Hi Michael! We are so happy you stopped by planDisney with your question. You are going to be at the Happiest Place on Earth just as the happy haunts of
Halloween Time will be taking up residence throughout the resort! There's truly nothing like a family photo in front of the iconic, gigantic Mickey pumpkin at the top of Main Street, U.S.A., and you will love taking a spin through Jack Skellington's take over of
Haunted Mansion Holiday! Be sure to take in the famed gingerbread house in the ballroom - it changes every year and is a highlight for me and my family!
I can see why you would be excited to spend a little more time in both parks this season! To upgrade those tickets, I would go ahead and give the
Guest Services team a call ahead of time. Currently, you are not able to upgrade via the
Disneyland Mobile App and would technically need to do so at the Main Entrance Ticket Booths located in the esplanade between the parks. Keep in mind that any
theme park reservations you have would be released with the change of ticket as they do not transfer. There is a specific pool of tickets each day for both One Park Per Day holders and Park Hopper holders, so you would be subject to the same-day availability of those Park Hopper reservations. I know this is a lot to absorb, and we are getting a bit away from our pixie-dusted path! For Guests that are not local, I highly recommend calling as soon as you know you'd like to upgrade and discussing your situation directly with a wonderful Cast Member in Guest Services. Sometimes, a wave of their magic wand can make all the difference!
Before you hit the parks, I highly recommend taking a listen to Episode 3 of the
planDisney Podcast. My fellow panelists are talking ALL about the Halloween and holiday offerings for this year across the Disney properties. They are even giving out a few tips and tricks that are sure to make your visit extra magical. You may even want to watch this one - it was filmed INSIDE the Haunted Mansion! I still can't believe it!
If you have any more questions in your planning, Michael, you know where to find us here at
planDisney!
Magic awaits!
