Hi there, Kaitlyn. Thanks for bringing your question to
planDisney!
What an excellent surprise! You’re in for a treat (and hopefully some
sweet treats, too)!
Yes! You can link your boyfriend’s ticket to your account and make a park reservation for both of you. He can still use the paper ticket if he likes, or he can link the ticket to his own account. You are able to link a single ticket to multiple accounts. This makes making reservations, booking
Lightning Lanes, and utilizing
Photopass much easier.
I would suggest that your boyfriend link his ticket to his own account as well. The
Disney Mobile App is a great way to keep track of tickets in case you both ride
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and his ticket gets soaked. If your ice cream from
Gibson Girl drips on his ticket, he’ll be happy to have it saved in his mobile app. If his ticket wears out from hopping back and forth between the parks, he’ll wish it were saved in the app!
All joking aside, Kaitlyn, I’m very excited for your trip. Did you know that the
Lunar New Year Celebration starts on January 23rd and goes until February 22nd as we celebrate the Year of the Horse? Also, Bluey is coming to the Fantasyland Theater with
“Bluey’s Best Day Ever!” Besides those special events, Disneyland Resort is such a special place - the ambiance of Main Street, U.S.A., the magic of Sleeping Beauty Castle lighting up at night, and the feeling you get when the first fireworks hit the sky. That’s Disney magic! I hope you and your boyfriend make memories that stay with you forever, and you can come visit again and again.
Don’t forget, planDisney is here for you when you’re planning your next trip.
See ya real soon.
Corey
