Hello there Jenny, welcome to planDisney! How exciting that you're planning a trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" here soon!
If you are purchasing a standard
Multi-Day ticket for 3 days, the ticket must be used within 13 days of first use or by January 12, 2025. If your first use is in late September, you could use the remainder of the days in early October as long as it is within 13 days of your first use. That could be a great option for you! I'd also check the
theme park reservation availability calendar to make sure there are reservations available, you'll need a corresponding
theme park reservation to accompany your ticket for each day you plan to visit.
I also see you're a Golden State resident! If you're looking at the
California Resident Ticket Offer, there are two options for you if you live within ZIP codes 90000-96199. There is a 3-day, 1-park per day ticket valid Monday to Thursday only, so no weekend dates are included. There is also a California Resident Ticket Offer valid Monday to Sunday, where you'll also enjoy a 3-day, 1-park per day ticket. These tickets are such a great value for California residents, however, I do want to point out that these tickets expire on September 28, 2023. They would not be valid into next month or beyond that date, so definitely take that into consideration as well!
It looks like you'll be visiting during
Halloween Time! There are so many fall festivities and entertainment to take part in such as the
Halloween Screams nighttime spectacular and a spooktacular experience on
Haunted Mansion Holiday. When you're making your theme park reservations, I'd definitely check the
park hours for each day since
Disney California Adventure Park does close early on some dates for the
Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween Party. You can make your reservation that day for
Disneyland Park if it's available, or at least plan that Disney California Adventure Park will be closing early that day for Guests without an Oogie Boogie Bash Ticket.
I hope you're able to purchase your tickets here soon Jenny! If we can help with any other questions as you plan your trip, please
come back to planDisney!
Have a magical day,
Melissa
