    hello i am confused I purchased the ticket and selected the day to go to disneyland i read that I also must have a reservation do i need to do something else?

    Hi there, Lynn! Welcome to planDisney. There’s nothing more exciting than purchasing your tickets to The Happiest Place on Earth. It makes the magic feel more real when you see your tickets pop up on your app as you count down the days. I’d love to walk you through the process and confirm you’re all set for your visit.

    When you purchase your tickets, you’ll select the type of ticket you want, the number of days you plan to visit, the number of tickets, and whether or not you’d like to add the Park Hopper option. After making those selections, you’ll be prompted to reserve your ticket date by selecting the day you plan on visiting. This is the reservation process you were referring to. Once that’s complete, you’d choose your starting park if you opted for a Park Hopper and then move on to payment.

    On the subject of reservations, did you know that you can make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance? This is a great way to secure a table at hard-to-snag locations such as Blue Bayou Restaurant or even reserve non-dining experiences like the popular Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for those yearning for a royal transformation.

    Depending on how long your stay will be, Oogie Boogie Bash is set to kick off on August 18, bringing all the ghoulish fun that California Adventure has to offer. It’s a spooky good time for everyone!

    Lynn, thank you so much for visiting planDisney. I hope this clarified any confusion you had when making your ticket purchase. I hope you have a wonderful visit. If you need any more tips or advice, planDisney is here to help!
