Hi, Tabatha!
I’m glad to hear you have plans to visit the
Disneyland Resort soon. Thank you for bringing this great question about
theme park tickets to
planDisney!
The
Park Hopper option is valuable because it gives you access to both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park throughout each day of your visit. Going back and forth between the two theme parks is the best way to fit as much magic into your days as possible. Did you know you can check estimated attraction wait lengths in real time using the
Disneyland mobile app? I like to use this tool to make the best choices as we hit our must-do attractions in both parks.
You actually are not able to add the Park Hopper option to only certain days of a multi-day ticket. Whether you add it on at the time of purchase or upgrade later, the Park Hopper cost must be added to the entire length of your ticket. Adding the Park Hopper option to a 3-Day ticket would likely still cost less than purchasing a 1-Day One Park Per Day ticket and a 2-Day Park Hopper ticket separately, so my advice is to plan to take full advantage of your park hopping privileges and make the most of each of your three days.
I hope this helps, Tabatha, and that your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is a dream come true! Please don’t hesitate to ask us more questions as you continue making plans.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
