Hey there, hi there, Ruby! Welcome to planDisney. It's a pleasure to help you with your ticket question!
I am thrilled to hear you are thinking about getting the
California Resident Ticket Offer to enjoy a couple of visits in 2026! This is really such a fantastic offer, and I am sure it will be quite popular. As you are mentioning, when you purchase your ticket, you will be instructed to pick your three dates and starting parks. This will then become your
theme park reservations. As long as there is availability, you can cancel or modify your reservations as many times as you need through the validity dates. I will say historically once you get down to the last month, if you have visits left, I suggest securing the reservations sooner than later, as the last few weeks will fill up with everyone trying to get in their last visit before they expire.
I love that for this ticket offer, you will be able to visit during some of my favorite festivals! Both
Lunar New Year and
Disney California Food & Wine Festival will be going on during the ticket offer. As a Disneyland foodie, these are always a must-do for me. Keep checking the
Disney Parks Blog for more information on happenings in the parks, as well as the Foodie Guides for each of these festivals.
Ruby, thanks so much for stopping by! We are here if you have any other questions about this ticket or about planning any of your visits!
Carrie
