Discounts on Disneyland Vacation Packages

Many times Disneyland vacation packages are actually a good value for the money -- particularly the specially-priced seasonal package offers. On this page you'll find details on the standard Disneyland packages, as well as current discounted packages.

Most of the packages listed below can be booked online at Disneyland.com. However, I find the online reservations system to be confusing and clunky. Also, you really have to dig around online to find out the restrictions and cancellation fees, etc.

If you're going to spend the money to buy a vacation package, I strongly recommend using a travel agent who specializes in Disney travel. It costs you nothing, and you can sit back, relax, and have all the vacation planning and hassle taken care of by someone else.

Last Minute Packages to Disneyland through Expedia
Some of the last-minute Expedia packages are a good value, especially if you need airfare. Sometimes it costs less to buy one of these packages than it would to buy the airfare alone. Definitely worth a look if you're interested in a low-cost getaway to Disneyland.

Expedia has rules and requirements that can be confusing, plus Expedia charges fees. In general Expedia is not very forgiving about changes and cancellations, and may charge significant fees for such changes. If you decide to use Expedia, be sure to read all the small print very carefully, and click on any "terms and conditions" links and read those carefully.

Airline Packages
Some airlines with major routes in the Western US (specifically Alaska, Southwest and United) occasionally offer promotional vacation packages for Disneyland, such as "kids fly free," discounted tickets, etc. These packages can be worth checking into and sometimes they are a good buy.

However, be sure to do the math. Often the airfares and room rates available in conjunction with these packages are not that great. You may find it's cheaper to book your own "package" by combining discounted airfare, discounted tickets and a "room only" reservation, all booked separately, instead of an airline package.

Membership Discounts
If you belong to AAA or Costco, it may be worthwhile to check their prices on vacation packages. However, don't expect much service, and be aware that you may not get the best price in the long run.

In my experience, the big membership organizations employ "generalist" travel agents who often know little or nothing about Disney vacations and are frequently clueless about promotional packages and discount codes. You will usually have to do your own monitoring to make sure any better package offers that come out are applied to your booking. They almost never do this for you, unlike a Disney specialist agency.

Be aware that AAA offers a room discount that applies ONLY to full price packages. If a better promotional package comes out (and it frequently will), you can switch to the new promotion, but you lose the AAA discount. You can only pick one or the other.
