Heya, Melissa! Welcome to planDisney! It's fantastic to hear you're planning a Disneyland Resort adventure this spring—you've picked a truly exciting time to visit! But, now that I think of it, isn’t anytime a great time to stop by the Happiest Place on Earth?!
Let's dive into your question about upgrading one day of your 3-day, 1-park per day ticket to a
Park Hopper. While you can absolutely upgrade your ticket, the Park Hopper option is applied to the entire length of the ticket. So, in your case, upgrading means adding Park Hopper benefits to all three days, not just a single day.
If this sounds like a great plan, making the upgrade is a simple process! The
Disneyland mobile app is your best friend here—just tap the menu button (the three-lined icon) at the bottom right, select “My Tickets & Passes”, and locate your ticket. You should see an option to modify or upgrade it from there. If you run into any issues or prefer to have a helpful Cast Member assist you in your ticket upgrade, a
quick call to the Disneyland ticket services team should do the trick. Having that Park Hopper flexibility can transform your entire Disneyland experience! It's all about options and making the most of your time while you’re in the parks.
The real magic of a Park Hopper ticket is the freedom it unlocks. You'll still make a park reservation for your starting park, but after 11 AM, the entire resort is yours to explore! You’ll have the ability to experience the best of both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park on the same day. Want to ride a classic attraction in one park and then immerse yourself in a modern land in the other? You can! This flexibility is awesome, especially when you want to maximize your time. And speaking as a foodie myself, the sheer number of unique dining and snack options across both parks makes the Park Hopper a must-have for any culinary explorer!
And, Melissa, there's something extra special happening during your visit:
Season of the Force (March 28-May 11, 2025) at Disneyland Park. This celebration features the
Fire of the Rising Moons fireworks show over
Galaxy's Edge, a dazzling display set to the iconic Star Wars soundtrack. Plus,
Hyperspace Mountain, the Star Wars-themed version of
Space Mountain, will be back! So, if you're a Star Wars fan, this is definitely something you won't want to miss—it's one of my favorite attractions!
Whether you decide to go for the Park Hopper or stick with your original plan, I hope you have a fantastic time at the Disneyland Resort, Melissa! And if you do end up experiencing Season of the Force, may the Force be with you! Feel free to stop by planDisney at any time if any other questions pop up.
Have a magical visit!
Cody
