Disneyland is about to become 50% cheaper for park guests — but there’s a catch.
The Anaheim, Calif.-based theme park will slash ticket costs in half as half of a limited-time promotion for California residents only.
That means Golden Staters can shell out $83 a day — or $249 whole — for a three-day park hopper cross that grants them access to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.
For those who don’t dwell in the Golden State, ticket costs for a three-day park hopper cross to Disneyland will stay the same — $535 for adults and $510 for youngsters.

The discounted tickets will go on sale Dec. 3 and will be legitimate from Jan. 1 through May 21, according to Disneyland’s web site.
The theme park said that bought tickets for the limited-time promotion can be used on nonconsecutive days — though guests must make reservations.
Those who want to take benefit of the low cost must show their state residency in order to be eligible. That means only those with ZIP codes ranging from 90000 to 96199 can apply.
The park will implement eligibility guidelines by checking government-issued ID for both buy and admission.

The limited-time low cost comes on the heels of important ticket price hikes at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World that sparked widespread frustration among parkgoers.
In Anaheim, peak single-day tickets climbed to a file $224, and multi-day passes rose across all tiers.
Annual passes saw some of the steepest will increase, with the top-tier Inspire Key leaping to $1,899. Parking also elevated to $40 a day.
Walt Disney World in Florida rolled out comparable hikes, pushing the Magic Kingdom’s high single-day ticket previous the $200 mark for the first time.
Annual passes in Orlando elevated by as much as $80, while premium add-ons and tours rose by $10 to $20.

Fans reacted sharply on social platforms, calling the will increase unsustainable and complaining that the parks are offering less while charging more.
Longtime guests said they felt priced out and many annual passholders reported they would not renew.
Others argued the prices of food, accommodations and add-ons such as Genie+ and Lightning Lane have made a conventional Disney trip more and more troublesome for households to afford.
Some parkgoers said the increased costs would be justified if crowd ranges dropped, but many reported that both resorts stay packed during most seasons.
Others criticized what they seen as “shrinkflation,” pointing to fewer leisure choices and lowered staffing on days when admission costs were at their highest.
The Post has sought remark from the Walt Disney Company.
