Aloha Brittney, thank you for stopping by planDisney with your great question. How exciting that you're planning a trip to the Disneyland Resort later this year!
Let's take a closer look at securing your
theme park tickets for your trip. When you purchase your theme park tickets, you can choose a 1 to 5-day ticket, as well as add on the
park hopper option and Disney Genie+ Service for each ticket. You'll also select how many adults and how many kids ages 3-9 are in your party when making your purchase.
The longest theme park ticket that is currently offered at the Disneyland Resort is a 5-Day ticket, so you'll need to purchase an additional 1-Day theme park ticket if you're looking for 6 days of magic! 1-Day tickets do vary in price depending on the day of your visit, and they utilize a
tiered pricing system. You may want to select the 1-Day ticket during your stay that has the lowest cost, and then utilize your 5-Day ticket for the other days you wish to visit Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park since the 5-Day ticket does not need to be used on consecutive days. During your ticket purchase, you'll also be prompted to make a corresponding
theme park reservation to accompany your theme park ticket for each day you wish to visit the parks.
Since we also are not local to the parks, we love to purchase
Disney Genie+ Service each visit so we can take advantage of the
Lightning Lane entrances and shorter wait times! We find it truly helps us maximize our time in each theme park, and we're able to experience so many of our favorite attractions. If you purchase Disney Genie+ Service in advance with your theme park tickets, you'll be able to make your first Lightning Lane selection in the
Disneyland app as soon as you scan your ticket for entry into the parks! We're usually booking Indiana Jones Adventure or Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! since they are both popular selections.
I hope this information helps you better plan your visit to the "Happiest Place on Earth," Brittney! I'm happy to help you with any other planning tips or recommendations, so don't hesitate to
follow-up with me directly if you need anything.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
