Hey there, Michael! Wow, your visit to the Disneyland Resort is arriving next weekend—it's almost here! It sounds like "a dream is a wish your heart makes" is about to come true! That's a fantastic question about peeking at park reservation availability. Let's sprinkle a little faith, trust, and pixie dust on it, and get you the information you need!
The answer is absolutely, yes! You can see reservation availability for one park even if you already hold a reservation for the other on the same day. The great news is that no magic lamp is required—you can simply hop over to the
theme park reservation availability page and take a look!
Now, if you glance at that calendar and decide you do want to switch from Disney California Adventure Park to Disneyland Park for your visit, you can do that on the
tickets and reservations page. It's almost as easy as making a wish upon a star (though maybe slightly more clicking involved!). Just look for the "Make or Modify Park Reservations" button and give it a click. Once you're signed in and scroll down, you should see your existing reservations listed. Find the reservation that you'd like to change and select the "Modify Reservation" link next to it. You'll select the members of your party whose reservations you're modifying, choose the desired date, select the new park if it's available, and complete the last couple of steps. You'll know the magic worked when you reach the confirmation page. The whole process should only take a few moments, and you’ll be well on your way to enjoying the magic in no time!
Since you're a fellow Californian, Michael, I imagine you might already know quite a bit about Disneyland Park—perhaps you're even practically an honorary citizen of Main Street, U.S.A.! But even for seasoned adventurers, Walt's original Magic Kingdom always holds new secrets and enchanting experiences waiting to be discovered. Maybe this trip is the perfect chance to try something new?
Have you ever dedicated time to exploring
Tom Sawyer Island? It's a fantastic escape that offers unique perspectives of the Rivers of America that Tarzan himself would appreciate! Or perhaps you could go on a treasure hunt for the
Little Man of Disneyland's hidden house near the
Indiana Jones Adventure queue—finding it feels like uncovering your own piece of park history! For a quintessential New Orleans Square treat experience without needing a reservation, seek out the
Mint Julep Bar—grabbing famously fluffy Mickey-shaped beignets and a refreshing mint julep to enjoy nearby feels like pure Disneyland magic! Or you could always seek out unique galactic grub like a Ronto Wrap—or my favorite, the Ronto-less Garden Wrap—from
Ronto Roasters. And don't forget the often-overlooked
Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough—stepping inside tells the story in a beautifully classic way.
I hope this helps you navigate your park reservations and Disney day like a seasoned skipper on the Jungle Cruise, Michael! Wishing you an absolutely incredible time next weekend, filled with wonder, excitement, and all the churros you can eat. Have a truly magical visit!
