Hi Kimberly! Your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is just a few days away! You are just going to love strolling on Main Street, U.S.A. with popcorn in hand, listening to the park hustle and bustle. Everything is more magical at Disneyland!
I'm so glad to hear that you have both theme park tickets as well as
theme park reservations. I know a lot of Guests are navigating through the system for the first time, so it's great that you have all your pixie-dusted logistics good to go! The good news is that reservations can be canceled and rescheduled, so if you see that availability open up - go ahead and grab it! While changing your reservation can be done in a few easy steps, I do want to let you know that May is looking pretty busy and reservations can go quickly. The current process requires you to cancel your Disneyland Park reservation before making your Disney California Adventure Park reservation. There is a chance that the reservations could be gone by the time you get to the rebooking stage. That being said, as you have seen, Guests are constantly canceling reservations. I canceled one myself for this week earlier today! I would continue to keep an eye on the
theme park reservation calendar, especially on the days leading up to your trip or even the evening before your park day.
Now let's do a quick tutorial on how to change an existing reservation:
1. Simply open up your
Disneyland Mobile App and tap the three-bar menu in the bottom right-hand corner.
2. Select "Future Plans" and you should be directed to a page that lists all of your upcoming theme park reservations.
3. Scroll to the date you are looking to change and select "Cancel Reservation".
4. Follow the prompts from there and once the cancellation is confirmed, tap the "+" in the bottom navigation bar of the app and choose "Make a Park Reservation". From here, you will start the process at the beginning to make a new reservation for Disney California Adventure Park. If you have any issues, especially when you are on the ground in Disneyland, head to the Main Entrance Ticket Booths and talk to the Cast Members directly. They are full of magic and happy to help you!
