Hi, Rebecca!
Welcome to
planDisney. I’m thrilled to hear you have a trip to the
Disneyland Resort coming soon. If this will be your first visit, you're in for a treat! I think you’ll love the magic of exploring
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park here on the West Coast.
Yes, you should be able to upgrade your
theme park tickets to Park Hopper tickets, but you’re correct that this change cannot currently be made via the
Disneyland mobile app. To ensure availability and save time, call the ticket helpline at (714) 781-4636 to speak directly with a Cast Member who can assist you before arriving. You can also upgrade by visiting a Main Entrance Ticket Booth located in the Esplanade between the two theme parks at the Disneyland Resort.
You’ll be responsible for paying the full difference in price between the tickets you already purchased and the upgraded 3-day tickets. The
Park Hopper upgrade must be added to the length of your multi-day tickets, so the cost is the same no matter how many days you plan to park hop. I do recommend opting for Park Hoppers if possible so you’ll have access to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park throughout each day, with the privilege of moving back and forth between the two to maximize your time. The main entrances of the parks face each other and are just a minute or two apart on foot! I like to use the Disneyland mobile app to check the current wait times and visit
attractions accordingly, and I also love enjoying daily entertainment offerings from both theme parks.
I hope this information answers your question, Rebecca, and that your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is a dream come true! Please don’t hesitate to ask more questions as you put the finishing touches on your vacation.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
