Unfortunately for Mickey-lovers, it's been getting more and more expensive to visit everyone's favorite mouse at Disney Parks. However, Sam's Club wants to bring you the magic of Disney at a discount — up to $70 per ticket compared to gate prices, to be exact! The wholesale retailer announced that it's offering a variety of special deals on travel and entertainment, which include Walt Disney World and Disneyland Park tickets that start at just $42 . . . but there is a slight catch.

How Much Are Disney Tickets Usually?

Right now, Disneyland is offering special prices until May 18, 2019, but normally Disney ticket prices vary depending on date. They start at around $104 at either location for a one one-day, single-park ticket for guests ages 10 and up (the price goes down the more days you visit the parks; for example, a four-day visit will run you about $95 per ticket per day). Currently, the lowest-price tickets are for visits in May, August, and September 2019.

The lowest Disney tickets start at $45 on its site, which is a per-day, per-ticket price for a 10-day trip — Sam's Club's price for the same ticket is $42, so really, it's only a slight amount of savings on that particular deal, but let's explore the more realistic two- to five-day vacation prices.

How Much Will Disney Park Tickets Be at Sam's Club?

Here's a breakdown of the Sam's Club deals at both Disney parks:

When it comes to Disney pricing in general, pricing tends to go down the longer you stay and depends on the time of year you're planning your trip, so our best advice is to open up the applicable Sam's Club ticket and Disney ticket pages simultaneously to compare pricing for your particular trip.
