In addition to annual passes and special offers to Southern California residents, Disneyland Resort regularly offers ticket discounts for admission to its two theme parks, Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure. These discount Disneyland tickets can equal sizeable savings for non-local Disney guests who travel to Anaheim to its Disney theme parks.
What’s distinct about these Disney discounts, as opposed to Walt Disney World, Disneyland’s sister resort in Orlando, is that Disneyland Resort frequently offers ticket-only discounts to attract non-local visitors. The only catch? The tickets need to be ordered online through the Disneyland website. They are not available at the Disneyland ticket booths.
Here are Disneyland Resort’s 2010 ticket discounts and special offers. Readers may also be interested in learning more about 2011 discount tickets to Disneyland.

Disney recommends guests who take advantage of Magic Morning Admission arrive at least one hour and fifteen minutes before regular park hours.
Disney guests can buy these discount tickets through the official Disneyland Resort tickets and reservations website. There, they may examine other discounts or special offers, such as annual passes or options for Southern California residents (if applicable).
