Hey there Elise,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for this excellent question. Also - WOW! - it looks like you'll be at the Disneyland Resort in just a few days. How exciting!
You're correct that Guests need both a valid
theme park ticket and a
theme park reservation for each day they plan to visit the Happiest Place on Earth. However, I'm happy to share that both of these are handled as part of the purchase process if you bought your ticket through the Disneyland Resort website.
To double check and ensure your theme park reservations are set up for your upcoming trip, I would recommend checking the
My Plans hub. On this page, you'll be able to view and manage the reservations for each day of your trip.
Additionally, these reservations are fairly flexible. If you change your mind and want to switch your reservation to the other park, you can do so through the My Plans hub as long as there are still available reservations.
You'll be visiting in the midst of the
70th Anniversary Celebration, which has a lot of fun little extra touches throughout the parks and also some really delicious food and beverage offerings, which you can learn more about on the
Disney Parks Blog Foodie Guide.
Thanks again for your question, Elise! I hope you have a wonderful time at the Happiest Place on Earth. Make sure to stop by and see us again if you have any other questions!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
