Imagine only having to pay $1 as an admission fee to your happy place. Back in 1955 that was the cost you would have to pay to get into a place that many people adore (Blasingame). Disneyland makes a ton of money a year solely based on how much money it takes to actually get into the parks. To gain a better understanding, I will first preview the history of ticket prices.

Currently the prices of the Annual Passports are ridiculously high, but Disneyland thought of a strategy to make even more money. They now have a monthly payment plan based on what kind off Annual Pass you would like to buy. The Premium pass is currently unavailable as of today. There is now a new pass called the Disney Signature Plus Passport for $1049 with no blackout days with a monthly payment plan of roughly $79.17 (Annual Passports). The next available pass is the Disney Signature Passport which is $849 and has 16 days blocked out between December 19 and January 2 (Annual Passports). The third pass is the Disney Deluxe Passport and it is $599 and has a lot of blackout days and is $41.67 (Annual Passport).
