Hello, Tina,
"
Oh, bother." I have felt that panic too! I understand the frustration of trying to arrange a magical outing to the Disneyland Resort but discovering
theme park reservations have become scarce for our travel dates. Perhaps I can offer some hope!
Since you already have your tickets purchased, I recommend at least booking the one park reservation that you found available. Then, keep a watchful eye on the
theme park reservation availability calendar. Other Guests often need to change plans. So when they reschedule their park reservations, you will often find their previous reservations suddenly become available to you! When you see the reservations pop up, you can quickly head to the "
My Theme Park Reservations" page to book your other day with your existing tickets linked to your account.
Another possible way to secure a theme park reservation on popular dates is to book a stay at one of the three
Disneyland Resort Hotels. Stays at the Disneyland Resort Hotels don’t guarantee entrance to the theme parks. But they do allow access to
theme park reservations exclusively for hotel Guests. With your hotel stay and tickets linked to the same account, just go to the "
My Hotel Reservations" page to begin the process of booking park reservations. Just a one-night stay is enough to grant access to all the great amenities and
benefits available to hotel guests on both check-in day and check-out day. That includes
early entry privileges!
I’m wishing on a star and sending all the virtual pixie dust I can muster your way so that you can make that special
birthday dream come true for your dear son. I hope you have a magical time, Tina!
