How to buy Disneyland tickets in Australia
Disneyland Resort in California makes an unforgettable Australian family holiday destination – but it’s not all fun and games! You need to do some planning before you go – and that includes how to get your Disneyland entrance tickets.
Firstly, if you haven’t read our Aussie family Disneyland Park feature, read it here.
Or our Australian family Disney California Adventure Park feature here.
Here are some handy tips for what, why and where to buy the right Disneyland tickets in Australia so that you can make the most of your time at Disneyland Resort…
One of the biggest questions on Aussie parent’s minds when planning a trip to Disneyland is where to buy cheap Disneyland tickets
Where can I buy Disneyland Tickets in Australia?
Our first stop for Disneyland tickets is Klook, an official Disneyland ticket seller.
Not only are Klook Disneyland tickets cheap, once purchased you always have them on you digitally on the Klook app. It’s a simple scan in process at the Disneyland entrance, skipping the queue for tickets.

In Australia (and many other countries around the world) you can also buy your Disneyland Resort theme park tickets direct from a travel agent in your country, but you will be paying a premium. A travel agent can also include tickets in a Disneyland holiday package.
If you are already in the USA or Japan Disneyland tickets can be purchased via the official Disneyland website here or the Disneyland App (like my ticket pictured above).
Which Disneyland tickets should I choose?
Disneyland Resort Multi-day tickets are the best choice if you’ve never been to Disneyland before.
Tickets are available singly into either theme park, or Disneyland Resort Park Hopper tickets allows you to cross between the two theme parks during the same visit. It’s simply a matter of walking across from one park to the other. It’s best to allow at least three days to cover both parks. Five or seven days are even better! Multi-day tickets and Park Hopper tickets can be great way to enjoy the two California Disney Resort parks.

What is Disneyland Lightning Lane?
Disneyland Lightning lane is the current name for the Disneyland ride queue fast lane. A Lightning Lane pass allows you to bypass the long ride queues to go straight to the front of the queue.
There are two versions of Lightning Lane passes to choose from.
The Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and the Lightning Lane Single Pass.
What is the difference between Disney Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass?
- Formally known as Disneyland Fast Pass and Disney Genie, there are now two new Disney Lightning Lane systems – here’s the simple explanation of how they work. Remember, you must have a valid Disneyland day ticket and park reservation first!
How does Lightning Lane Multi Pass work?
- For several selected rides at Disneyland and California Adventure
- For one use per ride
- Book the next available ride window
- Get free Disneyland photo benefits
- Buy either in advance (can buy from Klook) or in the park, but limited availability
How does Lightning Lane Single Pass work?
- For the following two rides only:
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disneyland
- Radiator Springs Racers in California Adventure
- Both of the above 2 rides are not included in the Lightning Lane Multi Pass
- Use one time only on one ride
- Book the next available ride window
- Buy once you are inside the theme park using the Disneyland app (if available)
- You can buy both if you like, but only one per ride is allowed per day.
Is Disney Lightning Lane worth it?
Yes! One thing is for certain – your Disneyland time is precious – and valuable. You may have traveled half-way around the world to visit Disneyland. You need to make the most of your time whilst you are there – this is no time to try and save a few dollars! So, it makes good sense to spend a bit more on a Disney Lightning Lane and streamline your Disneyland ride and entertainment experiences.
Disney Lightning Lane may seem like an extra expense, but even if you are only visiting Disneyland Resort for a limited number of days, you should definitely consider upgrading your standard ticket to a Lightning Lane pass for a more efficient visit.
What is Disneyland Early Entry?
As a bonus, when you stay at an official Disneyland Resort Hotel you get access to the Disneyland 30-minute early entry to one of the two Disneyland theme parks every day of your hotel stay. This is a really good reason to stay at a Disneyland Hotel. That’s a 30 minute head-start on other Disneyland visitors, which is a great advantage when it comes to the most busy rides at Disneyland! You do still need to have a valid park ticket and have booked a park reservation.
Which days are early entry for Disneyland Park for hotel guests?
Disneyland Park are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Which days are early entry for California Adventure for hotel guests?
Disney California Adventure Park are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Download the Disneyland Apps
In preparation for your days at Disney Resort, download the Disney Resort App before you go at the App Store and Google Play. The Play Disney Parks App. is another Disney family essential.
The Disneyland Resort App is essential to make the most of your Disney days. Us this app for entry, Lightning Lane, live navigational maps, to find out ride wait times, event information and even where Disney characters are going to appear! Your photo pass ride photos can also be loaded into your app as you make your way around the theme parks.
In the USA or Japan, you can also use the Disney Parks App to purchase park tickets. We decided we wanted an extra day at Disneyland before flying home to Australia, and bought tickets using the Disneyland App.
The Disneyland Resort Play App comes in very handy if you are waiting in line for a ride, as families can use it to play Disney games together! It keeps everyone entertained and is a lot of fun.
Can I connect my paper Disneyland ticket to the App?
Yes you can. It’s a good idea to link your Disneyland Resort ticket to the Disneyland App on your phone before your visit, however you can do this anytime, such as after receiving your ticket (if you bought tickets online) at the gate.
Ticketing and Lightning Lane work seamlessly within the Disneyland Resort App on your smart phone via a scannable barcode system.
Does holding a Disneyland ticket guarantee entry?
No. Like any other theme park, Disneyland has the potential to reach a maximum number of Guests in the park.
As there is still a park date reservation system being used in California Disney, it’s important you reserve the dates you wish to visit if this isn’t automatically included with your admission pass.
Do you still need to reserve your Disneyland date of visit in 2025?
Yes. This is managed by the Disneyland reservation system, which you can only make after you have bought a Disneyland ticket.
Therefore, at peak times such as USA holidays and weekends, it’s highly recommended that if your reservation isn’t included automatically with your Disneyland ticket, that you make your reservations early.
Where to stay when visiting California Disneyland Resort
Disneyland is located around 45 minutes drive from LAX in the city of Anaheim, so it’s important to stay in Anaheim so that you aren’t wasting your precious Disney time commuting each day.
Whilst in Anaheim our family stayed in the Anaheim Marriot Suites, in Garden Grove. Located only minutes from the Disneyland Resort attractions, this elegant hotel is the perfect base for any Disneyland family holiday. Find out more about the Anaheim Marriot Suites hotel here.
