Hi Ben,
Thanks so much for bringing your question to us here at planDisney!
I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble finding
theme park reservation availability during your visit to California, but yes, I'm happy to share that availability does sometimes pop up! Guests' plans change all the time, so it's certainly possible that something opens up. I'd encourage you to keep an eye on the
availability calendar and swing over to
buy your tickets as soon as possible if you see an opening. The great news is that you'll make your theme park reservation during the check-out process when you purchase your tickets directly from Disney, so you won't pay for tickets, then need to worry about wishing on a star that you'll be able to book reservations.
If you don't happen to find any availability, though, why not add some Disney to your day by spending some time at the
Downtown Disney District? With unique shopping, delicious dining, and fun entertainment, it's a great way to spend a day! You could also search for a
dining reservation at one of the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort. There is magic and fun to be had
throughout the Disneyland Resort!
Thanks again for stopping by planDisney, Ben. I'm sending pixie dust that your plans work out perfectly and you can enjoy some Disney magic during your vacation!
