Hi Bryanna! Thanks for dropping by planDisney.
Let's see if I can't help you with your planning! Admission to the theme parks requires a valid
admission ticket and a
theme park reservation. Since reservations do frequently fill up, I'd strongly recommend making those arrangements prior to your visit. You can check the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar to make sure your desired dates and parks are available prior to making your reservation. Waiting until you arrive could lead to a not-so-magical experience.
However, it is not possible to make a theme park reservation without an admission ticket. Do you have a
Magic Key pass? If so, you would have been able to make your park reservation and you don't need an additional ticket for entry. Perhaps you made a
dining reservation? Or perhaps you booked an experience from the
Enchanting Extras Collection? If either of those things are the case, you'll still need to purchase an admission ticket and make a theme park reservation. Or you might have had an unused ticket in your Disneyland account that allowed you to make the theme park reservation. If you're not sure, I'd suggest calling the
Tickets phone line, where a helpful Cast Member can assist you. They tracked down a lost ticket for me recently with a little digging.
Good luck and I hope you get to visit soon! There are so many new things to experience with the
Disney100 Celebration underway that you won't want to miss.
Have the best time!
Elizabeth
