Magic Morning

[Liam'sMimi]

Hello
We will be Anaheim tomorrow, Tuesday around 3pm. We leave Friday morning. We are staying at HoJo's. I had originally planned on buying a 2 day Parkhopper for use on Wednesday and Thursday. Now I am wondering if I should splurge on the 3 day and hit the Park late afternoon tomorrow? If we purchase a 3 day at HoJo's, when we arrive tomorrow, would that give me Magic Morning on Thursday? Or do I have to purchase online today? Any thoughts and advice are welcome. For what it's worth we have a short travel day tomorrow, flying in from Albuquerque, so we should have plenty of energy to hit the Park around 5:00. Thank you!

I always vote for more time in the park!
Really though, with the minimal cost of adding a third day, where else can you get that much great entertainment at that kind of value?

I'm leaning towards it but what I find confusing is if the 3 day hopper can be bought on day of arrival or if you have to purchase online prior to arrival?

You can always add days (up to 5) to an existing ticket at the ticket window! You just have to pay the difference.

Since you have such a short trip, I would definitely go into the parks tomorrow afternoon/evening! If you want the magic morning on your tickets, then you will need to buy them online in advance. With such a quick turnaround it's best to go through the Disneyland website. I'm not sure if Hojo sells tickets, but you could all and ask. If they do then also confirm they come with the magic morning. Have fun!!

Yes, if you want the MM you should buy them online. And if you're going to upgrade to 3 days then you should definitely go for the MM. Have a great trip.

We bought ours at the cottonwood Disney store if that makes it easier. They usually have a good supply, and are 3 day park hoppers with MM. Compare prices though, I can not recall what we paid for our tickets but imagine prices are similar. Or do the online E ticket. I suggest if you can avoid the ticket booth. Then avoid it.

Thanks everybody! I just called Disney and purchased the 3 day Hopper. The tickets will be waiting for me at "Will Call" tomorrow. The more I thought about it the more sense it made. It would be torturous for my Grandson if we arrived at 3:00 but didn't go to the Parks till the next day! I think we will concentrate on the Parades and PtN tomorrow night. I think we will do Rope Drop at Cal Adventure Wednesday. I am also thinking I will concentrate on PP and the other rides in FL using the MM hour on Thursday. Does that make sense? You guys are great....Thanks again!

Have a great trip!!!! I think you will be happy - it's so nice to just go once you are there.

Sounds like a fun trip! Using your MM for FL rides is a great idea. If you want to do PP, though, make sure you are at rope drop!

So piggybacking off this thread - we have MM tomorrow. If we want to be one of the first into the park (+/- some people of course), what time should we be in line? 7AM?
