Hi there, Brenda! Welcome to planDisney!
This is exciting news! It has certainly been a long time since you've visited the Happiest Place on Earth! There have been quite a few changes since the last time you were at the Disneyland Resort, including immersive new "worlds," like
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and
Avengers Campus. With thrilling rides, themed dining locations and more fun characters than your heart can handle, you do not want to miss these new additions!
Brenda, I'm sure Mickey, Minnie and all their pals can't wait to welcome you home. However, another new addition to the Disneyland Resort is the
Theme Park Reservation System. All Guests who wish to enter either
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park must have valid park reservations for the day of their visit. When you purchase your tickets via the
Disneyland Resort Website, you will be prompted to choose a date for those tickets before you check out. This also serves as your park reservation date.
I'm very sorry that you're unable to find availability on the date you'd like to visit. While I wish I could cast a magic spell to help get you in that day, my wand only extends so far. Many Guests are flocking to the Disneyland Resort with the return of
Character Greetings and Nighttime Spectaculars, so it is not uncommon for dates to sell out this far in advance. Your best bet is to check the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar frequently, as it is subject to change as Guests' plans change. For example, if one Guest cancels a park reservation, it becomes available for another Guest (you!) to book! If you keep the Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar handy and check it every day, maybe even a few times per day, your wish may just be granted!
On my end, when I open the Theme Park Reservation Availabilty Calendar right now, I do see that Disneyland Park is available for reservations on June 6, 2022, though that is subject to change and often changes quickly! If you happen to see that one of the parks is available on that day, jump over to the Disneyland Resort Website to purchase your tickets and secure your reservations immediately!
Brenda, I know this may not be the "easy way," but if it gets the job done, that is all that matters! I'll keep my fingers crossed that you're able to set out on a magical adventure at the Disneyland Resort very soon!
Hakuna Matata,
Ashley
