Hiya, Peter, and welcome to
planDisney! I always enjoy helping my fellow Californians, so let’s get started!
I can understand how this wording can be confusing, so I’d love to help clear it up for you. With a Park Hopper Ticket, you’ll only need to make one park reservation for where you’d like to start your day. Then, at 1:00 PM, you’re welcome to park hop to the other park, and continue going back-and-forth throughout the day, subject to availability. So, despite the “All Day” wording, you're still able to hop to the other park after 1:00 PM.
Peter, I’m so excited for you to experience the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort! There are so many special moments to look forward to, starting with my favorite, A Christmas Fantasy Parade. I checked
the calendar, and it looks like it’s set for 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM on your arrival day, but I always recommend double checking the
Disneyland app in case anything changes. In addition, the “it’s a small world” Holiday Lighting is another must-do, currently set for 4:45 PM. Last but not least, since you can park hop, don’t miss celebrating
Disney Festival of Holidays in Disney California Adventure Park! Be sure to eat and drink your way through the
Festive Foods Marketplace -- the Holiday Ham Slider at Food at Winter Sliderland is delicious!
Can’t wait to see ya’ real soon,
Kristin
