Hello, Teresa! Thanks for stopping by planDisney and asking your question!
I'm so glad that you are planning a multi-day trip to the Disneyland Resort! With so much magic to explore at both parks, considering a
Park Hopper ticket is a great idea! It sounds like you are visiting for three days, but only want to park hop on one day. The reason you aren't seeing this option (other than making two separate purchases) is because adding the Park Hopper option is a flat fee per ticket, not per day.
I just did a quick check of ticket prices and it is definitely more cost effective to purchase a three-day Park Hopper ticket than it is to purchase a two-day one park per day ticket and a one-day Park Hopper ticket. By purchasing a three-day Park Hopper ticket, you have the flexibility to park hop every day of your visit! So you could start your day riding all the classic attractions at Disneyland Park and then hop over to Disney California Adventure Park in the afternoon or evening and enjoy a dinner at
Lamplight Lounge. With the parks mere steps away from each other, park hopping could not be easier.
When making
theme park reservations with a Park Hopper ticket, you will make a reservation for the park you want to start at each day. Then at 1:00 p.m., you can hop to other park. You can even hop back and forth the rest of the day if you wish (subject to park capacity limitations).
I hope your trip to the Disneyland Resort is full of magic and memories!
