Hey there, hi there, Jeff! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney to ask us your planning question!
You've brought up a great question. I would definitely recommend linking your ticket to the Disneyland app. If it links, it should show you the expiration date below the barcode. If the ticket will not link or you don't see an expiration date, you can reach out to
Ticket Services who will be able to look that ticket up to let you know the expiration date. Linking your ticket to the
Disneyland app will not affect the ability to use the hard/paper ticket. If your ticket is still valid and linked, you will then be able to make a theme park ticket reservation for the date you are hoping to visit, especially if you want to
visit during the holidays. Don't worry though, you can always modify or cancel the reservation through the validity of your ticket if plans change.
Should your ticket be valid into 2024, you may want to take a look at
Disney Parks Blog. Recently the events calendar for 2024 was released and there are some really exciting festivals and events that are finally making a return after a hiatus.
Jeff, thanks so much for stopping by! We hope to see you real soon!
Carrie
