Hi, Jennifer!
I'm so glad you reached out to planDisney with your question! Answering questions from fellow Jennifers always puts a smile on my face. It's a great name!
To do what you're hoping to do, you would need to purchase two separate
One-Day Tickets, one with Park Hopper and one without. Before you commit, I recommend comparing that total cost with the price of a Two-Day Park Hopper. Depending on your travel dates, the two-day option can sometimes be the better value, so be sure to enter your exact dates to see the most accurate pricing.
If you're traveling with a child, definitely take a look at the
Kids Summer Ticket Offer! It’s an incredible deal that is valid from May 22 through September 7, 2026 (subject to availability) and comes out to just $50 per day. I’m debating surprising my own kids with a quick summer visit just to take advantage of it!
You picked a fantastic year to visit Disneyland! If you love sampling local food and drinks, consider planning your trip before April 27, 2026, so you can experience the
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. It’s one of my absolute favorite events! Later in the year,
Halloween Time begins on August 22, 2026, bringing tons of festive decor, entertainment, and seasonal treats. It's the most spooktacular time of year!
Jennifer, I hope your visit to “The Happiest Place on Earth” is absolutely magical! If you have any more questions as you plan, please stop by planDisney again. We’re always happy to help!
Magic Happens!
Jen
