Hi there, Matthew!
Welcome to planDisney. Buying theme park tickets and making park reservations in advance is a good idea, but sometimes plans change and we need to postpone our vacations (which is always so disappointing!). I am happy to answer your question about using your tickets on a future date.
Standard theme park tickets for Disneyland Resort can typically be applied for future days as long as the tickets are completely unused, have not expired, and park reservations are available. I recently purchased theme park tickets for one of my kids, and the tickets expire on January 12, 2026. When changing dates, the price may differ from your original date. You can usually apply the original paid amount towards new tickets if the new date is in a higher-cost tier. Keep in mind that certain promotional tickets might have additional restrictions. You can check the Terms and Conditions for your tickets in your Ticket Confirmation email.
I suggest purchasing your tickets and making your park reservations. You can then modify your reservations if you need to delay your trip. To modify your park reservations, log into your MyDisney account on the
Disneyland website. Under "Tickets & Parks," select "Theme Park Reservations." Click on "Make or Modify Park Reservations" and complete the process for your tickets. Park reservations are currently available on most days through mid-February (subject to change).
Make sure to download the
Disneyland mobile app before visiting Disneyland! It has many helpful features, such as park maps, wait times, dining menus, and more. You can even
mobile order food from select Quick-Service Restaurants! I usually order my lunch first thing in the morning to help ensure my preferred time is available. Some of my favorite restaurants that accept mobile orders include
Bengal Barbecue,
Flo's V8 Cafe, and
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe.
Matthew, I hope you can visit Disneyland Resort soon!
Halloween Time begins on August 23, 2024, and
the holidays will be celebrated later this year. There is plenty of magic for the entire family!
Magic Happens!
