Hi Lynn,
I understand why you would want to visit Disney California Adventure Park during your trip. With
Avengers Campus,
Cars Land, and
Pixar Pier, there is so much magic to experience there.
If you want to visit both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park during your trip, you can still do so without upgrading to a Park Hopper. A Park Hopper allows a Guest to visit both parks on the SAME day. Since you will be visiting over three days, you can use your One Park Per Day ticket and choose a different park each day. For example, you can use your One Park Per Day ticket for Disneyland Park for two days and use your ticket to visit Disney California Adventure Park on the third day. You only need to make sure you have a
theme park reservation for the park you want to visit each day of your trip.
Have a wonderful time. And if you will be heading over to Disney California Adventure Park, I highly recommend riding
Toy Story Midway Mania! This interactive attraction allows Guests to play fun, carnival-style games while in a 3-D ride experience. It’s unlike any attraction I have ever experienced before.
Have fun,
Lola
