Hi Mitchell! A huge congratulations and welcome to planDisney! Winning a pixie-dusted Disneyland Resort visit is an exciting surprise, and what an incredible prize to receive!
It sounds like you know your stuff when it comes to knowing the two theme parks at Disneyland Resort! Your
One Day One Park tickets will allow you to visit either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park, and you’ll choose which park you’d like to visit when making your theme park reservation.
The great news is that your Tier 6 tickets are the highest tier available, which gives you the most flexibility when selecting your visit date. That means you can choose any available
reservation date for your magical visit! Lower-tier tickets have date restrictions, so having Tier 6 tickets is a fantastic benefit.
If you haven’t made your park reservations yet, it’s super easy to do right in the
Disneyland Mobile App. First, make sure you have the app downloaded and that you’re signed into your Disney account. From the home screen, tap the three-line menu icon at the bottom of the screen and select “My Tickets & Passes.” Next, tap the blue plus sign and choose “Link Tickets & Passes.” You can either scan your ticket barcode or enter the code manually. Once your tickets are linked, tap the grey plus sign at the bottom of the screen and select “Make a Park Reservation.” From there, you’ll follow the prompts to select your park and date.
As for
parking, standard Disneyland Resort theme park tickets typically do not include parking. At the moment, standard parking is $40 per vehicle for cars and motorcycles at the Mickey & Friends and Pixar Pals Parking Structures and the Toy Story Parking Area. If you’d rather skip parking altogether, there is also a convenient rideshare drop-off and pickup area near the main entrance Esplanade. You can also
pre-purchase your parking pass to make things easy on the day of your visit.
If your tickets didn't include
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, I recommend adding it once you scan into the park! It will save you time, with quicker access to select attractions. It helps our family experience everything we want to, and we love the included
Disney PhotoPass digital downloads of pictures, so that we can keep the memories forever, while letting someone else line up that perfect shot!
Mitchell, I hope your family has the most magical visit to The Happiest Place on Earth! Once you decide which park you’ll be visiting and have those reservations set, come back and visit us again if you’d like help with dining, Lightning Lane tips, must-do attractions, or anything else to help make your Disney day even more magical.
Wishing you a trip filled with unforgettable memories and plenty of pixie dust!
