In-Depth Information
Any time before a pass expires, you can apply the value of unused days toward
the cost of a higher priced ticket. If you buy a four-day Park Hopper ticket, for ex-
ample, andthendecide you'drather haveanAnnualPassport,youcanapplythevalue
of unused days on the former toward the purchase of the latter. Upgraded passes ex-
pire on the same 13-day deadline date as the original ticket; annual passes expire one
year from the first usage of the original ticket. To restrict the reselling of half-used
passes, Disneyland photographs every multiday pass holder upon first entry for iden-
tification purposes; be prepared to have your pass (and face) scanned shortly before
passing the turnstiles.

TIP
If you visit Disneyland five or more days each summer, an Annual Passport is a po-
tential money saver.
Annual Passports
The Disneyland Resort offers several annual passports. The Premium Annual Pass-
port is good for an entire year with no blackout dates and is the only Disneyland
passport that includes parking. The pass costs $669 and is good for admission to
both parks (excluding arcades) and up to 15% discounts at most resort dining and
merchandise locations. Deluxe Passports ($499) are valid 315 days per year (after
preselected peak season blackout dates) and offer 10% discounts. Southern California
and SoCal Select Annual Passports, priced at $279-$359, provide admission to both
parks for a year, excluding up to 195 preselected blackout dates. These are available
to residents in zip codes 90000-93599. Prices for children are the same as those for
adults on all annual passports. All of these passes are a good idea if you plan to visit
Disneyland parks five or more days in a year. If you purchase your annual passport in
July of this year and schedule your visit next year for June, you'll cover two years'
vacations with a single pass.
