    Can my best friend use her offer to get tickets as a gift for my family?

    Hi Mizbeli. Thanks for stopping by planDisney!  

    You may be referring to one of two different ticket offers, so let's look at both.

    If you're asking about the Anaheim Resident Ticket Offer that is available for visits through October 8, 2026, there are a few important details to know. First, only Anaheim residents with a valid government-issued photo ID can purchase and use these tickets. In addition, the offer is available in limited quantities and is subject to the availability of theme park reservations designated for that specific promotion.

    If you're asking about a special offer received through a unique email PIN code, the good news is that your bestie can absolutely use her link to purchase tickets for you! Just keep in mind that the promotional link itself is non-transferable, and any tickets purchased through the offer are nonrefundable and may not be sold or transferred for commercial use. Each PIN recipient can purchase five tickets per transaction, and each PIN is good for three transactions. Your friend will need to purchase them for you and enter your name during checkout. Once they receive the e-tickets, they will be able to share the ID of the tickets with you to add to your Disneyland mobile app.

    One other thing to keep in mind: these promotional tickets are valid through December 18, 2026. However, theme park reservation availability for special ticket offers can fill up separately from regular theme park ticket reservations. That means you may see reservations available for standard tickets on a particular date, even if reservations allocated to a promotional offer are fully booked.

    I recommend having your friend purchase the tickets and securing your park reservations as soon as your plans are finalized. That way, you'll have the best chance of getting the dates you're hoping for!

    Mizbeli, if you'd like to maximize your time in the parks, I highly recommend adding Lightning Lane Multi Pass to your tickets! It can be added during the ticket purchase process for an additional fee, or you can wait until the day of your visit and purchase it in the Disneyland app once you've entered the park.

    Wishing you a magical visit to the Happiest Place on Earth, and please stop by again if you have any more planning questions!

    Magic awaits,
    Kimberly
