Hi there, Magnolia. Welcome to planDisney and thank you for bringing us your question. It sounds like you're planning for a fun visit with your friend at the Disneyland Resort and I couldn't be happier to help with your question.
If you haven't already, you'll want to link your friend's ticket to yours which can easily be done in the
Disneyland app. Once you have the app open, tap on the three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner. Next, tap the tile for "Tickets and Passes" and then the plus sign inside of a circle in the top right corner. You'll then tap on "Link Tickets & Passes" and either scan the bar code or manually enter the ticket ID number. Now that your tickets are linked, you can make reservations for both of you. There's a plus sign inside of a circle at the bottom of the screen in the middle and you'll see the option to
Make a Park Reservation. You'll also want to check the
Theme Park Reservation Availability to make sure your dates are open. As an added bonus, if you decide to take advantage of
Disney Genie+ during your visit, either of you will be able to make
Lightning Lane selections for the both of you because your tickets are linked.
You chose a great time to visit the Happiest Place on Earth with the
Lunar New Year Celebration starting January 20 at
Disney California Adventure Park. I always love to taste all of the Asian-inspired dishes at the
Lunar New Year Marketplaces. Be sure to check out the
Foodie Guide at
Disney Parks Blog to get an idea of what offerings will be available. Quite a few things caught my eye and I will be adding them to my list of things to try.
I hope this has been helpful, Magnolia. Please come back to visit us at planDisney with any other questions you may have. Wishing you and your friend a most magical visit!
