Hey there, Kate!
It's fun to see you here at planDisney! I'm excited for you that you'll be enjoying all the magic of
Disneyland Resort and the theme parks.
The
Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar is a key part of planning a visit to
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park. The calendar will show you when reservations are available for the theme parks. You'll quickly see when reservations are available for only Disneyland Park, for only Disney California Adventure Park, for both parks, or for neither park.
If the Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar shows that Disney California Adventure Park is the only park with reservations available as the starting park, you would be able to park hop to Disneyland Park that same day if you have a Park Hopper Ticket. You would need to visit Disney California Adventure Park first if that is where you make your starting park reservation. If Disneyland Park shows no reservation availability as the starting park, you would not be able to make a reservation to start in that theme park and visit for the day.
I do recommend checking the Theme Park Reservation Availability calendar frequently because
reservations for dates can become available on a rolling basis.
Kate, I hope this info is helpful as you plan your visit to take in all the magic of the Disneyland Resort theme parks. Be sure to
follow the Disney Parks Blog for updates on all the news and happenings at Disneyland Resort.
Here's wishing you lots of Disney magic in your day today!
Jerry
