Hello there, Sonya! Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney to bring us your ticket question.
First off, I'm so sorry to hear that deployment is going to keep your son from being able to be a part of your family visit to Disneyland Resort. As a military wife, I definitely understand the frustration and sadness when this happens. A last-minute underway kept my husband from being able to go with me on our daughter and I's first trip to a Disney Resort.
As long as tickets are unused, the person who purchased the tickets should be able to
call in or chat on the Disneyland app to have a name changed on a ticket.
Please note that theme park tickets also require
theme park ticket reservations for entry into the parks. Currently, you can book theme park ticket reservations 120 days in advance, so book that date in your calendar so you can make sure to book reservations for your dates and parks for your visit.
I see you are arriving on January 6, 2023, which means you will make it just in time to enjoy all of the
holiday decor and entertainment for a few days before it all disappears. This will include attraction overlays like Haunted Mansion Holiday and "it's a small world" Holiday in Disneyland Park, as well as Disney Festival of the Holidays going on over at Disney California Adventure Park.
Sonya, thanks again for stopping by! Please come back and visit us again if you have any other questions along the way.
Carrie
