Hi there, Jose! Welcome to planDisney. I have to say, the new California Resident Ticket Offer is so good that I'm wishing upon a star that my family could just do a quick summer move back to the Golden State to take advantage! With a 3-day ticket valid between June 13th - September 15, 2022, you get to enjoy all the sights and sounds of summer in the parks with a little dose of fall. We just found out that
Halloween Time will land at the Disneyland Resort on September 2nd, so save a day to spend with some happy haunts!
When it comes to using your
California Resident Ticket, you have a lot of freedom and flexibility within the dates that it is valid. First, you have two ticket options. The Monday-Thursday ticket permits entrance every day except Friday, Saturday, and Sunday while the Monday-Sunday ticket has no black-out dates. You can use them on consecutive days OR spread them out over the summer, and the choice is yours when it comes to which park you plan to visit! The only parameter to be aware of are that dates are subject to theme park reservation availability, so you'll want to check that
reservation calendar when making your plans. Reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance, and I would recommend making reservations for the days you
think you will be using them, even if plans aren't quite set in stone. You can always cancel and reschedule a reservation, but they can be limited as you get closer to the date.
When purchasing your tickets, you will also have the option to add the Park Hopper Option and
Genie+. When you make your reservations as part of the checkout process, you will choose the park where you will spend your day. If you add the Park Hopper option, you would select the park where you will start your day, with hopping available after 1 p.m. when you can bounce between them as much as you like! When it comes to Genie+, you have the option to add this to your ticket at the time of purchase or wait until you are in the parks. If you know for sure that you will use Genie+ each day, it probably makes sense to add it at the time of purchase. If you're not sure, holding off until you are in the parks allows you to decide each park day if you would like to add it, so you have a bit more flexibility. You would simply open up the Disneyland Mobile App and navigate to the "+" in the bottom navigation bar. Click into "My Genie Day and Tip Board" and toggle to "My Day" where you'll see the option to upgrade to Genie+!
Jose, if you do decide to save a day for September, you will be thrilled to find out that both parks will have all of their spook-tacular decorations and Halloween festivities in full swing! If spending the day at Disneyland Park, you won't want to miss Jack Skellington and his Nightmare Before Christmas crew taking over
Haunted Mansion Holiday. If over at Disney California Adventure Park, take a spin on
Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree or, if you're feeling brave, drop into
Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark!
Jose, you're in for a magical summer! If any more questions pop up along the way, you know where to find us here at
planDisney.
Never stop dreaming,
Tara
