Even Disneyland isn't insanely expensive for those who live locally - they have a "California Resident" pass to encourage locals to go during down times.

What makes it expensive is airfare and hotel added on top of the tickets.

Disney cancelled the old California resident program during the Covid shakeup.

The California-specific Magic Key was much more restricted than the old locals pass, clogged with blackout days.

It was $399/person. It's long been sold out and nobody knows when they'll sell more.

They now offer these tickets to California residents:

* 3-Day (Monday-Thursday), 1-Park Per Day Ticket – $249 ($83/Day) Not Valid for Admission on Fridays to Sundays * 3-Day (Monday-Sunday), 1-Park Per Day Ticket – $299 ($100/Day) No Blockout Dates Apply

A standard non-california 3-day single-park ticket is $330, so you're only saving $10 a day being a local.

The whole California local thing is basically gone except for the hotel/flight advantage.

What makes it expensive is the price, as outlined in the article.

If you want a subscription that you pay monthly, and you can go during the week, and forget about going at popular/busy times or to seasonal attractions.

As a sibling comment posts out, this is gone.

Disney has no reason to price discriminate in favor of locals-- indeed, locals don't buy as many souvenirs, etc.
