Hiya Steve Mack!
Welcome to planDisney, it's so nice to meet you!
I have great news for you: if you have a
theme park reservation for your starting park and a
Park Hopper ticket you don't need to worry about a reservation for the second park! You'll be able to hop right over to the new park starting at 11:00 AM. Hopefully that leaves you plenty of time for your lunch reservation!
When using Park Hopper tickets your theme park reservation determines which park you will visit first that day. After 11:00 AM you're welcome to hop back and forth as often as you'd like! If you purchase
Lightning Lane Multi Pass you can also make Lightning Lane reservations for attractions in either park, as long as the return time for the attraction is after hopping is available. You can experience a lot of attractions this way!
Did you know you can check in for your dining reservation using the
Disneyland Mobile App? It's pretty handy! Of course, you're also welcome to visit a Cast Member at the dining location when you arrive. My family likes to use the app to peek at the menu while we wait to be seated, so we're ready to order when everyone is settled.
The Disneyland Mobile App is also the key to joining the Virtual Queue for
Haunted Mansion Holiday. Since you are visiting Disney California Adventure Park first you'll want to
join the queue at noon using the app. It's the only way to visit Jack Skellington and his friends right now, so you might want to set an alarm to remind you!
I hope you have a wonderful meal in the parks, Steve Mack! Enjoy hopping between parks for all the
Halloween Time fun.
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
