Hey there, hi there, Kailey! Welcome to planDisney. I'm excited to hear that you are already planning your adventure to Disneyland Resort next fall.
If you purchase
Disneyland tickets right now they will still be valid for September 2023. One-day tickets purchased in 2022 are valid until December 30, 2023. Multiday tickets purchased in 2022 need to be used within 13 days of the first day of use or by January 12, 2024, whichever occurs first.
While you can purchase tickets right now for September 2023, I do want to make you aware of two things that could complicate things for later.
The first thing is that you need both tickets and
theme park ticket reservations in order to enter the parks. Theme park ticket reservations can be made 120 days out. This means if you purchase a ticket right now, you would be prompted to select your dates and make reservations. So you would then need to cancel those reservations once you purchase the tickets and then wait to rebook them once you are within the 120-day window.
The second complication is a potential issue if you are purchasing 1-day tickets. This is because 1-day tickets are tier based. This means you would need to purchase the highest tier ticket to guarantee you'll be able to make reservations for that day. If you purchase a lower-tiered ticket now and find out later that your date is a higher tier, you would then need to upgrade your tickets. If you are purchasing multiday tickets this won't be an issue since they are not tier-based.
Kailey, I hope this information helps you make the best decision as to when you should purchase your tickets. Please come back and visit us again if you have any other questions!
