Hey there, hi there, Jessica! Welcome to planDisney! We love helping Guests get all the answers to their planning questions.
I am so excited to hear you are booking a visit to Disneyland Resort this holiday season. Whether it's your first or fiftieth time to Disneyland, you'll never tire of seeing Main Street and the Sleeping Beauty Castle all lit up and festive. Since you booked outside of Disney, I recommend contacting who you purchased your package through as they will have best instructions for you. If your package allows you to make a payment directly through Disneyland, you should be able to do this after you've linked your reservation on the Disneyland website. Once it's linked, hover over "My Disneyland", and then click on "My Hotel Reservations". This should show an option to make a payment. If you purchased a
vacation package, tickets are not linked to your account until a few days before your arrival. However, you should have been given instructions on how to make
theme park ticket reservations before your tickets link to your account. Theme park ticket reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance.
I recommend that as your trip nears you check out the
Disney Parks Blog to find the latest information on all the
holiday festivities going on in both parks and throughout the resort. There's so much to see and do during the holidays!
Jessica, thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your visit is full of holiday magic!
Carrie
