Getting access to the happiest place on earth just got a little more expensive: Disneyland is hiking up prices on its annual passes, the Orange County Register reported Sunday.
In addition to getting rid of the $799 Premium Annual Passport, which had no blackout dates, the park raised prices on both lower-tier and upper-tier annual passes. The two new upper-tier passes are called Signature Plus (which costs $1,049 and has no blackout dates), and the Disney Signature (which runs at $849 and works for almost every day excluding the winter holiday, Disneyland’s most popular season).
The two types of passes also include other perks like a PhotoPass which allows for unlimited digital downloads of photos taken around the park, including with characters and on rides. They also come with parking and discounts on food and merchandise around the park.
The highest priced pass, Premier, which also allows access to the Florida Disney park, now costs $1,439. And for Disney fanatics who currently have Premium passes, they are valid until they expire, but users aren’t allowed to renew.
The park is currently celebrating its 60th year and is moving forward with plans to start construction on a Star Wars land.
Can't afford an annual pass or even a day pass? If you're up for a day trip, some attractions in San Diego—including the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld San Diego and LegoLand—have opted to go the opposite route of Disneyland and are offering free entrance for kids 10 and under during the month of October.
A complete breakdown of the new annual pass options are below:
- Premier: $1,439 (Walt Disney World and Disneyland)
