Disneyland is about to become 50% cheaper for park visitors — but there’s a catch.
The Anaheim, Calif.-based theme park will slash ticket prices in half as part of a limited-time promotion for California residents only.
That means Golden Staters can shell out $83 a day — or $249 total — for a three-day park hopper pass that grants them access to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.
For those who don’t live in the Golden State, ticket prices for a three-day park hopper pass to Disneyland will remain the same — $535 for adults and $510 for children.
The discounted tickets will go on sale Dec. 3 and will be valid from Jan. 1 through May 21, according to Disneyland’s website.
The theme park stated that purchased tickets for the limited-time promotion can be used on nonconsecutive days — though visitors must make reservations.
Those who wish to take advantage of the discount must prove their state residency in order to be eligible. That means only those with ZIP codes ranging from 90000 to 96199 can apply.
The park will enforce eligibility rules by checking government-issued ID for both purchase and admission.
The limited-time discount comes on the heels of significant ticket price hikes at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World that sparked widespread frustration among parkgoers.
In Anaheim, peak single-day tickets climbed to a record $224, and multi-day passes rose across all tiers.
Annual passes saw some of the steepest increases, with the top-tier Inspire Key jumping to $1,899. Parking also increased to $40 a day.
Walt Disney World in Florida rolled out similar hikes, pushing the Magic Kingdom’s top single-day ticket past the $200 mark for the first time.
Annual passes in Orlando increased by as much as $80, while premium add-ons and tours rose by $10 to $20.
Fans reacted sharply on social platforms, calling the increases unsustainable and complaining that the parks are offering less while charging more.
Longtime visitors said they felt priced out and many annual passholders reported they would not renew.
Others argued the costs of food, hotels and add-ons such as Genie+ and Lightning Lane have made a traditional Disney vacation increasingly difficult for families to afford.
Some parkgoers said the higher prices would be justified if crowd levels dropped, but many reported that both resorts remain packed during most seasons.
Others criticized what they viewed as “shrinkflation,” pointing to fewer entertainment offerings and reduced staffing on days when admission prices were at their highest.
The Post has sought comment from the Walt Disney Company.
