    I want to purchase the Southern California 3 day hopper pass for $249. Are there any blackout dates? Do I have to make reservations for all 3 days at time of purchase? And if so can I change reservation dates?

    Hi, Elisa! Welcome to planDisney and Happy Holidays!

    Thank you so much for stopping by to ask this great question about the limited Southern California Resident Ticket offer. This special 3-day, park hopper ticket is for Guests who reside within ZIP codes 90000 and 96199 only. Any Guest planning to use this particular ticket needs to be able to provide the required proof of Southern California residency with a government-issued photo ID at the park entrance to use this SoCal Resident Ticket. It's an incredible deal - if you qualify! Oh boy, I wish I did! 

    According to the Disneyland website, Elisa, there are no blackout dates, but you will need to make park reservations for all three days at the time of purchase between January 1 through May 21, 2026. I know that might feel a bit overwhelming, but I'm happy to share that reservation dates may be changed at any time if there are dates available before the May 21, 2026 expiration. To modify theme park reservations, you'll need to actually cancel the initial reservation made and then book a new one. You can easily do this in either the Disneyland app (from the ☰, select "Park Reservations" under Plan My Next Visit) or on the Disneyland website by selecting "Make or Modify Park Reservations." Because park reservations are limited, and not guaranteed, I recommend making your selections as soon as you know your plans, especially if you have certain dates in mind.

    Well, Elisa, I hope the information I've provided has been helpful, and you'll be making your plans to visit the Happiest Place on Earth very soon. To help with your planning, Disneyland has recently announced event dates for the early part of 2026 - just in time for your 3-day ticket! If you have some flexibility on dates, you may want to consider visiting California Adventure sometime between January 23 and February 22, 2026 for at least one of your visit dates to experience the bright and beautiful festivities of Lunar New Year! It's my very favorite!

    Have the most magical visits, Elisa! Don't hesitate to stop by again with any additional questions that might come up!

    See you real soon!

    Warmest wishes,
    McCayla

Hello from the Pacific Northwest! I'm McCayla, a wife and mom dreaming of adventure in the great wide somewhere, yet also completely content watching Toy Story from the couch. My love of Disneyland began as a little girl on Peter Pan's Flight and only grows with each visit. But even when I'm not physically at the Happiest Place on Earth, I truly feel that same joy when I can help others (YOU!) experience the magic of Disneyland Resort too.
