    Markham from AZ Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    Am I able to pay for a Park hopper for just one day on a two day pass? I have family that want to park hop because they have a one day pass. But I don’t want to buy the two day park hopper if I’m not going to use the second day.

    Hey Markham,

    Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question! You are just a few days from your trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, so let's ensure you have all the information you need for a magical visit. 

    It sounds like you have already purchased a 2-day, 1-Park Per Day Ticket. I hope I have that right! As you may have suspected, you can upgrade your ticket to include Park Hopping, but it would apply to the full ticket. In other words, it's not possible to upgrade just one day of the two-day ticket. I'm sorry to have to relay that news, as I know it's not what you were hoping to hear!

    The good news is that it's very easy to make this change with just a few taps in the Disneyland Mobile App if you do decide you'd like to make the upgrade. When you head into the app, tap the three-line icon in the bottom right-hand corner and select "My Tickets & Passes". Scroll to your ticket, and you should see a link to "Change Ticket". Here, you will select which ticket you'd like to change, then scroll to "Ticket Type" to see your options for adding park-hopping capability. With this upgrade, you would be able to crisscross between Disneyland and California Adventure as much as you'd like after 11:00 am. 

    While I know you weren't planning to hop, there are some limited-time offerings happening in both parks that you will be able to catch this weekend! California Adventure's Food and Wine Festival runs through April 21st. Not only can you snack and sip your way through your day with tasty bites infused with local ingredients, but there are just a few days remaining to enjoy Soarin' Over California. Over at Disneyland, Season of the Force is in full swing, offering exclusive experiences fit for a Jedi. I heard that Luke Skywalker has even been spotted walking through Batuu!

    Markham, I hope this was helpful in your planning and that we've set you up for a successful day at the parks. If you have any more questions, please come back to see us real soon.
