2. Weekends
Value priced tickets are available some Mondays through Thursdays. BUT—weigh your options carefully. Yes, you will pay a premium for weekend tickets, but you also get more value in terms of shows and fireworks. If your Disneyland experience is not complete without parades, fireworks, etc, then be sure to look at the show schedule before you go because those attractions are NOT available every day. You may want to pay a little more depending upon your preferences.
