    Can you purchase tickets the same day to visit disneyland?

    Hi there, Alfonso! Welcome to planDisney. Woo! You must be on your way if you plan on visiting the Happiest Place on Earth tomorrow! How incredibly exciting.

    I would strongly suggest purchasing your tickets today to ensure that you can get a theme park reservation. You must have both a ticket and a reservation to enter the parks. While it’s possible there will still be reservations available when you arrive tomorrow, it would be disappointing to get to the park and be turned away. This time of year is very popular (more on that in a minute), so be sure you have both a ticket and a reservation in advance.

    Don’t worry, purchasing a ticket is a cinch! I’d recommend downloading the Disneyland Mobile App and creating an account. Once there, press the (☰) in the bottom-right corner, “Tickets & Passes,” and the blue (+) in the top-right corner. There will be a button that says “Buy Tickets,” and nothing can stop you now. Select the day, type of ticket, and which park you want to visit. This will set your reservation as you make the purchase. I just clicked through the process, and it seems like there are still reservations for tomorrow. You can even add a Lightnight Lane Multi Pass at checkout, which I highly recommend.

    As I mentioned, this time of year is very popular, and for good reason. I spent the day in the park yesterday, and it was 74° and sunny. Tomorrow looks a little warmer, but not too bad. Also, the parks are firing on all cylinders. All the nighttime spectaculars, including Fantasmic!, Tapestry of Happiness, Wondrous Journeys, and World of Color Happiness!, are playing! If you haven’t seen the Paint the Night parade, you can’t miss it. I might consider bringing sunglasses, even though it starts at 8:45 and 10:45 pm. You can check out all the shows, spectaculars, and parades by visiting the Hours & Entertainment page. Just be sure that you’ve adjusted the calendar to show the dates you’re visiting.

    Alfonso, you’re going to have a great time! I hope you create a ton of magical memories. If you have other questions, don’t hesitate to bring them to us at planDisney!

    Have a magical day!
