The holidays are here at the Happiest Place on Earth, and Disneyland is offering an amazing holiday ticket deal for Disney+ subscribers. For a limited time, you can get 2 days and get 1 day free! This deal gives you 3 days of fun at the park for just $330, which is even cheaper than the regular price for a one-day ticket during Christmas week ($206). The tickets are available now and are valid for visits from Nov. 18 to Dec. 27, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the holiday magic at Disneyland.
Disneyland is all decked out for the season with festive decorations, delicious holiday foods, and special experiences. From candy canes to themed rides, here’s what’s new and returning this year:
