Disneyland Just Dropped a $59 Evening Ticket: Here’s How to Get It

Disney has announced a massive surprise for budget-conscious park fans. For a limited time, you can experience the magic of the Disneyland Resort after dark for a fraction of the usual cost.

Starting now, guests can purchase the all-new 1-Day Evening Ticket for just $59, granting admission for one evening to either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park.

With standard single-day summer tickets often climbing past $150, this limited-time promo offers up to 68% in savings. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to catch the nighttime fireworks, ride a few iconic attractions in cooler weather, or experience the ongoing Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, this is your moment.

The Fine Print: Dates, Times, and Availability
Before you pack your ears, there are a few important details you need to know to maximize this offer:

• When to Buy: Tickets are available for purchase starting now!
• Valid Dates: The Evening Ticket can be used on Sundays through Wednesdays, from July 12 through August 5, 2026.
• Park Hours & Entry Times:
  • Disney California Adventure Park: Entry begins at 5:00 PM (Typically closes at 10:00 PM, giving you 5 hours of park time).
  • Disneyland Park: Entry begins at 7:00 PM (Typically closes at midnight, giving you 5 hours of park time).

Crucial Step: Like all Disneyland admissions, both a valid ticket and a theme park reservation for the same date are required. Reservations for Evening Ticket holders are limited and subject to availability, so you’ll want to lock in your dates as early as possible.

What Can You Do in 5 Hours?
You might wonder if five hours is enough time to justify a trip. The short answer? Absolutely—especially during summer evenings when the Southern California heat cools down and the parks truly come alive.
Here is what you can check off your Disney bucket list with an Evening Ticket:

• Catch the Nighttime Spectaculars: Experience the radiant Paint the Night parade or the emotional Wondrous Journeys fireworks at Disneyland Park. Over at California Adventure, you can watch the breathtaking World of Color show.
• Hit Big-Ticket Rides: Use the final hours of the night to hop in the standby lines for major attractions like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Space Mountain, or Radiator Springs Racers as day-guest crowds begin to thin out.
• Celebrate the 70th Anniversary: Take in the exclusive platinum décor, snap photos with your favorite characters in their celebratory attire, and indulge in specialty limited-edition anniversary snacks.

Is the $59 Evening Ticket Worth It?
If you are a local looking for a fun weeknight date, a Southern California resident blocked out on certain annual passes, or a traveler looking to squeeze an extra budget-friendly night into your vacation, this is an unbeatable value. You get to skip the midday heat, bypass the highest crowd peaks, and enjoy the park’s premium nighttime entertainment for less than the cost of a nice dinner.
