What month is Disneyland cheapest?

Although the cost of admission to Disneyland changes throughout the year, the cheapest time to go to Disneyland is during the off-peak season. This is generally between mid-January and February, or September through mid-November.



Historically and through 2026, the cheapest months to visit Disneyland in California are January and September. Specifically, the weeks following the mid-January Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday and the period immediately following Labor Day in September feature the lowest ticket tiers. Disney utilizes a "Tiered Pricing" model where one-day tickets are significantly cheaper (Tier 0) on low-demand weekdays when most children are in school. In 2026, "Value" dates can see tickets as low as $104, whereas peak holiday dates in December or July can soar to nearly $200. February (excluding Presidents' Day week) and early November (before the Thanksgiving rush) also offer lower-priced tickets and reduced hotel rates. To find the absolute lowest cost, look for the "Tier 0" calendar on the official Disneyland website, which typically targets Tuesdays and Wednesdays in these off-peak months.
