Hiya Paul! Oh boy! I'm so thrilled you have a visit to the Happiest Place on Earth in the works!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your question. While staying at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel is incredibly magical, any Guest with a
Park Hopper ticket must select the park where they will begin their day, regardless of where they are staying.
To select your starting park and make reservations, you'll need to first link your theme park ticket to your
Disney Account, if you haven't done so already. Simply hover over "My Disneyland" at the top of
the Disneyland website and select "Link Tickets and Passes." You'll then be asked to enter the ticket ID number - which should be located underneath the barcode. After your tickets are linked, head over to "
Make or Modify Park Reservations" and select "Book Theme Park Reservation" to begin the selection process. Hope that helps!
Paul, I'm also happy to share that you can also change your reservation dates at any time, if there's availability. You can do this in either the
Disneyland app (from the ☰, select "Park Reservations" under Plan My Next Visit) or on
the Disneyland website. I hope this comforts you, knowing you have lots of flexibility!
As you continue to prepare for a visit to Disneyland, Paul, I'd love to share more of my tips and recommendations for a truly magical time at the Happiest Place on Earth! Feel free to reach out again to discuss delicious dining, how to use the Disneyland app, strategies to maximize the magic, or whatever other planning questions you have.
See you real soon!
Warmest wishes,
McCayla
