Quick Summary

Costco is now offering a two-day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper ticket with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and a $60 dining card for $329.99 at select California locations. This deal was confirmed by Disneyland officials to Fox News Digital and includes terms such as required theme park reservations, nonrefundability, and the need for both days of use within 13 days after first use. The Costco package is approximately $115 cheaper than buying a similar ticket directly from Disneyland's website at $445, though Disney recently increased some ticket prices while keeping others unchanged to cater to younger families during off-peak periods.
