    Can we purchase same day tickets at the ticket booth?

    Greetings, Sai! Thanks for stopping by planDisney and letting us be part of your planning magic.

    It sounds like you are beginning to dream up a visit to Disneyland Resort, and the very first step is securing those park tickets. I love that you are leaning into a “when the mood strikes” kind of Disney day. A dash of spontaneity and a ticket booth can absolutely lead to something unforgettable, as long as tickets and park reservations are available.

    To enjoy a truly Tigger-ific day at Disneyland, you will need both a valid park admission ticket and a theme park reservation. Sometimes luck is on your side and the fabulous Cast Members at the ticket booths can help make magic happen. That said, if the honey pot is calling your name, even Winnie the Pooh would gently remind you that planning ahead is the sweetest way to go.

    You can purchase tickets and make park reservations online or through the Disneyland app, which helps ensure the whole Hundred Acre Wood crew secures their place in the fun. To check availability online, head to “Tickets and Parks” at the top of the Disneyland website. From there, select the number of days, the number of tickets by age group, and your ticket type. Once you click Continue, you will be directed to the park reservation availability calendar to see which dates are open.

    If you are using the Disneyland app, the process is very similar. Tap the plus symbol at the bottom of the screen and follow the same steps to purchase tickets and make reservations.

    Of course, a little spontaneity can still turn an ordinary day into a Disney day. If same-day tickets are not available, there is always plenty of magic to enjoy at the Downtown Disney District. With delicious dining options, unique shopping, and Disney details sprinkled throughout, it is a wonderful place to spend the day.

    I hope this helps, Sai, and that your day is magical no matter how you choose to navigate it. Should curiosity strike again, you are always welcome to come back for another scoop of honey…I mean advice.
