Disneyland Resort

I don't recall ever seeing them do a deal like this at least in recent memory. Maybe they are testing to see if the locals have any interest. I think conceptually it's a good idea. Most people I know who no longer have passes primarily miss being able to go down there in the evening, so this seems to fill that void if you really wanted to go.

As with anything, your mileage may vary on if you think it's worth it or not. If the hours are midnight and 10 PM at each park, at least you're getting the maximum amount of evening hours possible. Not having some kind of discounted parking rate seems like an oversight, though.

I could be wrong but I think its by design

Like the cheap 60 dollar price gets you in...and then there is the 40 dollar up charge

I also could see this being a test but....I do doubt this would happen much outside summer because they have the cheaper tickets during the off season

So besides summer, I can't see them doing this for the holidays or Halloween...if they do, I'll be back but not counting on it

If it's successful, they could theoretically drop it any time they see an attendance lull. Part of the appeal of the reservation process on the backend is they can determine what future park attendance looks like.

I don't see them doing a discounted parking rate for something like this, but it would definitely be helpful.

I know Knott’s did this before Covid, but don’t they still offer half price admission after 4PM?

I remember when I was in high school in the late 80's, Knott's had an after 4pm ticket that I believe was $20.

They used to, but I haven't seen that offer in years. If I had to guess, the popularity of their season passes now might be a reason they don't need to entice people in. Plus most of the time they close at 6 PM
