Hiya Charmaine!
Welcome to planDisney and we're glad that you came to us with your question. What a wonderful idea to gift the
Special Southern California Resident Ticket to your family! It's such a great deal and you get a 3-day, 1-park per day ticket that may be used on non-consecutive weekdays until May 25, 2023. In order to qualify for this deal, you must be a Southern California resident residing within ZIP codes 90000-93599.
If you buy multiple tickets for your family, you do not all need to be together in order to activate the tickets. As long as each participating member has a park reservation and valid ID verifying their residency, they may activate their ticket at any time separate from yours. Since you purchased all the tickets, you will need to share the tickets with your family members. In the
Disneyland Mobile App, have them select the ☰ Features menu and scroll down to find "Link to Account" in order to add the ticket to their account.
Since one of your visits will be on St. Patrick's Day, be sure to go by Adventureland and give a tip o' the hat to the
Little Man of Disneyland, Patrick Begorra! According to his
story, this legendary leprechaun lived there before Disneyland was built and agreed to allow Walt Disney to build his Theme Park as long as he could live there as well in a new house. If you happen to ride
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, you'll even find references to Mr. Begorra in the
queue!
I hope this was helpful for you, Charmaine, and that you and your family have a fantastic time at the Happiest Place on Earth! Please reach out to us at planDisney if you have any more planning questions! We're here to help!
See Ya Real Soon!
