Hey there, Darlene! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question.
Darlene, you will need both a
ticket and
park reservation to enter the park, hence you’ll want to secure a reservation before you visit. I know it can be frustrating if you don’t see your desired date(s) available, but do keep checking, as I have seen
reservation availability change quickly. When other Guests change plans and cancel their reservations, those become available in the system for someone else to use.
Your ticket will remain linked to your account until you’re ready to use it. Tickets typically have a long runway to use them. For instance, a
one-day ticket purchased this year will not expire until end of NEXT year. If you want to be certain about the expiration date of your ticket, you can contact
Ticket Services to confirm.
Sending you pixie dust to get that reservation secured soon.
Fingers crossed for you,
Kamini
