Planning a Disneyland Resort Visit
Start by deciding which park you plan to visit, then make sure your admission and reservation match that park and date. Disneyland Resort covers two theme parks, and the reservation requirement applies to each day you plan to visit.
Reservations depend on availability, blockout dates, and park capacity, so a reservation is not guaranteed for a particular date or park. Disney directs guests to its Park Hours calendar and Disneyland app for operating hours, which may vary by day and park.
How do you get from Westminster to Anaheim?
OCTA Route 43 runs between Fullerton and Costa Mesa and serves Disneyland and Westminster. For another day trip from Westminster, Knott’s Berry Farm is another destination to plan around.
OCTA Route 50 runs east-west between Long Beach and The Village at Orange via Katella Avenue, a corridor serving destinations in the Anaheim area.
Adventure City is another area park to include in a day-trip plan from Westminster. If you plan to drive, check current directions and traffic before leaving; the route and travel time depend on your starting point and conditions.
Tickets, Reservations and Park Hours
For each day of your visit, match a valid ticket or Magic Key pass with a reservation for the same park and date. Every guest age three or older needs both, and reservations remain subject to availability, blockout dates, and park capacity.
Ticket prices are not fixed in the guidance used here, so use Disney's ticket and reservation tools to check options for your dates. Operating hours can vary by park and day; check the official site before you go, and consult Disney's Park Hours calendar and Disneyland app for the latest schedule.
Parking and Getting Between the Parks
Disneyland Resort parking includes Mickey & Friends Parking Structure, Pixar Pals Parking Structure, and Toy Story Parking Area. Parking fees vary by vehicle and parking option, so check Disney's current details before you choose where to park.
From Mickey & Friends and Pixar Pals, you can take a tram to the Main Entrance Esplanade between the parks or walk there using the pedestrian bridge over Magic Way. Complimentary buses connect Toy Story Parking Area with both theme parks and can accommodate most mobility devices.
