    I have a park hopper ticket. Do I have to wait until 11 to enter or can I enter one park at 8am and then hop over to the other after 11am? Thanks Michelle

    Greetings, Michelle. Thanks for stopping by with such a great question! Your visit to the Disneyland Resort is nearly here, so let's get you an answer!

    With a Park Hopper ticket, you will make a theme park reservation for the park you want to start your day in. Then, at 11:00 AM, you are welcome to hop over to the second park. You can hop between parks for the rest of the day, which I love since it allows me to check out the rides, entertainment, and food in Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. It's double the fun!

    Michelle, if you plan to purchase Lighting Lane Multi or Single Pass, you can also use that at both parks with a Park Hopper. You will make your first Lighting Lane Multi Pass selection as soon as you scan your theme park ticket for entrance. I've found that you can actually make a ride selection for the other park without physically being inside, as long as you've scanned into either park for the day.

    Based on the date of your visit, it appears that you might get to experience the last bit of holiday cheer at the Disneyland Resort. So grab those pictures with Mickey and his pals in their festive best during your trip!

    I hope this information helps, Michelle. Please let us know if you have any other questions. 

    Happy planning,
    Melissa
