With summer in full swing, there has never been a better time to visit the Disneyland Resort than right now! The parks are filled with spectacular entertainment, new character encounters, exciting attractions and of course – adventures in a galaxy far, far away with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge now open. What better way to enjoy your summer visit than with a friend?

If you’re a Disneyland Resort Annual Passholder(or have a friend who’s one!), you’re in luck! Starting today through August 30, Annual Passholders can bring a friend to the Disneyland Resort with the purchase of a 1-Day Park Hopper ticket for $99.*

And so it begins...

It looks like they won’t be lifting any AP blockouts just offering this as a blockout ticket.

Disneyland is panicking.

They had to try something. These definitely weren't the attendance numbers they were expecting.

I just hope this doesn't make it too crowded! But I much prefer this over lifting blackout days.

And it's already working - my sister and her boyfriend were looking at 1-day tickets last night but decided against it because it would be $200 each for a park hopper. This deal comes out and we are already coordinating a day with them, my parents, and maybe my brother (partially as a birthday celebration for 3 of us). Thankfully I have another AP friend who can help with the extra 1-2 tickets.

I might have renewed my pass if they announced this earlier. As it is, I bought twilight tickets for my family through the D23 expo link. Oh well, great deal for those who were looking for one!

Well, I knew they were going to do something. I really wanted them to wait just a few more weeks until after my trip (lol), but I knew that wasn't going to happen.

Just want to make sure I am reading this correctly. It is $99 per ticket per person? So AP would have to spend $99 too if they were blocked out? As I don't know much about AP, those in the know is this something AP's will definitely bite on?

Correct on the pricing.

I concur. I think the bean counters thought this was a cheaper discount than the a general public discount.

 

[fly girl]

Well, this news made me call and see if by chance they lifted the blockout of discounts on hotel rooms. Not yet. As of now, still on until end of Aug.

Is there a pass holder discount after August?

They might bite but not in a Spring-Before-SWGE type way. $99 if your AP is blocked is doable but not cheap so you’re not going to do it much. $99 is going to bring in some of the people who have friends with not blocked out APs and would like to go to DLR but $150ish one day park hopper tickets turns them away. I think $99 is an affordable physiological level so some will bite but I don’t really think the amount of people the promo brings in will be noticeable.

Honestly, I don't know. I am wanting the military discount. I know when I found out about the block through August the CM said ALL discounts including CM, AP, and Visa holders were blocked out as well. It never hurts to call!

Heads will roll.

I'm a pass holder but I'm blocked out till September , does this change anything? Can I do this?

 

[midnight star]

Wow I wished for this sort of thing to happen, and go it lol Disney Magic? I’m sure this will make crowds pick up, but I’m glad my family and friends who don’t have passes will have a chance to go this summer without paying that outrageous 1 day ticket price.

Also I feel like it’s a good benefit for passholders (no matter the level), that have shelled out a lot of money for passes.

Sounds like it based off this paragraph

The Annual Passholder must accompany the guest on the first entry into a theme park on the day of purchase. If the Annual Passholder is blocked that day, they can take advantage of this offer by purchasing a ticket at this special price for both themselves and their friend.

A one-day park hopper is $200! It is insane. One day, one-park is $150.
