    I have a park reservation and it's showing up on my Disneyland app under "Upcoming Plans" with a reservation number and everything. Have I done everything I'm supposed to do prior to showing up on Monday (with my blue card)?

    Hello, David!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney. I think you arrived at Disneyland Resort today. Woo hoo! It looks like a perfect day to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and the Incredicoaster. 

    I'm sorry we didn't get to your question before you visited the theme parks! It sounds like you completed all of the correct steps to enter Disneyland, including purchasing park tickets and making park reservations. After that, just scan your ticket in the Disneyland app or tap your MagicBand+ at the park entrance to begin your most magical day! 

    I suggest purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass to maximize your time, especially if you are only visiting Disneyland for one day. My family recently enjoyed a day at "The Happiest Place on Earth" before sailing on a cruise, and I don't think we ever stopped moving! Between Lightning Lanes and low wait times, we rode most of the major attractions during that one day (including the new Soarin' Across America!). We also watched my favorite parade, Paint the Night, and enjoyed Fantasmic! It was an incredible day!

    If you have young kids with you (or adults who are young at heart), try stopping by Stitch's Interplanetary Beach Party Blast in Tomorrowland in Disneyland Park. My kids ate dinner at Galactic Grill while watching this dance party before joining in themselves. It was a lot of fun! Bluey's Best Day Ever! is also a must-do for Bluey fans!

    David, I hope you have the best time at Disneyland today! Don't hesitate to contact planDisney again if you have additional questions.

    Magic Happens!
