    Can tickets be bought the same day we want to visit the park?

    Hey there, hi there, Eunise! Welcome back to planDisney. We are so happy to see you again!

    The most magical time is officially here! The trees are up, the garland is hung, and the holidays have kicked off at Disneyland Resort. Tickets to Disneyland parks can be purchased same day either online via the Disneyland website or Disneyland App or in person at the Ticket Booths. Right now, the Ticket Booths have closed in the Esplanade, and tickets are being sold at the Lost and Found windows. There are only a few windows, so this means most likely longer lines, so purchasing tickets online is the way to go. Now, with all that being said, I highly recommend avoiding a same-day ticket purchase. This is because theme park tickets also require theme park reservations for entry into the parks. Waiting until same-day means you are at risk of reservations being booked up for that day, and it would be such a bummer to get all the way to the parks and then learn that there are no more reservations for the day.  

    When you have your visit set, be sure to take a look over the entertainment schedule. This will be helpful when you are planning out your day. Our family makes sure to prioritize one of the Wintertime Enchantment showings to make sure we see the snow falling on Main Street.

    Eunise, thanks so much for stopping by! I hope your visit is full of magic!
