Hey, Parker!
Thanks for bringing your
Disneyland Resort question to
planDisney. Your theme park visit is just around the pixie-dusted corner! I love using Park Hopper Tickets to experience the magic of both parks in a single day, and I think it’s a great tool to help make the most of your time.
Generally, you can upgrade your existing
theme park ticket to a ticket type of greater value (such as adding the Park Hopper option to a one-park ticket) by visiting a Disneyland Resort Main Entrance Ticket Booth. Since you’ve already used your existing ticket to make a
theme park reservation, you may want to keep that date and try to upgrade your ticket upon arrival. That way, you’d start your day at the park you already reserved and then hopefully be able to visit the other park after 1:00 p.m. that afternoon with your upgraded ticket if capacity allows.
However, please keep in mind that without having a Park Hopper ticket and theme park reservation in advance, a day-of upgrade can’t be guaranteed. At this time, ticket upgrades in the online purchasing system and
Disneyland mobile app aren’t an option. You’re always welcome to call (714) 781-4636 to speak with a Cast Member, however. Explain the situation and ask if it’s possible to upgrade your ticket before arriving.
I hope this helps and that you have a wonderful visit to the Happiest Place on Earth, Parker! Please write back with any other planning questions you may have.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
