The biggest sale of the year is here for a very limited time for Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Universal tickets. Plus, you can double bundle and save up to an additional $100 off Disneyland Resort vacation packages. Here are the details about how you can save big on multi-day tickets, along with answers to frequently asked questions about saving money.
We’ll cut to the chase: Get Away Today, our recommended authorized third party ticket seller, is running their popular Adults at Kids’ Prices ticket deal for Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, and Legoland. This even includes Universal Orlando tickets with 1-day at Epic Universe.
This deal runs through Wednesday, August 13, 2025 and is valid for travel dates through the end of this year or 2026, depending upon the destination and ticket type. The additional upside to this if you aren’t traveling soon is that you can lock-in current prices and avoid future price increases that will likely occur later this year (more on that deeper in the post). These are even eligible for Halloween and Christmas travel dates, at times when special offers on tickets directly from Disney are much less likely.
The Adults at Kids Prices ticket deal is not the main promo that’s currently available, though. To really sweeten the deal, you can save up to an additional $100 off of Disneyland Resort vacation packages that include tickets and hotel reservations. The savings vary by duration, and the discount applies automatically at checkout. This flash sale runs only through August 3, 2025, so act fast to take advantage.
To save even more, combine both of these deals with with any of the ‘Extra Night Free Hotel’ deals that are available at select hotels near Disneyland. All three of those deals can be stacked, so choose your hotels wisely (since the extra night free promo isn’t available everywhere) and you can save massive amounts. Click here to book via Get Away Today.
My recommendation is using the ‘Hotels with Free Nights’ filter on the left sidebar to narrow your search to include only the options with bonus nights. In our view, it’s the 1-2-3 punch of the ticket discounts plus the extra night free plus the extra package savings on walking distance hotels at Disneyland that really make this. The ticket deals for Walt Disney World and Universal are good (especially for the last ~3 months of the year), but not so far superior to what we’ve seen lately to warrant this post. This is really about the bundled savings.
Here’s a partial list of the hotels near Disneyland we like that offer extra nights free:
- Westin Anaheim
- Anaheim Portofino Inn
- Clarion Hotel
- Hotel Lulu Anaheim
- The Viv Hotel
- SunCoast Park Hotel
- Fairfield Inn Anaheim Resort
- Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim
To read more about those and many other options, consult our Anaheim Hotel Reviews & Rankings post for our favorite hotels in the area. We’ve stayed in and reviewed 50+ hotels near Disneyland. Those rankings received a massive update just before the start of the Disneyland 70th Anniversary, and should give you a good idea of the pros & cons of each of the above hotels.
With all of that covered, we’ll answer a few common questions about this hotel & ticket deals (the Walt Disney World and Universal components of the offer are more straightforward, so there’s an emphasis on Disneyland)…
Where are the best places to stay during this deal?
What I’ll quickly add is that the Westin Anaheim is among a trio of hotels where we stay most often for our own, non-research trips. That’s typically where we stay if spending a good mix of time at the resort and in the parks, as it’s one of the few luxury properties in Anaheim. The Westin stacks up favorably to the Grand Californian in that regard, minus the themed design. We’d put it ahead of both Disneyland Hotel and Pixar Place Hotel.
Our other two personal favorites are the Element Anaheim and Tropicana Inn, neither of which are on that list. However, I would say that the SunCoast Park Hotel is a satisfactory proxy for the Element, and the Fairfield Inn Anaheim is likewise a sufficient stand-in for the Tropicana. Neither are as good as their counterparts, but if bang-for-buck is top of mind, they’re close enough.
If you’re really looking to stretch your vacation dollars further, you might also consider the Clarion. We just stayed there in July 2025, and were pleasantly surprised. It’s clearly an older hotel and a longer walk to the parks, but the rooms are spacious and it has interior hallways. We both agreed that we’d prefer paying a bit more for a nicer hotel, but you can’t beat the low cost. It’s very good for its price point.
If you’re doing a Southern California vacation beyond Disneyland, we’d highly recommend the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa. This is one of the nicest hotels in the beach cities, and one of the few that’s a true resort situated on a massive parcel of land. We have a lot of experience with hotels in the OC beach cities, and this one is top notch. It’s actually unbeatable for the price, as there are only a handful of ‘resort’ experiences on par with this, such as the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point/Laguna Niguel and Montage Laguna Beach. All of the alternatives cost over $1,000 per night. Read and see more in our Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort Review.
Will ticket prices be cheaper during Black Friday sales?
Probably not. Get Away Today always has a Black Friday sale, and it’s usually pretty good. In addition to that, it’s likely the Kids’ Special Ticket Offer will return for January through March 2026 around Thanksgiving. Last year, that stacked with Black Friday promos offered significant savings.
The problem is that ticket prices will almost certainly go up before Black Friday. The current pre-increase prices will probably be better than Black Friday sales. The good news is that there’s usually a window between when the price increase is announced and when authorized sellers, like Get Away Today, run out of their old ticket inventory. During that time, they’ll usually indicate whether the pre-increase price or Black Friday sales will be superior.
