Hi there, Lisa,
I know that anxious feeling when trying to make sure everything is “
practically perfect in every way” for a visit to The Happiest Place on Earth. I’m happy to share with you some tips that I hope will help make for a magical time for you and your party.
As you are aware, each Guest of the Disneyland Resort theme parks currently requires both valid
theme park admission and a
theme park reservation. Because the number of park reservations is limited, they can occasionally run out. If you have found that the date you wish to visit no longer has reservations available, it’s still worth checking the
theme park reservation availability calendar often. You never know when other Guests may need to change their plans. So when they cancel their reservations, they may become available to you.
It is also worth double-checking your current reservation status. That is because when you
purchase tickets online or using the
Disneyland mobile app, the checkout process automatically includes booking a theme park reservation as well. You can check if you already have reservations using the
Disneyland Resort website. Under the “My Disneyland” menu, select “
Ticket and Reservation Details.” Then use the “Make or Modify Park Reservations” link to view "
My Theme Park Reservations." If you see reservations already listed there, you are good to go! Otherwise, you may use that page to book a new reservation for the date you wish to visit the theme parks.
Tony’s Tip: You can continue to check for reservations for as long as your theme park tickets remain valid. And even an expired ticket may be able to be upgraded to a new ticket of equal or greater value as long as it was
wholly unused when it expired. And don’t forget that theme park reservations are not required for visits to the
Downtown Disney District and the
Disneyland Resort Hotels, including for dining, shopping, and other activities.
I hope you have a magical time at the Disneyland Resort, Lisa!
