Can you pay the difference to change the tier on a Disneyland ticket?

The Disneyland Resort uses a ticketing tier system for standard one-day theme park tickets. This means the price of the theme park ticket will vary depending on the theme park reservation date that you select. You can certainly upgrade your ticket to a higher tier ticket after purchasing.



Yes, Disneyland Resort (California) allows you to "upgrade" a 1-day theme park ticket to a higher tier by paying the difference in price. This is a common necessity if you originally purchased a "low-demand" tier ticket (like Tier 1 or 2) but later wish to visit on a day that requires a higher tier (like Tier 5 or 6). To perform this upgrade, you must generally visit a Main Entrance Ticket Booth or contact Disney's Guest Services before the ticket expires. You cannot "downgrade" a ticket to receive a refund. Additionally, the amount paid for any wholly unused and expired ticket can be applied toward the purchase of a new ticket at the current market price, provided the new ticket cost is equal to or greater than the original amount paid. It is vital to remember that a ticket "upgrade" does not guarantee entry; you must still secure a valid park reservation for the new date, which can be difficult during peak seasons.
