Hello there, Kendra! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm sorry to hear that you were unable to purchase a theme park ticket for the
Disneyland Resort on your preferred date. After taking a look at the theme park reservation availability calendar, I see that park reservations for this weekend are almost completely booked. However, I find that every so often park reservations open up as other Guests' plans change, so I recommend checking back frequently to see if any availability opens up between now and Saturday. Maybe with a little faith and trust, you'll snag that reservation!
Kendra, if you are staying at one of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels, I do have a bit of hopeful news. My
planDisney friend Amanda spoke with a Cast Member at the
Disneyland Hotel and discovered that Guests of the hotel can usually purchase theme park tickets when they check-in for their stay. Hopefully, this is your situation, and you will be able to secure a ticket!
If all else fails, Kendra, you might try visiting the Disneyland Ticket Booth upon your arrival at the Resort and explaining your predicament. The Cast Members there may be able to provide more guidance, though there is no guarantee they can change the outcome.
Crossing my fingers for you to have a magical trip,
Melissa
