Hi Mark!
Thank you for bringing your question about changing your
park tickets to us here at planDisney! My fellow panelists and I are happy to help guests like yourself create the best experience possible during your Disney vacation! If I have a flight the day before my official check-in, I try to maximize my time at the parks by visiting the day prior to my
Disney Resorts Collection hotel stay. It's a great way to have a magical start to your vacation!
In order for you to visit the parks on March 16th, you would need to change your ticket arrival date. This can easily be done by logging into your
My Disney Experience App and selecting Tickets and Passes, which can be found on the main page. You will then select the tickets you are looking to modify, and the option Change Ticket. You will then see the calendar, which will allow you to select the new start date of your tickets, with a potential for an additional cost, as ticket pricing is based on dates. If you are looking to upgrade your tickets from 4-day to 5-day, in order to include the date of the 16th, you can do that on the App as well.
My Disney Experience App Tip: There are so many new features of the MDE App, so make sure you take the time to review everything. There are Disney PhotoPass lenses (available with the purchase of Genie+) which are super fun and can add a bit of Disney when you aren't vacationing at the House of Mouse.
Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
