    We have booked tickets and lightning passes for 3 people for Dec 10 and Dec 11, 2025. We have not been able to book theme park reservations.

    Hello, Laurie,

    This sounds wonderful. You'll be experiencing the Holidays at the Disneyland Resort during the Disneyland Resort 70th Anniversary Celebration. That sounds like an epic vacation experience. I'm glad you are checking to make sure everything is "practically perfect in every way" before you enjoy a jolly holiday with Mary, Bert, Mickey, and Minnie.

    You're right that you need both theme park tickets and theme park reservations to enjoy a visit to the theme parks of the Disneyland Resort. If you have already obtained your tickets, I'm guessing you already have your park reservations too. That's because when you purchase your park ticket or link a purchased ticket to your Disneyland account, the system typically automatically steps through the process of also booking your park reservations.

    I recommend checking to make sure everything is all set for your visit. If you happen to commence the process of booking park reservations, you may notice a message that says something like "Unable to Make a Theme Park Reservation" or "This pass has reached its theme park reservations limit." Most likely, this type of message means that you already have those reservations that you need. So next, you can check the status of your reservations. I usually start by checking the "Future Plans" screen from the ☰ feature menu of the Disneyland mobile app. You can also visit the My Theme Park Reservations page and scroll down to the "Upcoming Theme Park Reservations" section. If you see reservations already in place that match your desired travel plans, you are all set. If you have reservations but the starting park is different than what you expect, you may use the "Modify Reservation" link to adjust your booking.

    If you don't see the reservations you expect I suggest using the "Book Theme Park Reservation" button on the My Theme Park Reservations page. When you proceed to the Create Your Party page, you should see your theme park tickets listed. If not, you may need to link your tickets to your account. After creating your party, move on to select the date or dates you wish to use your ticket. When selecting dates for a multi-day ticket, the calendar will automatically help you select dates within your ticket's window of eligibility. Most multi-day tickets may be used within 13 days after the first day of use or before the ticket expires, whichever comes first. Finalize your park reservation by agreeing to the terms and conditions and confirming your reservation selection. If the process of booking your reservations still doesn't work out for you, I recommend placing a call to the Tickets phone line for additional technical support.

    I hope that helps either give you the peace of mind you are seeking or the information needed to get your ducks in a row. Please feel free to write back to us here at planDisney if you have any more questions.

    Have a magical vacation, Laurie!
    ~Tony
