A decade ago, a parkhopper ticket to Disneyland and DCA cost $155 in 2015 before the parks moved to a tiered-pricing system.
With the latest hikes, the most expensive one-day parkhopper ticket in Disneyland’s seven-tier pricing system rose 11.7% from $281 to $314 while the cheapest one-day parkhopper climbed 3% from $169 to $174.
Daily visitors who pay extra for parkhopping tickets can visit both Disneyland and DCA after making a reservation for the park where they plan to start their day.
Parkhopping begins each day at 11 a.m. Daily visitors who show up after parkhopping starts can enter either park first.

Starting in 2016, Disneyland switched to a demand-based pricing system with tickets divided into tiers. The number of tiers has increased from three in 2016 to five in 2020, six in 2021 and seven in 2022.
Parkhopper add-ons have steadily climbed through the years from $25 (2011) to $40 (2015) to $50 (2016) to $55 (2020) to $60 (2022). The latest price hike raised the parkhopper upgrade cost from $65-$75 to $70-$90 depending on the ticket tier.
The new parkhopper upgrade adds $70 to the cost of Tiers 0, 1 and 2 tickets, $80 to Tiers 3 and 4 tickets and $90 to Tiers 5 and 6 tickets.
