Hey there, hi there, Susan! Welcome to planDisney. You've brought us a great question about the new California Resident ticket offer.
You are correct that with a standard theme park ticket you would need to use the ticket within 13 days of the first day of use. I'm happy to share that with the
California Resident ticket offer, you do not have to use the ticket within 13 days of your first day of use. You can use your ticket for any date that the ticket is valid between June 13, 2022, and September 15, 2022. I think this is such a great perk to this ticket offer!
When you purchase your ticket through the Disneyland website, you will be instructed to select the days and park you wish to use your ticket for. This is because currently along with your ticket you need
theme park ticket reservations for entry into the parks. You would need to select all three days before you can continue to checkout and purchase your ticket. However, you can go in and cancel any reservations that don't work and reschedule for new days that have availability at any time after you purchase the tickets. You can do this on the website or through the Disneyland app, once you are logged in to your Disney account.
Once you have this all figured out then you can start making all the exciting plans for your days.
Dining reservations can be made 60 days in advance if you wish to enjoy a character dining experience or maybe a dining package for one of the nighttime spectaculars. I recently did the
World of Color Dessert Party with a planDisney pal and it was such a treat!
Susan, I hope this helps you make your final decision to take advantage of the Southern California ticket offer. See you real soon!
