    Hello! I currently live full time in Southern California, but I still have my previous state’s drivers license. Since my license is out of state, how do I prove my residency for the SoCal Resident ticket?

    Hello there Jessica!  

    How exciting that you have relocated to sunny Southern California!  It sounds like you are interested in purchasing the California Resident Park Hopper Ticket, it's such a fantastic offer.  For purchase of this offer and admission into the theme parks, you will need to provide a valid government-issued photo ID to prove residency.  If you do not have your new California ID yet, I recommend heading to your local California Department of Motor Vehicles office.  I'm hoping you'll have your new ID soon and can be on your way to the "Happiest Place on Earth!"

    You will need to secure a corresponding theme park reservation for each day that you plan on visiting either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park.  The theme park reservation availability calendar will be a great planning tool for you as you plan your visit, you can click on "CA Resident Park Hopper Ticket" to see availability for your ticket offer.  

    One of my favorite festivals is about to begin, the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival!  I love to sample all of the delicious and vibrant California-inspired flavors at the Festival Marketplace booths with a Sip and Savor Pass, and there are so many fantastic entertainment options.  I'd keep my eye on the Disney Parks Blog for the release of the foodie guide as well!

    I hope you're able to obtain that new ID soon, Jessica!  If we can help with any other questions you have throughout the year, don't hesitate to come back to planDisney.

    Have a magical day!
