Dear Laura,
I'm so excited to know you'll be in town this week to visit the
Disneyland Resort!
There is so much to see and do that a single trip won't be enough (trust me).
As far as your questions, which I'm happy to answer-- you'll be glad to know children under 3 years old don't have to pay an admission ticket to enter the Parks (yay)!
Also, purchasing your tickets online is simply the best way to avoid long lines at the Disneyland Main Entrance Ticket booths.
Once you purchase your tickets online, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. In that email, you can access your e-ticket which is all you need to show the friendly Cast members at the Park turnstiles.
Once they scan your e-Ticket, you're good to go. You will enter the Happiest Place on Earth and make unforgettable and Magical memories!
Don't forget there's a little over a month left before the Main Street Electrical Parade dims its lights!
The nighttime parade is scheduled to run through August 20.
Guests who wish to have a wonderful dining experience at the Disneyland Park and catch the parade, can purchase a Main Street Electrical Parade Dining Package which comes with a voucher to a preferred viewing area so you don't miss a thing!
Have fun and if I may suggest one last thing-- don't forget the Mickey Ears!
You can find a variety of styles at the Mad Hatter shop right as you enter the Parks on Main Street U.S.A.
Have a Magical Time!
