Hey there and welcome to planDisney, Wendy. We're so glad you stopped by to share this question with us. Woohoo! Your visit to the Disneyland Resort is practically here so let's make sure you're all set to have a magical day.
Both a valid theme park ticket and a valid theme park reservation are required for entrance into both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. You definitely should make a
theme park reservation ahead of time and as soon as possible to ensure you can visit the parks on your desired days. I just checked the
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar and at the time of this writing, there are still reservations available for both theme parks on both of your visit days (subject to change). Keep in mind that each ticket will need its own theme park reservation for each day that you will visit the parks.
As you move through the process of making your theme park reservation, if you encounter an error message and the system tells you that you have reached your theme park reservation limit, you may already have your reservations. Here's how to check. Head to the Disneyland site and click on "Ticket and Reservation Details" found under the heading "My Disneyland." Next, click the button to "Make or Modify Park Reservations" and then sign into your Disney account. The next page will show all of your confirmed theme park reservations. If you see a reservation for each of your tickets and for each visit day, then you're good to go!
Your visit just happens to be during the opening weekend of
Pixar Fest at the Disneyland Resort. How exciting! I can't wait to experience this celebration of friendship and fun. I'm especially looking forward to seeing
Together Forever - A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular. It's going to be amazing to see Buzz Lightyear soar to infinity and beyond above Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Wendy, I hope this helps as you are getting ready for your magical adventure. Most of all, I hope you are able to secure your theme park reservations for your visit as soon as possible. Here's to making some magical memories at the Happiest Place on Earth!
