Hey there, Laura! Welcome to planDisney. We are thrilled to hear you are planning a visit to Disneyland Resort so very soon!
It sounds like you have an awesome brother! We are a military family and also try to take advantage of the many different ticket offers available through the military base ticket offers. I'm happy to share that if your brother is purchasing a standard Disneyland Resort Ticket and not the
Disney Military Promotional Ticket, he is not required to be present in order to activate and use your ticket. That only applies to the Military Promotional Ticket Offer. He is able to purchase the standard tickets from the ticket office for anyone to use.
Once he purchases that ticket you will need to make a theme park ticket reservation. Theme park ticket reservations are currently required in addition to a theme park ticket. So once you have that ticket, link it to your Disney account and follow the prompts on the
Ticket and Reservation Details page. You can also make your theme park ticket reservations on the
Disneyland app, which you will want to have downloaded and ready to go. It has so much useful information and features to help you have your best Disney day.
Laura, thanks so much for stopping by. If you have any other questions for us, come visit us again! See you real soon!
Carrie
