Why Disneyland and Universal are offering huge summer discounts
Here’s how to get into Disneyland for $100 a day and all the other Southern California parks for about half that.
By Brady MacDonald
UPDATED: April 7, 2025
“Summer ticket deals abound this year at Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott’s Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, SeaWorld San Diego and Legoland California long before the kids get out of school and the family vacation season kicks into gear.”
…
“There are essentially three seasons for Southern California theme parks: Holidays (Halloween and Christmas), Festivals (January through April) and Summer (May through September).
“The local parks have done such a good job enticing annual passholders and daily visitors to return during the holidays and seasonal festivals that the summer vacation season no longer ranks as the busiest time of the year.
“Christmas is certainly the busiest season at Disneyland and Halloween is king at Knott’s and Universal. Magic Mountain, SeaWorld and Legoland have followed the leaders and leapt into the spring festival business.”
