Costco Offers Disneyland Park Hopper Package at $329.99 With Dining Card
Costco is selling a two-day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper ticket bundled with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and a $60 dining card for $329.99 at select California locations, undercutting Disneyland's listed two-day Park Hopper price by about $115. The offer carries restrictions, including a use window from Oct. 2 to Dec. 18, a 13-day completion requirement, mandatory park reservations, and no refunds.
Costco is offering a two-day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper ticket bundled with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and a $60 dining card for $329.99 at select stores in California, giving parkgoers a discounted package that undercuts the resort's own listed pricing. Disneyland Resort officials confirmed the offer, saying it rolled out last week at select Costco locations across the state.
The bundle has drawn attention online as theme park fans compare its price with buying directly from Disneyland. A two-day Park Hopper ticket is currently listed at $445 for one adult on Disneyland's website before adding Lightning Lane, though pricing is subject to change. That puts the Costco package roughly $115 below the currently listed two-day Park Hopper price, although the two options come with different terms and restrictions.
The offer arrives as Disneyland adjusted some ticket prices this week. Mid-tier single-day tickets rose by $5, while the least expensive $104 ticket and the highest-priced $224 ticket remained unchanged, according to the Los Angeles Times. The cost of Lightning Lane can now reach $38, up $1, and the Park Hopper add-on for single-day tickets increased by $5 to $10 depending on the date. Multi-day ticket prices were unchanged.
Hugh Johnston, chief financial officer of The Walt Disney Company, said at the recent Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference that the company aims to keep ticket prices accessible for younger families by offering lower rates during off-peak value periods. «It's something that we're acutely sensitive to because we want to make sure we continue to bring young families, in particular, into the parks and develop that Disney love,» he said. «So we're super sensitive to the fact that, particularly in the value times of the year, we keep those ticket prices relatively low so that we can actually encourage those young families to come in.»
The Costco ticket can be used between Oct. 2 and Dec. 18, according to information shared by a theme park content creator on Instagram. Once a guest uses the ticket for the first time, the second park day must be used within 13 days. Theme park reservations are required for each visit, and the ticket is nonrefundable. The same person must use both days, meaning the two visits cannot be split between different travelers.
Disneyland Resort officials said the resort regularly makes limited-time ticket offers available throughout the year, including through third-party retailers. The Costco package is currently limited to select Costco locations in California.
The bundle has generated mixed reactions among Disney fans online, with some questioning the cost of park visits and others praising the bundled price. «Sadly, that's still not affordable for us right now,» one person said on Reddit. Others were more enthusiastic. «That's actually a pretty good deal,» one user wrote.
Costco has not publicly commented further on the offer. The package's restrictions and limited availability mean travelers hoping to use it will need to plan around the Oct. 2 start date, the Dec. 18 cutoff, and the requirement that both visits be completed within 13 days once the ticket is first used.
