Save $233 via New Costco Disneyland 2-Day Park Hopper Ticket Deal with Lightning Lanes for Late 2026
Disney has released a new deal for Disneyland & California Adventure tickets for Halloween and Christmas 2026, with a ‘fully loaded’ 2-Day Park Hopper ticket that includes Lightning Lane Multi-Pass plus a Dining Card. Here are dates & details about the special offer, plus comparisons to other past & present ticket promos, an assessment of the value proposition, and more.
This follows up on the Rare PIN Code Deal on 1-Day Disneyland Park Hopper Tickets. Tickets are available for use from now through December 18, 2026 and cost $149 per day. With that targeted deal, guests may purchase up to 5 tickets per transaction, with no more than a total of 3 transactions per PIN. Of course, it requires receiving the code in the first place, which is a fairly significant barrier to entry.
Most 1-day tickets between now and December 2026 are expensive, ranging from $169 to $224. There are only 8 remaining dates of $104 tickets: November 2-5, 2026 and November 9-12, 2026. After that, there are no $104 dates for the remainder of the year; meaning there’s nothing for the heart of the Halloween season in October, nor Christmas from mid-November through December.
If you’re looking for the best and cheapest way to do Disneyland in the next couple of months, our advice would be buying the single day tickets for November 4-5, 2026. Those are likely to be the lowest crowd days, after the initial rush of November 1-2, but before the busier week of Veterans Day.
Another option is this new discount from Costco, which is essentially a repeat of a deal offered earlier this year, but much better! Here are full details…
New Costco Disneyland Ticket Deal for Late 2026
The new 2026 Costco ticket deal offers a 2-Day Disneyland Park Hopper with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and a $60 Disney Dining Card for $329.99.
The ticket is valid from now through December 18, 2026 and expires 13 days after the first day of use or on December 18, 2026, whichever comes first. Park reservations are required.
This is a special offer for Costco Members rolling out at select warehouses on the West Coast. Thus far, we’ve only received reports of the tickets being sold in Southern California locations, but the original incarnation of the deal was available throughout the West Coast. This discounted Disneyland ticket is available while supplies last.
This Costco 2-Day Disneyland Park Hopper Ticket Deal is valid through December 18, 2026, meaning it covers both the heart of Halloween Time (see our Guide to Halloween Time at Disneyland), as well as Holiday Time at Disneyland (see our Guide to Christmas at Disneyland). It also runs during our favorite week of the year, which is seldom-discounted!
Previous Costco Ticket Deals
The most recent Costco ticket deal was available from January 8 through June 12, 2026 and offered a 2-Day Disneyland Park Hopper with Lightning Lane Multi Pass for $389.99. It also had a “fuse,” meaning it expired 13 days after the first day of use. Park reservations were required.
Prior to that, there was the Crazy-Good Ticket Deal for Disneyland’s 70th! That offered a 3-Day Disneyland Park Hopper Ticket with Lightning Lane Multi Pass for $449.99, plus a $30 Disney Dining Card. That ticket was valid for admission from May 20 through December 19, 2025. It did not have a fuse, meaning it could’ve been used once during the summer, once during Halloween, and a final time at Christmas. It was an exceptional deal.
For the sake of comparison, the Costco ticket deal from early 2026 had a per-day cost of $195, whereas the 2025 one was $140 after accounting for the per day value of the dining card.
Late 2026 Costco Ticket Deal Analysis
The per day cost of this ticket is $135 after accounting for the dining card. That makes this the cheapest Costco ticket deal yet on a bottom-dollar basis, and far superior to the early 2026 deal ($60 less per day).
This deal for late 2026 is on par with the original Costco ticket deal from last year, albeit with a higher per day upfront cost pre-dining card (of course, you have to eat and should easily be able to spend $60 over the course of two days). Perhaps the bigger issue is the fuse. It would’ve been nice to be able to use this for a visit during Halloween and Christmas.
The other obvious difference is that this is 2 days and that was 3 days. We’ve found that many people prefer the shorter duration tickets, and discounts on them are more rare and usually less substantial when available, so that’s a check in favor of the late 2026 deal. All in all, though, they’re about on par with one another.
It is worth noting that the actual retail price of this ticket is $503, so the Costco deal is over $233 off (once taking into account the dining card). Moreover, none of the discounted third party ticket sellers offer discounts on 1 or 2-day tickets.
But it’s also worth noting that they do offer massive savings on 3-day and longer durations. Get Away Today, our recommended authorized third party ticket seller, is currently running their Adults at Kids’ prices and other deals. Even so, it is very difficult to recommend any of those discounts over this Costco deal. It is very, very good.
It’s also worth noting that, with the exception of the scattering of $104 dates in the first two weeks of November, most of the single day prices for base tickets without Park Hopper or Lightning Lane Multi-Pass will cost more than this. If you want to get in the door as cheaply as possible, you can do two visits on those early November dates for $208, but most of October through December 2026 will end up costing more than $270 for regular admission!
If the new Costco Disneyland Ticket Offer isn’t for you due to travel dates or because you need longer duration tickets, see our 2026 Discount Disneyland Ticket Buying Guide for additional recommendations.
There’s always the possibility that Disneyland will release more discounts for the first half of 2026 beyond just the Costco and California resident deals. We doubt it, though. Unlike the underwhelming Costco deal from early 2026, the one for late 2026 is very good and should be hugely popular. We anticipate this one selling out pretty quickly.
The biggest impediments to this 2-Day Disneyland Ticket Deal for Late 2026 will presumably be a membership to the big-box warehouse store. If you’re more of a Sam’s Club house, this does you no good.
