Howdy Hey, Norma!
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for bringing us your question! I’m glad to have the opportunity to help you plan the dates of your visit, so that it’s everything you dream it to be. Making
theme park reservations with your
theme park tickets is such an important part of planning your magical visit, I want to make sure you get the answer you need so that your stay will be practically perfect in every way.
In order to attend one of the theme parks at the
Disneyland Resort, reservations must be made for the date that you want to visit
after you have purchased
admission tickets. The reservation system to enter the park allows guests to cancel up until the clock strikes midnight the evening before their stay. You can do this by going to My Theme Park Reservations and click on the "Cancel Reservation" link.
Norma, have you downloaded the
Disneyland Mobile app yet? This is what you’ll need to scan your theme park tickets when you arrive, and you'll also be able to manage your reservations. In the app, you would first need to click on the icon of three horizontal lines in the lower right corner. Then, choose “Future Plans” on the left side. From there, you should see all of your theme park and dining reservations. Next, you’d just choose the reservation that you want to cancel or change, and the app will open a browser window for you to link your tickets to a reservation where you can follow the directions above.
Now Norma, I can tell you that every time I cancel a reservation, I make sure to check the
availability calendar to make sure that a future date that I’m interested in is also available. I’m definitely not like Queen Elsa, because the cold does bother me, and I wouldn't want to be left out in it!!
If you have an admission ticket that is still unused, and you're not able to visit before it expires, you can apply the purchase price toward the cost of a new ticket of the same or higher value.
I hope you found this information helpful, Norma, and that I gave you a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine of navigating the reservation system go down. If not, please
come back and visit me here if you have another question about planning your visit.
You’ve got a friend in me,
Danielle
