Having The Right Friends Will Save You Money At Disneyland This Summer

(Courtesy Disney)

One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

If there's a Disneyland fanatic in your life and you want to visit the Anaheim amusement park on the cheap this summer, now's the time to butter them up.

This week, Disneyland announced a new deal for its annual passholders: bring a friend and they'll get in with a one-day park hopper ticket for $99, compared to the usual one-day park hopper price of $199 for a friendless adult. The offer runs through Aug. 30.

In Disney bucks, with its inflated exchange rate over the U.S. dollar, that might count as a steal. According to Disneyland, you can buy up to three tickets per day at that friend price.

But heads up, annual passholders: if you're blocked on the day you want to go, you can still get your friend(s) in for $99, but you'll also have to pay that price for entry.

So assemble your squad for a trip to the new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, or avoid that galactic gridlock and take advantage of shorter lines at other rides throughout the park.

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
