Disneyland California Park Hopper Tickets

Disneyland California park hopper tickets let you visit both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park on the same day, using a single ticket. Instead of choosing just one park, you can split your day between classic attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and modern favorites like Radiator Springs Racers.

If you’re short on time or visiting Disneyland for just one day, a hopper ticket offers more flexibility than a standard 1-day ticket. You can start in one park, move to the other after 11am, and adjust your plans based on wait times, show schedules, and ride availability.

Your Disneyland California park hopper ticket includes:

Same-day entry to both parks
- Disneyland Park
- Disney California Adventure Park
Unlimited park hopping after 11am.
Access to all rides, lands, shows, and seasonal offerings operating on your visit date.
Entry during regular park hours for both parks.
Lightning Lane access is not included; available as an upgrade.
