Hi Matt! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to ask this great question. I'm happy to help!
I love being able to vacation with my husband and some of our favorite vacations have been at the Disneyland Resort! I know it's fun to be spontaneous too. You could take a chance with your plans and try to visit
Disney California Adventure Park on the evening you arrive. It's important to know and consider that
Theme Park Reservations are not guaranteed and might not be available if you choose to wait until you arrive. The
Theme Park Ticket would be the price shown for the date you select, regardless of what time you would enter the theme park. As of this moment, there are reservations available for Disney California Adventure Park on your arrival date. The
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar does update in real-time, so this is subject to change.
If you decide not to visit Disney California Adventure Park on your arrival date, you could plan for a nice dinner at one of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels or the
Downtown Disney District instead. I recommend making an
advanced dining reservation to ensure you will be able to dine at your desired location.
I'm wishing you and your wife a magical vacation at
The Happiest Place on Earth. If you have planning questions for your next Disney Parks vacation, please stop back by
planDisney. You've got a friend in us and we would love to help!
See ya real soon!
Smiles,
Lisa
