Which park should I visit?

Disneyland practically invented the theme park industry when it opened in 1955. To this day, no place better reflects Walt Disney’s spirit and creative vision than that original park. It’s also jam-packed with attractions, shops, and restaurants spread across nine lands. And with our Touring Plans and Crowd Calendar, you’ll learn the best times to see everything. Plus, we’ve got over 120,000 attraction reviews from families of all ages, so you can get a wide range of opinions on every experience.

How do I buy my tickets?

Theme park tickets at Disneyland are fairly straightforward. You really only need to know the dates when you’re visiting and whether you want to visit both parks on the same day (which requires the Park Hopper option).

How do I make a park reservation?

All guests must have a theme park reservation in addition to a theme park ticket. You’ll need an account on Disneyland's website/app and valid theme park admission linked to that account in order to make your park reservations. If you buy your admission directly from Disney, it's easy to make your park reservations at the time of purchase. Reservation availability may be different for guests staying at Disney hotels, Passholders, and day guests. All guests must have a theme park reservation in addition to a theme park ticket.
