Hi there, Eileen! You have a trip to the
Happiest Place on Earth coming! Super exciting. Come on, Eileen. Let’s get to planning! At this moment, your trip means everything!
I get the impression that you’re hoping to use the property you own in California to access the California Resident 3-day Park Hopper ticket deal. There are a couple of issues that may make that impossible. First, the offer is for a 3-day ticket, and you indicated that you’re only interested in a single-day ticket. Also, the method for verifying residence is a government-issued photo ID that indicates your address. Every member of your party using a California Resident ticket would be required to show this form of ID. If you can’t show that form of ID, you will not be allowed to enter the park. There are no refunds or exchanges.
With all that in mind, let’s get some answers to your questions.
To price out your tickets, go to
Disneyland.com and sign in to your Disney account. Hover over “Tickets and Parks” on the ribbon at the top of the screen and then click “Buy Theme Park Tickets.” You’ll then follow the step-by-step questions that will help you build the visit you’re looking for - in your case, Standard Theme Park Ticket, 1 day, 4 adults, and 1 child.
At this point, we have to make a choice. Since you’re planning on visiting for one day, I’d strongly suggest purchasing a
Park-Hopper Ticket. While the cost is higher, you can visit both parks and experience much more magic. I suppose if you have a very specific preference for one park over the other, a single-park ticket would suffice. However, if you want to experience as much as possible, it will require a Park Hopper ticket.
After that decision is made, you can select the date of your visit and the park in which you would like to start. This sets your reservation for the day! If you do choose a Park Hopper Ticket, you can start hopping at 11:00 a.m. The next page lets you add a
Lightning Lane Multipass for your entire party. This costs $34 per person, though prices are subject to change. You can also purchase parking at this time, for $40 per car (also subject to change). There are no savings for purchasing parking in advance, so if you want to wait and pay when you arrive, you can do that with no real difference in the experience. The next page will give you your total and lead you to a payment screen.
Eileen, you’re going to have a great time at the Disneyland Resort. Did you know that you’ll be visiting during the
Food and Wine Festival at
Disney California Adventure? There will be so many tasty treats! Check
