $189 |
| Tier 5 | $199 |
| Tier 6 | $224 |
That is a $120 difference between the cheapest and most expensive adult one-day tickets.
For a family buying several tickets, shifting the visit by only a few days can therefore matter much more than finding a small percentage discount elsewhere.
My Disneyland ticket prices guide covers the full pricing structure if you want more than the cheapest-date comparison.
What Is the Cheapest Time to Go to Disneyland?
The cheapest periods tend to be weekdays outside major school breaks and holidays. Disney itself recommends looking at weekdays and non-holiday dates when searching its calendar for the most affordable tickets.
The current ticket calendar particularly favors:
- January after the holiday season
- February weekdays
- Selected spring weekdays
- Early June weekdays in some years
- September weekdays
- Early November before the busiest holiday period
I would not treat that as a permanent calendar. Disneyland can assign different tiers from year to year, so the actual ticket calendar is always more useful than a generic rule about a month.
What Is the Cheapest Month to Go to Disneyland?
There isn’t one month that is guaranteed to be cheapest every year. Instead, look for months containing the largest clusters of Tier 0 dates.
For the current calendar, January and February 2027 have especially strong concentrations of $104 tickets. In 2026, September and early November also contained numerous Tier 0 dates.
That is a more useful way to think about Disneyland pricing than simply saying “January is cheapest” or “September is cheapest.” The actual date determines the one-day price.
Are Weekdays Cheaper Than Weekends at Disneyland?
Usually, yes. Disneyland’s cheapest dates are heavily concentrated on weekdays because those dates generally have lower expected demand.
Tuesday through Thursday appear frequently among Tier 0 dates, but Monday can also be inexpensive. The important point is that there is no rule saying a Tuesday must cost less than every Sunday or Monday.
Check the surrounding dates before booking. Moving a trip by one or two days can sometimes push the ticket into a lower tier.
Cheapest Does Not Always Mean Least Crowded
A lower ticket tier is a useful signal that Disney expects less demand, but a $104 ticket does not guarantee an empty park.
Special events, attraction openings, weather, school calendars and the simple fact that other visitors are also targeting cheap dates can all affect how the park feels once you’re inside.
If your priority is crowds rather than ticket price, use my separate guide to the best times to go to Disneyland. I would keep the two decisions separate: use this page to find the cheapest admission, then use the crowd guide to compare the experience on those candidate dates.
How Much Can Choosing a Cheap Disneyland Day Save?
The difference can be substantial because a Tier 0 adult ticket currently costs $104 while a Tier 6 ticket costs $224.
| Party | Tier 0 at $104 | Tier 6 at $224 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 adult | $104 | $224 | $120 |
| 2 adults | $208 | $448 | $240 |
| 4 adults | $416 | $896 | $480 |
| 6 adults | $624 | $1,344 | $720 |
That is why I would choose the travel date before spending too much time hunting for small ticket discounts. Date flexibility can potentially save more than the discount itself.
Does Tier Pricing Apply to Multi-Day Disneyland Tickets?
The date-based Tier 0 through Tier 6 system applies to Disneyland’s one-day tickets. Multi-day tickets use a different pricing structure rather than assigning each park day one of these seven one-day tiers.
If you’re planning several park days, comparing the total multi-day ticket may be more useful than trying to build the trip entirely around $104 one-day dates.
See my Disneyland multi-day ticket guide if you’re deciding between several single-day visits and a multi-day ticket.
Should You Add Park Hopper on a Cheap Day?
Finding a $104 ticket doesn’t necessarily mean you should immediately add upgrades.
If the goal is the cheapest possible Disneyland day, a one-park ticket keeps the savings intact. Park Hopper makes more sense when you have a specific reason to visit both parks rather than simply adding it for flexibility.
I break that decision down separately in is Disneyland Park Hopper worth it?
What About Lightning Lane on a Cheap Disneyland Day?
I would make the same decision independently.
A low ticket tier doesn’t automatically mean standby lines will be short enough that Lightning Lane has no value. But if you’re choosing the cheapest date primarily to reduce the trip cost, adding every optional upgrade can quickly erase the savings.
If shorter waits matter more than keeping the absolute lowest total, see my guide to whether Lightning Lane is worth it at Disneyland.
How to Find the Cheapest Disneyland Dates Yourself
I would use this process before committing to travel dates:
- Open Disneyland’s official ticket and park reservation calendar.
- Compare several weeks instead of checking only one date.
- Look first for Tier 0 dates, then Tier 1 if your schedule doesn’t work.
- Compare neighboring weekdays because moving the trip a day or two can lower the ticket tier.
- Check park hours, refurbishments and special events before choosing solely by price.
- Confirm park reservation availability before finalizing the visit.
Disney requires valid admission and an appropriate park reservation for each park day, and reservation availability can change. Check Disney’s official ticket and park reservation page before purchasing.
The Cheapest Time to Visit Disneyland
The absolute cheapest Disneyland dates are Tier 0 days, currently $104 for a one-day adult ticket. For the rest of 2026, those dates are November 2–5 and November 9–12. More $104 dates return throughout January and February 2027 and into early March.
If you have flexible travel dates, start with those low-tier dates before worrying about ticket upgrades or minor discounts. Moving the trip from a $224 Tier 6 day to a $104 Tier 0 day can save $120 per adult without changing which Disneyland theme park you visit.
Then compare those cheap dates against your crowd and operating-hours priorities. The cheapest date and the best date for your particular trip are not always the same thing.
