Hey there, Emily, and welcome to planDisney! We're so glad you're here. It looks like your arrival date is just a few short weeks away - have you started counting down the days, yet?
First, I wanted to confirm that you've already made your
park reservation for the days you're planning on visiting the Disneyland Resort? Assuming that is the case, you have two ways to upgrade your child ticket to an adult ticket. The first way is to
call and speak to a Cast Member at the Tickets line (being the over-prepared planner that I am, this is probably the method I would go with so we could go straight into a park on our first day). The other option would be to visit one of the ticket booths near the entry gates to the parks, and a Cast Member can help you with the upgrade there as well.
Now that we have that out of the way - can we talk about all the fun you're going to have on your trip?! You'll be visiting in the midst of the
Disney100 celebration, which means
special decor, fun new merchandise, and
delicious treats. You'll also be arriving just days after the
"Magic Happens" Parade returns to Disneyland Park! Not to mention the new nighttime spectaculars,
World of Color - ONE and
Wondrous Journeys (keep an eye out for the Baymax fly over!). There will be so much to do while you're there! Just make sure to get an early jump on the virtual queue for
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway or consider purchasing an
Individual Lightning Lane.
As you continue to plan for your trip, please feel free to
write me back directly if you think of any follow-up questions. I'd love to help! I hope you have a fantastic time at the Happiest Place on Earth, Emily!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
