Hiya, Gillian, and welcome to planDisney!
Oh boy, your trip to The Happiest Place on Earth is mere DAYS away. I bet you can’t wait to be walking right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. with a churro in hand and Sleeping Beauty Castle in your view!
I’m sorry to hear
Theme Park Reservations are currently unavailable for your friend to join you at Disneyland Park during your visit, but don’t give up hope quite yet. Guests change their plans all the time, so there’s a chance availability could open up at
Disneyland Park before your arrival. Keep checking the
Disneyland Resort Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar a few times a day to see if anything new pops up. If so, scoop up that Theme Park Reservation faster than you can say
bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!Your other option is to make a reservation for your friend at
Disney California Adventure Park since it has availability for the date of your trip and have him upgrade his base ticket to a
Park Hopper Ticket at the ticketing window. This will allow him to Park Hop over to Disneyland Park to join the rest of your party after Park Hopping begins at 1:00 p.m. While he would miss out on the morning hours with your crew, it would at least allow him to join you for the afternoon and evening.
Gillian, I hope this information proves useful. If you think of any other questions we can help with before you set off on your magical vacation, don’t hesitate to stop by and let us know.
See ya real soon,
Alyssa
