Steve, I have to tell you what happened to my husband and I while at Disneyland the week after Thanksgiving. We arrived early thinking we would need to go to Guest Services first to activate our Military Salute tickets. A castmember said no, just go to the turnstyle, give them your certificate and they print out your ticket right there. We did this, not knowing it was an Extra Magic Hour day for Disneyland. The castmember at the gate said it was the least she could to for a veteran and let us in for the extra hour. We were very touched at her kindness. And just another reason we love Disney, both WDW and DL/CA.
Hi Kathy,
Thanks so much for reporting your experience!
That is awesome, every bit of magic helps.
Steve
We often stay at one of the Disneyland hotels (Grand Californian, Disneyland Hotel, or Paradise Pier) which allows us to enter the parks an hour early (M, W, F at California Adventure & T, Th, Sa at Disneyland).
I’m sure you talk about this perk when you discuss the discounts for their hotels, but wanted to cross reference it here.
Hi Dave,
Yes, Extra Magic Hours are a great benefit of staying at a Disneyland Hotel!
If I buy a 3 day park hopper for Disneyland can I upgrade it to a 4 day hopper by paying the difference.
We are going for 4 nights in October 2018 and staying at the GC. We like to take a pool/hotel day so I wasn’t going to purchase the 4 day tickets just in case we end up not using it. But if we decide to go to the parks for a 4th day (because you never know what’ll happen on vacay!) I was hoping to just add it on to our existing tickets 🙂
Yes you sure can Alison!
In reference to the above question, do you mean if you have the three day military park hopper you can add the 4th day? Would we just do that at the gate? Thanks!
Hi Sarah,
Yes, for Salute tickets you can upgrade the shorter ones to the longer ones or Annual Passes. The same for adding the Plus option. This is only Salute to Salute ticket.
You do this at the gate for the price diff. Or if purchased at Shades of Green you can do it at Shades or the gate.
