Costco rolls out new Disneyland ticket deal but there's a catch for parkgoers
Disneyland visitors have a new ticket option that bundles park admission with other perks — but there are some restrictions that travelers may want to know about.
Costco is offering a two-day Disneyland Resort Park Hopper ticket with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and a $60 dining card for $329.99 at select locations in California.
Disneyland Resort officials confirmed the offer to Fox News Digital, saying it rolled out last week at select Costco stores across the state.
DISNEYLAND CRACKS DOWN ON GUESTS WITH SWEEPING NEW RESTRICTIONS, SPARKING BACKLASH
The resort regularly makes limited-time ticket offers available throughout the year, including through third-party retailers, according to Disneyland Resort officials.
The Costco package has since caught the attention of theme park fans online as travelers compare the price with the cost of purchasing tickets directly from Disneyland.
In a recent Instagram post, one theme park content creator highlighted the $329.99 price and the included Lightning Lane access and dining card.
"Costco has a Disneyland deal right now that is actually WORTH talking about!" the user wrote.

By comparison, a two-day Park Hopper ticket is currently listed at $445 for one adult on Disneyland's website, before adding Lightning Lane — though pricing is subject to change.
That puts the Costco package about $115 below the currently listed two-day Park Hopper price, although the two options come with different terms and restrictions.
The offer also comes as Disneyland adjusted some of its ticket prices this week.
Mid-tier single-day tickets increased by $5, while the least expensive $104 ticket and the highest-priced $224 ticket remained unchanged, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The cost of Lightning Lane can now reach $38, up $1, while the Park Hopper add-on for single-day tickets increased by $5 to $10, depending on the date, the outlet reported. Multi-day ticket prices were unchanged.
Hugh Johnston, CFO of The Walt Disney Company, speaking at the recent Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference in San Francisco, said the company is keeping ticket prices accessible for younger families by offering lower rates during off-peak value periods.
"It's something that we're acutely sensitive to because we want to make sure we continue to bring young families, in particular, into the parks and develop that Disney love, right?" he said.
"So we're super sensitive to the fact that, particularly in the value times of the year, we keep those ticket prices relatively low so that we can actually encourage those young families to come in," he added.
The Costco ticket can be used between Oct. 2 and Dec. 18, according to information shared by the Instagram user.
Once a guest uses the ticket for the first time, the second park day must be used within 13 days, the video said.

Theme park reservations are also required for each visit, and the ticket is nonrefundable, according to the information shared online.
The same person must use both days of the ticket, meaning the two visits cannot be split between different travelers.
The offer is currently limited to select Costco locations in California, Disneyland Resort officials told Fox News Digital.
The package has generated mixed reactions among Disney fans online, with some questioning the cost of park visits and others praising the bundled price.

"Sadly, that's still not affordable for us right now," said one person on Reddit.
Others were more enthusiastic about the offer.
"That's actually a pretty good deal," one user wrote.
