What time are ticket booths open until?

I had hoped to pre-purchase my AP using a high denomination gift card I have, but no such luck online. I really want to get it purchased before our 1st day so we can use the free parking. We likely won't get into town until 10:30 pm, if traffic cooperates so I was just wondering if I'd be able to purchase it the night before or if I'm out of luck for our 1st day.

Ticket booths are open until after closing time, although there may only be a few still open. A lot of people are extending tickets or buying new ones even after official closing time.

You may be able to get your parking refunded if you buy the pass at the ticket booth even after parking. It doesn't hurt to ask.

If you buy the AP the night before that will the expiration date of your AP, even if you don't enter the park. Just take your parking receipt with you when you buy the AP and they'll give you credit towards the AP.

Echoing the sentiments of others. You'll pay the $18 to park, take your receipt with you and they'll refund you at the ticket counter. Cool huh?

It is not a long process to get into the system - but look around at lines, as the closest ticket booth may not be the fastest. Sometimes the booths by the buses may have shorter lines.

ticket booths remain open for 1 hour after the parks close