Are there deals on 1-day tickets?
No. Authorized ticket sellers don’t offer any savings on 1-day tickets for either Disneyland or Walt Disney World. You might as well buy directly from Disney.
This particular deal is only for tickets that are 3-days and longer, but Get Away Today and other authorized ticket sellers also offer deals on 2-day tickets. The savings aren’t great, but it’s better than nothing.
If prices go up again between now and my travel dates, do I have to pay the difference?
No. The beauty of buying now to lock-in prices is that you safeguard against future price increases.
Is Lightning Lane Multi-Pass worth it?
Maybe. The shorter the trip, the more likely we are to recommend the Lightning Lane Multi-Pass add-on. If you’re doing a longer trip and you don’t care as much about repeating rides, we’re less inclined to recommend it. We are also more inclined to recommend LLMP if you’re spending a disproportionate amount of time in Disney California Adventure; Lightning Lanes are much more “necessary” at DCA than Disneyland.
If you’ll want LLMP every day, it’s a no brainer. The advance purchase length-of-ticket add-on will save you more money and be more convenient than purchasing it each day. You’ll pay $32 per day instead of no less than $36, which is has been the new baseline. This is also the pre-price increase cost–we’re fully expecting LLMP to hit $40 to $50 during the peak season around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and NYE.
Lightning Lane Multi-Pass works incredibly well at Disneyland Resort, which is both an argument for and against buying it length of stay. Most days, you will be able to secure Lightning Lane selections for most popular attractions, saving several hours as compared to waiting in the standby lines.
The last time we tested Lightning Lane Multi-Pass at Disneyland and DCA, we were easily able to make ride reservations for over one-dozen attractions, saving roughly over 6 hours in line. Accordingly, it offers great value and strategic advantage. Conversely, LLMP makes it easy to have 1-2 days when you “go hard” on rides, followed by more relaxed days where LLMP is no longer necessary. Paying as you go means only buying it for a couple days, and skipping it the rest, which could still save money over length-of-stay.
You can accomplish a lot without LLMP and with savvy strategy, such as using our Disney Theme Park Itineraries or Early Entry at Disneyland. Lightning Lanes enable you to ride many more attractions and get a lot more bang for your buck. In the end, we recommend using a variety of strategies to experience headliners via the Lightning Lanes and standby lines when wait times are lower! We also cover everything you need to know in our Guide to Lightning Lane Multi-Pass at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.
Is the Park Hopper add-on worth it?
If your budget allows, Park Hopper tickets can be worth the added cost. The reason for this is simple: Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are literally less than a football field apart. It’s easy to jump from one to the other, and we do on every single visit.
This allows you to hit Radiator Springs Racers first thing every morning of our trip, and then either continue the day at Disney California Adventure, or head over to Disneyland. It also enables you to use Lightning Lane Multi-Pass at both parks in a single day, instead of just at one.
If you do continue the day at Disney California Adventure, having the hopper allows you to go to Disneyland late at night for the fireworks, or to head over to Disneyland to end the day, because it’s usually open later. You can also bounce back and forth between the parks, making for more efficient touring without wasting time given the proximity of the parks to one another.
With that said, if you have small children who won’t stay up late or aren’t concerned about having the most efficient day possible, purchasing Park Hoppers is probably a waste of your money. Each park has more than enough to fill an entire day, so you definitely don’t “need” to buy the add-on. If forced to choose, we’d pick Lightning Lane Multi-Pass over Park Hopping. If saving the most money is priority #1, don’t get any of the add-ons. There’s no one size fits all answer.
When is the next price increase most likely?
It’s unlikely that Walt Disney World will increase ticket prices for 2025. Their approach the last couple of years has been to roll out higher prices with the annual product launch, avoiding a mid or late-year increase in the process. This is a savvy strategy, as there isn’t a clear before/after comparison that draws headlines. In general, the date-based system Walt Disney World is more opaque than Disneyland’s ticketing.
Disneyland prices will likely go up by October 8, 2025 at the latest. That’s a very specific date, but it’s more or less when prices went up in each of the last three years. It’s usually around the first week in October, on either Tuesday or Wednesday. That’s been the past precedent for the last few years (October 11, 11, 8) and it’s more likely than not that history will repeat itself within a few days of that mark.
The odds are high of an increase in Fall 2025. Disneyland has already started raising menu prices, and it’s likely that Magic Keys and tickets follow suit. If anything, we’re seeing signs that the increase might come earlier this year than it did last year. It could occur anytime between mid-September and mid-October 2025, right around the time Disney’s new fiscal year starts. October is also now one of the most popular months of the year at Disneyland, so the company could opt to move the price increase forward and capitalize on that.
We always recommend purchasing tickets sooner rather than later if you know you’re going to be visiting Disneyland. Purchasing now will “future proof” against additional price increases in the next year-plus. Prices have gone up at least once annually every year of the last decade. That was true even for the year-plus when the parks were closed–they managed to sneak in price increases shortly before closing and after reopening.
