Hi Rachel! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by and asking this great question. I'm happy to help!
I'm sorry to hear that your son won't be able to visit The Happiest Place on Earth, but it's great that you can go! If you would like to use the theme park ticket instead, you have a couple of options. You can have the ticket reassigned by contacting the Ticket line at (714) 781-4636. This isn't necessary though unless you prefer to change the name. Once you arrive at
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park, you can use the ticket to scan for entry. A Cast Member will take a photo of you, and from that moment forward the ticket will be assigned to you. Otherwise, as long as everyone has a
Theme Park Reservation you should be all set to enjoy the magic!
Be sure to download the
Disneyland Mobile App before you arrive so you will have your
Theme Park Ticket handy. The app is also helpful for checking attraction wait times and entertainment offerings. I especially love using it for
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering to save time and skip the line.
If you have more planning questions about the Disneyland Resort, please feel free to send them to us at
planDisney before you arrive. We would love to help!
Happy Planning!
Smiles,
Lisa
