Hello, Fatima,
I’m glad you came to planDisney to ask about that. Since there are only a limited number of
theme park reservations, it is possible that reservations run out for more popular days. And the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort tend to be especially popular. Although theme park tickets can be purchased in person, park reservations must still be booked. So it’s a good idea to check the
theme park reservation availability calendar before heading to the parks.
Tony’s Tip: Even if theme park reservations are not available for a given day, it’s worth
checking the calendar. Other Guests may need to change their plans. When they cancel their reservations, they may become bookable by you!
Tony’s Tip Times Two: You might also be interested in maximizing the magic of a visit to the Disneyland Resort by booking a stay at one of the three
Disneyland Resort Hotels. Among the many
benefits for Guests of the on-site hotels is access to
theme park reservations exclusively for hotel Guests. While a stay at a Disneyland Resort Hotel does not specifically guarantee access to the theme parks, I have noticed this special pool of reservations tends to have more availability, even on popular days. My family and I took advantage of this option for an amazing
New Year's Eve visit to the Disneyland Resort last year. It was a bit of a splurge for us. But it was totally worth it to enjoy that special vacation experience together.
I hope things work out for you to enjoy a visit to the Disneyland Resort theme parks, Fatima. Even if you don’t find park reservations available, I hope you either get an opportunity to visit on another day or maybe you can enjoy spending some time enjoying the dining and shopping opportunities at the
Downtown Disney District and the nearby
Disneyland Resort Hotels.
