Hi Susan! Welcome to planDisney and thanks so much for sending us a question! How exciting that you are visiting
The Happiest Place on Earth this summer!
I'm happy to help you feel prepared to visit the theme parks! The great news is that there's no need to change the name on one of the
theme park tickets. As long as you have made
theme park reservations, you are all set! When you arrive for the first time at the theme park entrance, a cast member will take a picture of each person as their ticket is scanned. From that moment, the ticket will be linked to the person in the picture. You can move forward with making your reservations and continue your planning.
As you are planning, you can make
advanced dining reservations up to 60 days before your arrival date. One of our favorite restaurants at
Disneyland Park is
Carnation Cafe. Be sure to ask for a table outdoors so you can enjoy the sights and sounds of
Main Street, U.S.A. while you enjoy your meal!
I hope you will visit us again at
planDisney if you have any additional questions as you are planning.
Smiles,
Lisa
