Hey there, Kira! Thanks so much for swinging by planDisney with your question. It sounds like you have a fun adventure planned to the Happiest Place on Earth and you’re looking to bring along one more pal to experience the magic with you! I’m happy to help you with that.
First, you can purchase the additional ticket on the
Disneyland Resort website or within the
Disneyland mobile app. In the
ticket purchase process, you will be making a theme park reservation for the additional Guest. Please keep in mind each Guest needs a theme park reservation for entry. Hopefully your desired date is still available! Even if it isn’t right away, keep checking as reservation availability can change as other Guests make changes to their plans.
Next, you’ll want to make sure all the tickets are linked to your account to form your "party." Within the Disneyland mobile app, go to the home page and tap “Tickets and Passes.” Click the “+” in the top right corner and tap “Link Tickets & Passes.” You can either scan the bar code or enter the 18-digit ticket ID number manually. You can have up to 10 Guests in your party.
Another handy feature - multiple Guests in your party can link the set of tickets, which can be helpful in sharing the responsibility of managing logistics for the party. My daughter and I typically both play the “lead Mouseketeer” role and link all the tickets for our party within our respective Disneyland account/app.
Kira, while we're talking app and tickets, I’m not sure if you’ve yet experienced the phenomenal cosmic power of
Disney Genie+, but our family treasured this service during our trip. When you add Disney Genie+ service to your ticket, you get access to
Lightning Lanes for nearly 20 attractions across the two theme parks. Lightning Lanes are speedy and will reduce your wait times significantly. Talk about staying one jump ahead of the bread line! You can make Lightning Lane reservations from your app for all members of your party together or select only certain members. If you didn’t select Disney Genie+ as an add on when you purchased tickets, no worries, you can still add it to your tickets once you have gone through the turnstile to start your day. Just open the app and click on “My Genie Day” where you’ll see a link to add Disney Genie+.
Have a fantastic trip, Kira. See ya real soon!
