    Can I modify tickets to use early admission?

    Hey there, Cynthia! Welcome to planDisney. We are here for all your planning questions!

    It's the merriest time of the year at Disneyland Resort! I hope you are getting so excited for your upcoming visit. It sounds like you may have already secured your tickets and made your theme park ticket reservations, but realized Early Entry is at the opposite parks on those days. Early Entry is a wonderful perk for Guests staying at Disneyland Resort Hotels now through January 4, 2026. The great news is that theme park reservations can be modified as many times as you need, as long as reservations for the other park are still available. At the time of writing this, it looks like reservations for the holiday week are still available for both parks. I definitely recommend modifying so that you can take advantage of the 30-minute early entry. 

    Getting a head start on your park day means you will hopefully have some extra time to enjoy some of the holiday entertainment. A Christmas Fantasy Parade is celebrating its 30th year, and is something not to miss! There is also a lot of great entertainment over at California Adventure between ¡Viva Navidad! entertainment and the different live bands performing at Disney Festival of Holidays. Be sure to check out the Daily Events Schedule for times.

    Cynthia, we are so glad you stopped by! We hope you have the most magical holiday visit!
