OC Now: Disneyland hikes admission

ANAHEIM — It will soon cost you more to visit the “The Happiest Place on Earth.”

Admission prices to Disneyland are going up $4 this week.

Starting Thursday, the price of a one-day, one-park ticket will increase from $72 to $76, resort spokeswoman Suzi Brown said.

The “Park Hopper” ticket, which allows visits to both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, will go from $97 to $101.

Parking will also increase from $14 to $15 a day.

Annual passes will cost $20 more.

The price hike is comparable to annual changes over the past decade.

Disney officials say they monitor the theme park marketplace to make sure pricing reflects a strong entertainment value.