Even if you are a Costco member, you might have issues purchasing this if you live outside of Southern California since it’s in-store only. Although the last one expanded to Washington, Oregon, Utah and other West Coast states, there’s no guarantee of that for the late 2026 deal.
The big difference this time is that Disney is releasing the ticket deal into a time of year that is seldom discounted. Ticket deals for October through December are exceedingly rare, and whenever they are offered, Disneyland limits them pretty significantly. Hence the discount at the top of the post being a PIN code as opposed to being available to all California residents or the general public. Our guess is that there’s a very limited inventory of this late 2026 deal, and once it’s sold out, that’s it–it’s gone.
When we asked an employee about the original 70th deal, they told us that inventory was limited and their store had received an initial stock of 200 tickets. When we made subsequent trips to Costco over the ensuing months, it was sold out more often than it was available.
Waiting until you arrive in California for your vacation to buy these discounted tickets at Costco is a gamble. Not only because they might already be sold out, but because park reservations are required and those might be gone (more on that below). If you’re a Costco member living on the West Coast and this special offer is available at your local store, this deal is pretty much a no-brainer. But if not, you might want to consider an alternative deal instead.
Finally, it’s unclear whether this Costco deal is pulling park reservations from its own “bucket” or from regular full-price park tickets. Our assumption is its own bucket. This is exactly how Magic Keys already work, as well as other recent ticket promos. So it’s really nothing new.
Nevertheless, it’s important to understand that reservations can be limited for ticket deals like this even when the calendar is wide open for regular tickets. It stands to reason that this deal will be bought by a lot of guests, meaning more people in this “pool” competing for the same reservations.
As Disney always warns ticket special offers, some dates could be difficult to book. The good news is that Disneyland does reallocate reservation availability as demand dictates; the bad news is that they aren’t very good at it, and it can be very hit or miss (requiring a strong refresh game).
I’m personally not too concerned about that this go-round, as I assume the bigger limiting factor on the Costco tickets will be just how many are sold; supplies are presumably very limited. You’ll probably have a harder time finding this deal in stores you will with reservations.
Anyway, just bringing this to your attention because we know some people gloss over the terms and conditions, viewing that as CYA legal language that has no real bearing on the deal. Here, that’s only partially true. The bottom line is that you should err on the side of caution and make reservations ASAP after buying. Don’t wait until the last minute.
Normal Disneyland Ticket Deals
In a normal year, there are a few main types of ticket deals. The big one is the winter and spring special offer, available only to Californians (usually Southern California residents). Disneyland has done this consistently for at least the last decade. It’s the much more established and longstanding deal.
This year’s version of that SoCal resident deal was the best we’ve seen in a while, and was actually better than last year. It started in early January and ran through May 21st. It was so popular that Disneyland actually stopped selling it in April because the parks ran out of reservations for that ticket type with over a month left in the promo. Even if it’s not as good as this year, the 2027 version of the SoCal resident offer will likely beat this late 2026 Costco ticket deal on a bottom-dollar, per-day basis.
Following that, there was the $50 Disneyland Kids Tickets for Summer 2026! This Kids’ Ticket Deal is valid for visits through September 7th. With that, children ages 3 through 9 could visit Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for $50 per child with a 1-Day Park Hopper ticket.
In addition to that Kids’ Ticket Deal, Disneyland would normally release a summer and early fall ticket discount to replace the last California resident ticket deal that ended on May 21st. In a normal year, that would expire in late September.
For reasons unknown, that summer Golden State deal did not happen this year. As for why, our best guess is that Disneyland overcorrected after offering “too good” of a deal in the winter and spring. It’s not as if Disneyland was packed with people this summer. To the contrary, the last two months have been much slower than the height of winter and spring. Instead, there was a $59 nighttime ticket deal that sold out in a single day, along with an Anaheim resident deal that is offered annually.
Suffice to say, it’s been a really weird year for discounts at Disneyland. The return of this Costco ticket deal, and with a price that’s even better than the one offered in early 2026 (despite average 1-day ticket prices in October through December being considerably higher than in the winter and spring) is a positive sign. It suggests we might see a return of more aggressive discounting in 2027; or perhaps that there’s still more to come this year.
Since it’s been an interesting year for discounts, I’m going to conclude by sharing special offer ticket prices from the last several years and let them speak for themselves…

Ultimately, this 2-Day Disneyland Park Hopper Ticket with Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a crazy good deal with a couple of caveats. If you’re a local and want to visit for only 2 days with a fully loaded ticket in the span of two weeks, it’s perfect. For recommendations on when to do DLR, see our list of the Best & Worst Weeks to Visit Disneyland in 2026.)
That’s especially true if you want or need all of the bells and whistles on your admission, as this degree of discount is unprecedented in the last decade or so…outside of last summer’s Costco ticket offer. This deal is arguably superior to that one depending upon your circumstances and preferences, and the savings of $233 off per ticket is a tremendous savings and unprecedented for a 2-day deal, even if it does require buying the fully-loaded option with all of the add-ons.
If you want longer duration tickets, live outside the West Coast, aren’t a Costco member, or are more concerned with getting the bottom-dollar price, there are better alternatives for you. Although this Costco deal is most accessible to California residents, those who don’t care about visiting for Halloween or Christmas might want to hold off until early 2027. The upcoming resident deal will almost assuredly be cheaper than this, albeit not an apples to apples comparison since that won’t be fully loaded.
Regardless, it’s great to see a discount that’s this aggressive, and better that what Disney is offering directly. This is doubly true given the dearth of discounts over the summer. It would appear that Disneyland is getting back on track with deals, setting the table for another strong one in Winter 2027, or perhaps even earlier. We’ll keep you posted!
