Hi there, Denise!
Welcome back to
planDisney, and thanks so much for stopping by to ask me a question! I’m happy to hear that you’re planning a
Disneyland Resort vacation soon. The timing of your visit is perfect since
Avengers Campus, an all-new land in Disney California Adventure Park, is scheduled to open on June 4!
My family and I love using Park Hopper tickets so we can experience the magic of both theme parks in a single day. As you mentioned, when you make your theme park reservation you pick the first theme park you want to visit upon arrival, and then you will be able to visit the other park after 1:00 p.m. that same afternoon. Yes, you should be able to return to
Disneyland Park in the evening if park capacity allows. Be sure to have your theme park ticket and your reservation QR code handy.
Have you experienced
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance yet? If you want to join a team of Resistance fighters and take on the First Order, I have great news for you! The Disneyland Resort has a convenient new procedure for joining the virtual queue for this popular attraction via the
Disneyland mobile app. Virtual queue enrollment occurs daily at 7:00 a.m. for Guests with a valid ticket and
theme park reservation who will begin their day at Disneyland Park, but you don’t have to be inside the park to enter the queue. Using the app, you can access the virtual queue system and check for an available boarding group before you even leave your hotel, home, or wherever else you may be!
I hope this helps you plan a practically perfect day in the parks, Denise, and that your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is a dream come true! Is there anything else we can assist you with? If so, please visit
planDisney again with more questions as your pixie-dusted vacation draws near.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
