Hi Robin,
You'll be at The Happiest Place on Earth in less than one month! I hope you're counting down the days until all the magic and fun begin because you're about to make memories to cherish for a lifetime! I'm excited
for you!
While it's possible to create two different transactions and
purchase tickets the way you mentioned, with one One Park Per Day ticket and one 1-Day Park Hopper ticket, the great news is that the 2-Day Park Hopper ticket is actually a much better deal! It's a flat fee (currently $55) to upgrade to a Park Hopper ticket, whether you're adding it to a 1-Day ticket or a 5-Day ticket, and because the cost per day goes down the longer your tickets are, a 2-Day Park Hopper ticket is a much better value than two separate tickets. You'll be able to use your savings to enjoy some delicious Mickey-shaped snacks or magical souvenirs, and please feel free to take advantage of that extra day of park hopping if there's a beloved
attraction you want to ride just
one more time or you'd like to experience
Mickey's Mix Magic both nights during your visit!
Have you seen the Disney Parks Blog article highlighting
Seven Ways to Make it the Most Magical Summer at Disneyland Resort? I hope it helps build some anticipation as you think ahead to all of the incredible attractions and experiences you'll enjoy next month!
Thanks so much for bringing your question to us here at planDisney, Robin, and please feel free to come see us again if we can help with anything else. I hope you have a truly magical vacation!
