    how do i make a reservation when i already bought tickets?

    Hello there Heidi!  We're so glad you stopped by planDisney!

    It looks like your magical trip is right around the corner, how exciting!  If you already bought your theme park tickets, you are in great shape.  You will need to make a corresponding theme park reservation for every day that you plan on visiting Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park.  You can click on "Make or Modify Park Reservations" since you already have a theme park ticket purchased.  The theme park reservation availability calendar will be a great planning resource to lock in the days you'd like to visit.

    If you did not purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass yet, you may have the option to purchase after you scan your ticket into the parks for the day, it is subject to availability.  We always opt to purchase it during our trips, it truly saves so much time throughout the day.  We also like to get to the parks early, about 30 minutes before the park opening time.  We have found that we can experience several of our favorite attractions in those first few hours of the day! 

    Another Lightning Lane tip I have is to book some of the more popular attractions earlier in the day to ensure we get to experience them.  I always prioritize Indiana Jones Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! and Space Mountain during our visits because of that very reason!  

    Best of luck securing your theme park reservations Heidi!  If we can help with any other questions before, during, or after your trip, please come back to planDisney!

    Have a magical day,
    Melissa
