You’ve booked your
Disneyland ® Resort vacation and you’re on your

way to a memory filled experience of a lifetime! As your
Disneyland ® Resort experts, we want to make sure your vacation is absolutely perfect from first booking to your happily ever after! Before you go, check out these useful blog articles and tips that will help you make the most of your time at The Happiest Place on Earth.
- Remember, your Disneyland ® Resort Tickets and Character Dining
Tickets are set up electronically. To pick up your tickets, simply take
your photo ID to any main ticket booth outside the Parks. To save time,
you can pick up your tickets the night before. If you're staying at one
of the Hotels of the Disneyland ® Resort, you'll receive your tickets when you check-in.
- Make sure you have enough time to see it all! We recommend a minimum of 3 days on your Disneyland ® Resort Park Hopper ® Tickets. Adding even more days affords you the time to see every show and ride every attraction, maximizing your fun and minimizing the stress of trying to squeeze everything into a few days. Plus, adding an extra day can be done for as little as $5 a person*! There is no extra charge beyond the difference in ticket price for upgrading your Tickets, and you can upgrade your tickets at any time before they are picked up at the Disneyland ® Resort.
