Hi Susan, welcome to planDisney!
You chose a great time to visit the
Disneyland Resort! Many of the amazing nighttime spectaculars are returning! The
Main Street Electrical Parade and
Disneyland Forever fireworks at Disneyland Park, and
World of Color at Disney California Adventure Park are returning on April 22, 2022, so you chose the perfect time to visit! And something everyone's been waiting for…the traditional character meet and greets are returning as soon as April 18, 2022! That means you can finally give Mickey and his Pals big hugs and get their autographs again!
But back to your main question, you can definitely upgrade your Tier 1
theme park tickets to Tiers 2 tickets. The best way to do this is in-person at the Disneyland Resort Main Entrance Ticket Booths. However, that might be a little tricky for you since you are out of state. I recommend calling the
Disneyland Resort Tickets Line or trying the chat feature in the
Disneyland Mobile App where you can speak with Cast Members. They should be able to help you as well! To access the chat feature in the App, click the three horizontal lines in the bottom right-hand corner, and select "Chat with Us".
I'm truly excited for you, and know you're going to have a fantastic time!
See ya real soon!
Jin
