Hi Stephanie! Thanks for dropping by planDisney.
Yes, you currently need both a valid
ticket and a
theme park reservation to visit Disneyland Resort. When you purchase a ticket, you select your preferred date and park, which becomes your reservation. It's pretty easy! And it's flexible too: If life throws you a curveball and you need to modify your theme park reservation to another available date, you can do that quickly online.
One thing to remember is theme park reservation availability is never guaranteed and can fill up on popular days. Just because it shows availability now, doesn't mean it will stay available. So it's always best to make those plans as soon as possible for the best availability. If you want a quick way to check before solidifying your plan, take a look at the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar.
I hope you're able to experience the magic! If not today then someday soon. The
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival will be here before you know it, and I'm ready to start planning my must-eat and must-drink list. The
Foodie Guide has been published. Be sure to take a look if you're interested in experiencing the festival! Disney Eats is the official source of food and beverage park news, so it has all the great details.
Have a magical day!
