I think it&#8217;s kind of time at this point for us as a elected body to review this.&#8221; Rubalcava proposed that an initiative be placed on the November 2026 ballot for residents to decide whether or not to tax the city&#8217;s entertainment destinations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The City Council formerly had extended a 30-year ban on a gate tax that started in the 1990s, but this was revoked at Disney&#8217;s request in 2018, citing the agreements then as a source of friction in the community. A few years ago, in 2022, the council voted against a proposal to ask voters if they would support a 2% gate tax on Anaheim&#8217;s major attractions, such as Disneyland, Angel Stadium, and the Honda Center. According to the Orange County Register, &#8220;projections then said a gate tax could bring in $55 million to $80 million annually.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/fb8JnhXE1bZdSaY7HqiWXg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTcyMDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/mickey_visit_articles_422\/e58c2138cfded61acaed9bbf83811650\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Interestingly, this wasn&#8217;t in the DisneylandForward agreement, which the Anaheim City Council approved last year. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mickeyvisit.com\/disneyland-multi-year-expansion\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:DisneylandForward is the multi-year resort development plan;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">DisneylandForward is the multi-year resort development plan<\/a> that will allow for the integration of new theme park experiences, hotels, restaurants, and more on Disney&#8217;s property. <span>While Disneyland tickets are not subject to a sales tax, on the other coast at Disney World, there is a 6.5% tax when purchasing tickets and a 6% tourism tax for Orlando area hotels on top of the county sales tax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This news comes as we are <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mickeyvisit.com\/disney-ticket-increase-september-7-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:expecting Disneyland ticket prices increase soon;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">expecting Disneyland ticket prices increase soon<\/a>.\u00a0During the last decade, the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mickeyvisit.com\/disneyland-price-increases-data\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:highest-priced Disneyland 1 Park Per Day ticket has increased;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">highest-priced Disneyland 1 Park Per Day ticket has increased<\/a> in cost by $110, a 114.58% increase, as the resort continues to expand and demand for its experiences remains high.
