Hey there, Gretchen!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney on your way to the Happiest Place on Earth! You are going to love experiencing all the ghouls and ghosts of
Halloween Time this week, from the Main Street Pumpkin Festival to
Haunted Mansion Holiday to all the
devilishly delicious, limited-time sweets and treats. With so much to look forward to, it's nice to ensure that all your arrival details are in place ahead of time so you can focus on the festive fun!
Purchasing a
parking voucher in advance is a great way to ensure a smooth entry into the parks. As you enter the parking structure and approach the Cast Member at the toll booth, they will simply scan the parking voucher barcode, and away you go to your magical day. They typically do not check or match it to your ID, so you should be all set. You will just want to ensure that you have the parking voucher loaded into your own app for easy access. It should appear within your "My Tickets and Passes" if you tap the three-line icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the app and scroll left until you find it.
Once you've parked, don't put away your phone just yet! I highly recommend taking advantage of the
Car Locator functionality in the Disneyland App to help save your location. As someone who has been swept up in the excitement upon arrival and forgotten to note where I parked, you'll be happy not to find yourself wandering around Mickey and Friends late at night looking for your vehicle. The Car Locator works best if you have enabled Location Services for the Disneyland App. Once you park, open the app and tap the "Car Locator" tile from the three-line icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the homescreen and follow the instructions from there. Information will automatically load if you have enabled Location Services; otherwise, you will just need to manually enter your location.
Gretchen, I hope we've set you up for a successful arrival to the magic! We are always here for you to talk tips, tricks, or even our favorite snacks. If you have any more questions, drop us another one here at
planDisney.
Magic awaits!
