Hey there, hi there, Shelley! Welcome to planDisney. Thanks so much for dropping by to ask us your planning question!
I am excited to hear you are in the early stages of planning a Disneyland trip next year. That is so exciting! Securing tickets will definitely be a great way to get the planning started! If you head to the Disneyland website and
go through the steps of purchasing a ticket, you will see the options for payment. There is a PayPal - Pay Later option that will allow you to split your purchase up into smaller payments. Another option would be to check out the
Disney Visa Card if you are looking for a credit card option. This will also allow you to earn points to turn into Disney Reward Dollars to use on your trip! Cardholders also have
special opportunities for character experiences, and you'll find special offers from time to time as well.
I will let you know that
theme park reservations are currently required, along with a ticket for entry into the parks. Theme park ticket reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance. So while your dates are not yet available for reservations, you can still purchase tickets and make mock reservations to get through the purchase process. Then, once you are in that window to make reservations, you can go in and modify your reservation dates.
Shelley, I hope this information helps you start your planning. We will be here every step of the way and ready to answer any other questions you might have!
Carrie
