How to get cheaper Disneyland tickets from Target

Disneyland's Nighttime Spectaculars return

Disneyland's Nighttime Spectaculars return Friday for the first time in two years, including the Main Street Electrical Parade. Wednesday the park had a preview.

LOS ANGELES - It's no secret Disneyland tickets will cost you a pretty penny if you plan on visiting the Most Happiest Place on Earth.

But rather than go through Disneyland's direct website, what if we told you there's a workaround so you can save some of those dollars for souvenirs or an extra bite?

It's true - but (of course) there's a catch. The discounted deal only applies to Target's RedCard holders.

On Disneyland’s website, a two-day park pass for ages 10 and up that grants access to one park a day will cost you $255. If you want to go to both Disneyland and Disneyland California Adventure Park in the same day, you’ll have to pay another $60 per ticket.

Here' where Target comes in.

Head to the speciality gift cards section of Target's website, and you’ll find a selection of discounted park tickets. You'll see tickets for different age groups and tickets for all length types (three-day, two-day, park hoppers, etc.)

Now for example, instead of paying $255 for a two-day, one-park-per-day pass for ages 10 and up on Disney, you can get the same ticket from Target and save 5% using your RedCard.

That means the same ticket drops to $242.25 — a savings of $12.75. Or take a 2-Day Park Hopper ticket with Genie+ service ticket, which normally runs $355. With RedCard, you'll pay $337.25, a savings of $17.75 per ticket.

RedCard members also save 5% on all Target purchases in-store and online.

These discounted tickets can only be purchased online. You can apply for a Target RedCard online at Target.com or in store.
