Hi Darianne! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney.
The
SoCal Ticket Offer is such a great value and an awesome way to explore the parks more this season. I'm so glad you were able to purchase it for yourself and that your friends will be joining you. It sounds like you're in for a fun time together! Be sure to check out the Disney California Food & Wine Festival, which just started at Disney California Adventure Park. I want to try the Peach Cobbler Cocktail from the Golden Dreams booth. There are a bunch of must-try items on my list. Check out the
Foodie Guide if you want to plan your taste testing too.
The good news is that your friend can add the flexible Park Hopper option to her admission ticket by calling the
Tickets phone line where a helpful Cast Member can assist her. However, her existing
theme park reservations will most likely be canceled when she does this. I'd check the
theme park reservation availability calendar before making this adjustment to ensure there are still theme park reservations she can grab for your preferred park dates. Availability is not guaranteed, but the sooner you book, the greater the likelihood that your preferred park and date will be available.
Your friend should have her ticket ID number and a method of payment ready to go before speaking with the helpful Cast Member on the Tickets phone line. There will be a difference in price in adding the Park Hopper upgrade, which your friend will need to pay. Prices are subject to change.
I hope you all have a magical time together!
Elizabeth
