Hey there, Kalei! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney. I've so excited to hear you booked a
Disney Resort vacation package! You are about to experience the magic of Disneyland Resort!
You are correct that four days before your arrival, your eTickets should drop into your account. You can start making reservations and plans right away though, now that you have your confirmation number. I'd be happy to walk you through that.
You'll want to start out on the
"Theme Park Tickets and Reservations" page. From there, scroll down and click "Make Park Reservations". After you log in to your account, you will be taken to the "My Theme Park Reservations" page. You can then scroll down and click on the "Retrieve Hotel Reservation" button. Then, you will be directed to fill in your confirmation number, last name, and arrival date. Now, you can make your theme park reservations!
If your package included Park Hopper tickets, you will choose which park you would like to start in each day. Note it may say something like, "Disneyland Park All Day" when confirming the park. Don't worry! If you do indeed have a Park Hopper ticket, you will be able to hop on over to the other park after 1:00 p.m. each day.
If you will be in the parks in January, be sure to check to see if your trip coincides with my two favorite festivals of the year. Both,
Disney Festival of the Holidays and
Lunar New Year festivals take place in Disney California Adventure Park, featuring special food offerings and entertainment. I highly recommend the Sip and Savor Pass, that way you can eat and drink your way throughout the day and enjoy as many of the limited food offerings as possible!
I hope this information helps you out. Thanks again for visiting planDisney! I hope your trip to The Happiest Place on Earth is MAGICAL in every way!
