Greetings, Mary, and welcome to planDisney! Golly, that is such a thoughtful gesture. I'm happy to help you and your colleagues get ready to visit the Happiest Place on Earth!
You can link a Disneyland Resort theme park ticket either on the Disneyland website or the mobile app:
- On the website, you'll start by signing in to your MyDisney account and then visiting the Link Tickets & Passes page. You can access it from the dropdown menu under "My Disneyland." Locate the ticket ID number and type it in the box. There are a few sample tickets on this page for reference.
- In the Disneyland mobile app, tap the icon at the bottom of the screen with the three lines (☰), then tap "My Tickets & Passes." From there, tap the blue plus sign icon in the top right-hand corner, and tap "Link Tickets & Passes." Doing this in the app is a little more convenient because you can use your phone's camera to scan the ticket barcode and link it. You can also type the ID number similar to the website.
You can distribute the tickets to each person and advise them to follow these steps to add the tickets to their own MyDisney accounts. After the ticket is linked, I suggest confirming whether or not there is already a park reservation tied to it – keep in mind that both a valid theme park ticket and reservation are required for admission. This can be checked (and modified if needed) on the "
Theme Park Tickets & Reservations" page of the website, or in the "Future Plans" area in the app.
If you are all planning to go together as one large group, it would still make sense for everyone to have their own ticket in the app. That way, if they arrive at a different time, or need to go off on their own for a little bit, they'll have what they need to enter (or re-enter) the park. It’s also OK for the same ticket to be linked in more than one app. Sometimes, one central person has the whole party's tickets on their device, so that
Lightning Lane selections can be made for the group, instead of everyone doing it individually. For a group of 20 people, I'd suggest splitting into two or three groups and having one person link the tickets for everyone in their group.
Whether you all go together or on your own, make sure to set some time aside to refuel between attractions, shows, and shopping. Some amazing new menu additions have just arrived at the Disneyland Resort. There's something for everyone – I can't wait to try the new plant-based Pink Milk in Galaxy's Edge. I hear it tastes like bubblegum! The
Disney Parks Blog has a great roundup of the items to try.
Mary, if you think of any other questions, please reach out – we're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Wishing you magic,
Kriss
