Hi Jennifer, welcome to planDisney!
I just checked the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar and I see plenty of availability on the weekends for both one park per day tickets and park hopper tickets in the month of October, November, and December of this year.
First and foremost, let's make sure your tickets are not expired. I find that the
Disneyland Mobile App is the easiest way to locate the expiration date of tickets. Once you load up the App, click the three horizontal lines in the bottom right-hand corner and select "Tickets and Passes". You should see your tickets along with their expiration dates. If you don't see your tickets there, then you'll need to link them to your account. You should see a "Link Tickets & Passes", and that should take you through the steps to link your tickets. Once your tickets are linked, you should see your tickets there along with their expiration dates.
If your tickets are not expired and still in good standing, then I think the reason why
theme park reservations are showing as not available on the weekends is due to your tickets Tier. The
Disneyland Resort uses a
ticketing tier system for standard one-day theme park tickets. This means the price of the ticket will vary depending on the theme park reservation date that you select. Tickets currently range from Tier 1 to Tier 6. Tier 1 has the most restrictions in terms of eligible reservation dates and Tier 6 has the least number of restrictions. The ticket that you purchase will be valid for admission on the date you selected and on dates in the same or lower tier. Peak demand days, like holidays and weekends, are typically higher tier days.
So if you initially purchased a one-day theme park ticket for a weekday, then those tickets would be a lower Tier than weekend tickets, which would be why reservations are showing up as unavailable. But not to worry, this is an easy fix! You can upgrade your ticket to a higher Tier ticket. Since you're not located in California, I recommend you try calling the
Disneyland Resort Ticket Line at 714-781-4636. The Cast Members there should be able to help!
See ya real soon!
