Hi Robyn! Welcome to planDisney. It sounds like you are planning for a special day at the Happiest Place on Earth!
If tickets were purchased through the
Disneyland Resort website recently, it's very possible you already made your
theme park reservations. To double-check, open up the
Disneyland Mobile App and tap the three-bar menu in the bottom right-hand corner. Choose "Future Plans" and on the next screen, you will see any reservations you have linked to your account. If you don't see anything here, it's time to make those reservations!
From the home screen of the app, tap on the "+" on the bottom navigation bar and you should see the option to select "Make a Park Reservation". If all of the tickets were purchased from your account or have been linked, you should be able to make reservations for all at one time. The next screen will have you select "Make Park Reservation" and then choose who you are making the reservation for. Once you've selected your party, you will be taken to the
calendar where you can select your date! For Park Hopper tickets, you will select the park where you will start your day with hopping available after 1 p.m. If you don't see any openings on your preferred date, keep checking! Guests are always modifying their plans and reservations can open up!
A Park Hopper is truly the best way to experience both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park! It only takes one minute to walk across the Esplanade between the two and you will be able to hop as much as you like through the afternoon and evening. One date to put on your calendar is that
dining reservations will open up 60 days out from your date. I know for me I like to have one point in the day where we slow down and take a break from the park hustle and bustle. Somehow it makes the day seem longer and lets the magic settle in all around you! One of my favorite spots to do this is
Carnation Cafe nestled right on Main Street, U.S.A. Walt himself frequented this spot and you can even order
Walt's Chili off the menu!
Robyn, I sure hope this was helpful in your planning. If you need anything else, come back to see us at
planDisney!
Magic awaits!
