Hello there, Dane! Sending you a friendly welcome to planDisney from sunny California! Can you believe it? Your magical adventure to the Happiest Place on Earth is just around the corner—next week, in fact!
It sounds like you're ready to experience the best of both magical worlds at the Disneyland Resort—the wonder of Disneyland Park and the thrills of Disney California Adventure Park! That's the spirit! I totally agree that hopping between parks is the ultimate way to maximize the magic!
Now that you've got your tickets in hand, you're all set to sprinkle on some extra enchantment and upgrade them to fit your dream plans. Just a little note, Dane, if you decide to add the Park Hopper option, remember that this upgrade will apply to all the days of your visit. To work this upgrade magic, simply open the
Disneyland mobile app, tap the menu button (the three-lined icon at the bottom right), and tap "My Tickets & Passes". If your passes are linked to your account, you'll see them all listed there. Once you've found the ticket you'd like to transform, you might see an option to modify it right there in the app. If so, just follow the steps and pay the difference in price—it's like a little bit of Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo right at your fingertips! If you don't see the option to modify your tickets in the app, don't worry! You can also reach out to a friendly Cast Member via the
tickets hotline, and they’ll be happy to help!
Now, Dane, you also wish to venture to Disney California Adventure Park on your second day? No problem at all! With a flick of the wrist (or a tap on the screen!), you can make that happen! From your computer or mobile browser, simply visit the
Park Reservations page and click on the "Make or Modify Park Reservations" button. Or, in the Disneyland app, just tap the plus sign (+) at the bottom and choose "Make a Park Reservation”. You’ll be able to make the switch if reservations are available on the day you’d like to visit.
Now that we’ve got your ticket questions answered, Dane, I'd love to share about the
Lunar New Year celebration at California Adventure that runs through February 16th! It's a fantastic festival filled with entertainment, decor, and of course, delectable treats! There are so many limited-time eats and drinks to choose from, so the
Foodie Guide to the Lunar New Year 2025 over at the Disney Parks Blog is a must-read! Don't be surprised if you catch me munching on that serpentine-shaped sourdough bread somewhere in the park. You can find this fun and delicious snack at the Boudin Bread Cart in
San Fransokyo Square. And, by the way, just one trip through
The Bakery Tour, and I bet you won't be able to resist grabbing some bread to go. Great news—it travels well, so you can enjoy a taste of Disney magic even after you leave the parks!
So, Dane, whether you decide to embrace the spontaneity of a Park Hopper and bounce between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park throughout both days, or simply adjust your reservation to experience both parks, one thing is for sure: you're in for an unforgettable adventure! I hope you have a truly spectacular time making memories at the Happiest Place on Earth!
