Welcome, Megan!
Thanks for visiting us here on the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I can't wait for your frightfully fun vacation to the Happiest Place on Earth. You will find that with Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park in such close proximity, park hopping is going to be very enticing. Upgrading your
1 Park Per Day Tickets to Park Hopper Tickets is a great idea and is done quite often by Guests at the Resort. Whether you upgrade your ticket when you arrive or on the last day of your stay, it will be the same price, so I always recommend upgrading to a Park Hopper on your first day to get the most out of your ticket. You can do this at any of the ticket windows located in the esplanade between the park entrances.
I'm so excited you will get to trick-or-treat and dress in your Halloween best at
Mickey's Halloween Party. Your party ticket will allow you entry into both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park up to three hours before the party begins if you don't plan on using one of your park tickets on the day of the party. Once it begins you will be treated to five hours of devilishly delightful Character greetings, ghoulishly good treats, festive entertainment, and more. I'm happy to also inform you that Disney PhotoPass pictures taken during the event are included with your party ticket to capture your monstrous memories. You will have 45 days to download this photos from the date they were taken.
I can't wait for your fantastic trip, but beware of hitchhiking ghosts!
