Welcome to planDisney, Deseray! Thanks so much for stopping by with a question for us!
How lovely to be gifted tickets to “The Happiest Place on Earth!" But, I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble securing a reservation before the ticket's expiration date.
Theme Park Reservation availability can vary from day to day as people modify or cancel their plans. I recommend checking the
Availablity Calendar often. I’ve even seen Guests obtain same-day reservations due to the 11:59 p.m. cancellation policy.
If you are unable to secure a Theme Park Reservation before the ticket’s expiration date, don't worry! According to
eTicket Terms & Conditions, unless otherwise stated, the amount paid for any wholly unused, expired Disneyland Resort theme park ticket (with the exception of Special Event Tickets) may be applied towards the purchase of a new theme park admission ticket at the current price. The new ticket purchase price must be equal to or greater than the amount paid for the original ticket. When you’re ready to visit, simply go to a Main Entrance ticket booth and, ask a Cast Member to apply your eligible ticket amount towards a new ticket purchase.
If you have any additional questions, please reach out to Ticket Services at (714) 781-4636.
Thanks again for dropping by planDisney!
