    I just added my ticket to the app and all I can see are blockout dates ? Do I need to reserve my first day ?

    Hey there, Kelly! I’m so glad you stopped by planDisney—let’s dive right in and get your question answered!

    It sounds like your Disneyland Resort adventure is coming up in just a few short weeks—how exciting! When you add your ticket to the Disneyland mobile app, you’ll often see a calendar that lists available and blockout dates. Don’t worry—that’s totally normal! Blockout dates can vary depending on the type of ticket you purchased, and that calendar simply shows which days your ticket is valid for use.

    To visit the parks, you’ll still need to make a theme park reservation for each day you plan to explore either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park. It’s super easy to do right in the Disneyland app—just tap the plus (+) sign at the bottom of the screen, select “Make a Park Reservation,” then choose “Make or Modify Park Reservations.” Once you’re signed in, pick your date and choose the park you’d like to visit. If your ticket includes the Park Hopper feature, you'll select the park you'd like to start your day in, then you can “hop” to the other park beginning at 11:00 AM Pacific Time.

    If you purchased your ticket through a travel agent, they can also lend a hand in confirming your reservation details if you’d like a little extra help. Once your reservation is made, you’ll see your date and park listed in the app—that’s how you’ll know you’re ready to go! You can also chat with a Cast Member if you need a bit more assistance in booking your reservation.

    And Kelly, you couldn’t have chosen a more magical time to visit! During Holidays at the Disneyland Resort, the Happiest Place on Earth glistens with festive décor, sparkling lights, and the joyful sounds of the season. From the dazzling transformation of Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle and the heartwarming “A Christmas Fantasy Parade” to the breathtaking “Believe… In Holiday Magic” Fireworks Spectacular, there’s holiday cheer around every corner. Even attractions like "it's a small world" Holiday and Haunted Mansion Holiday join in the celebration, creating memories as bright as the twinkling lights along Main Street, U.S.A.

    With your visit just around the corner, Kelly, I hope your countdown is filled with excitement, laughter, and dreams of a holiday season wrapped in Disney magic!
