Hiya, Amy! Welcome to planDisney, where we happily answer all of your Disney vacation planning questions. It's always nice to make new friends!
As long as you have made a
Theme Park Reservation for your first park and actually tap into that first park before hopping, you should be able to hop over to
Disney's California Adventure Park starting at 11 a.m. Just note that it states on the
Disneyland Resort website that "the ability to visit the other park will be subject to that park's capacity limitations." While this doesn't happen often, it
can happen. The good thing is that the parks are so close together that it's pretty easy to hop from one park to another!
Amy, you are going right around the time when the parks are transitioning from Halloween to the holidays...and I just love the holidays at the Disney Parks. But the
holidays at the original Disney theme park? I'm not sure it gets better than that. While not everything will be up when you arrive, those hard-working and magic-making Cast Members usually
start decorating once the parks close on Halloween night. And if you're into the
holiday merchandise, there should be plenty arriving at the
merchandise locations when you are there! Plus, if you take a ride on
Haunted Mansion Holiday, you'll get the best of both the Halloween
and holiday seasons. It's a win-win!
Have a wonderful time at the
Disneyland Resort. Be sure to come back and
ask any questions you may have in the future!
And they all lived happily ever after,
Matt
