🎠 Bring Back the Magic
Make Disneyland Affordable for Families Again
Disney was built for families — now it's priced only for the rich. It’s time to make the magic accessible again.
 
🌟 A Dream Out of Reach
As a lifelong Disney enthusiast, I’ve always cherished the magic that Disneyland embodies:
✨ The joy of seeing the castle for the first time
🎆 The wonder of fireworks
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The priceless moments shared with loved ones

But today, visiting Disneyland has become an unattainable dream for many families, barred by skyrocketing ticket prices.

📈 The Rising Cost of Disney Dreams
Ticket prices have risen over 70% in the last decade, according to the Los Angeles Times — far outpacing wage growth.

Additional costs such as:

Inflated food prices 🍔
Souvenirs and merchandise 🧸
Genie+ and Lightning Lane add-ons ⚡
$30+ parking 🚗
All combine to make a single day for a family of four easily exceed $2,000.

This is no longer a kids’ playground — it’s become a luxury resort for the wealthy.
 
💔 The Impact on Families Like Mine
As a parent of two, I’ve felt the heartbreak of telling my children we simply can’t afford to go.

And I know I’m not alone. Disneyland should be a place where families of all backgrounds can come together — not a place reserved only for the privileged few.

🎬 Walt Disney’s Original Vision

“Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America... with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.”
— Walt Disney
Walt envisioned Disneyland as an inclusive space where families of all income levels could enjoy a day of happiness and adventure.

That vision has been lost — but it’s not too late to bring it back.

📣 Our Call to Action: Make Disneyland Affordable for Families Again
We’re calling on Disney executives and park leadership to stop pricing out working families and bring Disneyland back to its roots — a place of joy for everyone, not just the wealthy.

We urge Disney to:

✅ Reintroduce affordable family ticket packages that allow parents and kids to visit without financial stress
✅ Offer discounted days or pricing tiers for low- to middle-income families, especially California residents
✅ Lower or eliminate extra fees for Genie+, Lightning Lane, and other up-charges that punish families who can’t afford VIP access
✅ Be transparent about total costs, so families can plan without being blindsided by hidden fees and surprise charges

We’re not asking for free admission — we’re asking for fairness.
A place where all parents and children can have fun, regardless of income.
