Hello again, Barb, and welcome back to planDisney!
How exciting that your trip is getting closer and closer! Whenever I have a trip planned, I have a Disney countdown calendar on my desk which I tick down every day. It helps add to the anticipation, so I hope you're feeling the same way!
The
Park Hopper option is an all or nothing addition to your ticket, Barb. It will be a flat fee charged per ticket whether you use it for one day or both days, so if you do add it to your ticket, it makes sense to take advantage of the option on both days.
In order to add the Park Hopping option after you've purchased tickets, please call a Cast Member at the
Guest Information and Ticket sales phone line and they will be happy to help you. You may also visit the Main Entrance Ticket Booths at the Esplanade outside both Parks on the day of your visit to do this in person. However, if you upgrade your tickets in person, you will be subject to reservation availability because changing your ticket invalidates your prior reservation, so I would recommend calling ahead of time.
I hope you'll be packing your appetite, Barb, because you'll be visiting during the popular
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival! I love purchasing a Sip and Savor Pass and exploring the various food kiosks to plan out my culinary adventure. To get a taste of what to expect, check out the
Foodie Guide that was posted on the Disney Parks Blog.
Fun Fact: Speaking of yummy foods, did you know that Doritos were invented in Disneyland Park in the 1960s from bits of discarded tortillas that they didn't want to go to waste?
Barb, I hope you found this response helpful in your planning and I wish you the most magical trip to the Disneyland Resort! As always, please return again if you need anything else from us. We love being involved in your vacation planning. Until next time!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
