Howdy, Chelsea! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question. How exciting that you’re planning a visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
Chelsea, a theme park reservation is required for entry, so that is the first place to start. By checking the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar, you’ll be able to determine if your desired date is available. If you don’t see your desired date available, Hakuna Matata! It means no worries. Guests are often changing plans and reservations can magically become available, sometimes even from minute to minute. Hence, I suggest checking for availability often.
Once you are ready to
purchase your tickets, log in to
your Disneyland account and click on “Parks & Tickets.” Next, go to “Theme Park Tickets” and select your ticket type. From here you will proceed to make theme park reservations with your ticket purchase.
Chelsea, once you have your tickets and theme park reservations secured, you can also make
dining reservations, up to 60 days in advance of your visit. Sometimes dining reservations can also become available up to the last minute, so it’s worth checking often. The walk-up list at the restaurants is an option too – I have had decent luck getting seated within 30-60 minutes in most cases for our family of four!
Adventure is out there. Enjoy your magical experience!
