Story summary

As of October 14, 2026, Disneyland demolished the final two ticket booths on the eastern side of its main entrance, structures dating back 71 years. Aerial images captured from the monorail showed the destruction behind construction walls in the Esplanade area. Earlier this year, four other ticket booths were also demolished between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park. This leaves only two remaining booths on the western side of the Esplanade for guests who still prefer purchasing tickets in person. The demolition is part of a larger expansion plan at the resort, which includes adding a Porto’s Bakery location in the Downtown Disney District.
