Welcome, Keala!
We're so happy you found your way to planDisney. With just a week until your visit, I bet you're starting to get excited and feel the pixie dust swirling in the air. Now is the time to make those final touches on your planning, so let's dive into your question.
You will love having two full days to experience the Disneyland Resort. When it comes to
multi-day tickets, an upgrade would apply to the full ticket. In other words, there is no way to upgrade just one day to a Park Hopper. I know that was not the news you were hoping to hear! If you do decide to upgrade, this can be done with just a few taps in the Disneyland Mobile App. When you head to "My Tickets & Passes" from the three-line icon in the bottom right-hand corner, you should see an option to "Change Ticket". Just follow the instructions from there and away you go!
I have visited the parks with Park Hoppers and with 1-Park Per Day tickets, and I have to say you will find the magic in both options. Sometimes, I like to stick with the 1-Park Per Day option to slow down our pace and really savor each corner of a park. I often say that the most magic is found in these quieter moments when you can take the time to sit down with your favorite sweet treat (mine is a Mickey Beignet from the
Mint Julip Bar) and soak in the atmosphere, sights, and sounds. Other times, we love to maximize our time and hop between the two parks all day long. If you have added
Lightning Lane Multi Pass to your tickets, it's a real advantage to be able to hop and book Lightning Lanes for attractions in both parks throughout your day. At the end of the day, the choice is really a personal preference based on your priorities for this particular trip!
Keala, I hope this helps tie your planning up in a bow! I always recommend taking a peek at the
Park Hours and Entertainment Schedule ahead of time as well to earmark any must-dos. With spring break in full swing, I just took a look myself and can see that
Fantasmic! and
Mickey's Mix Magic with Fireworks are currently scheduled to perform every night of the week during your visit. These are typically weekends only, so be sure to make time for a nighttime spectacular!
