Hello there, Angela! Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're planning a truly magical adventure to the Disneyland Resort, and I'm thrilled to be along for the ride in your planning process!
First, please allow me to extend a heartfelt thank you to your daughter's spouse for their service. It's an honor to help families like yours create unforgettable memories at the Happiest Place on Earth!
The
Disney Military Promotional Park Hopper tickets are an excellent way for service members to enjoy the resort with their families and friends. Since your daughter purchased these special tickets as a military spouse, she is welcome to bring up to five family members or friends according to the
offer details. And the best news, Angela, is that you’re more than welcome to link the tickets to your Disney account. As my family’s go-to Disney planner (and ticket-keeper!), I can appreciate your all-important role of managing the tickets. As long as your daughter is using one of the tickets and presents valid military identification during the visit, you’ll be good to go! And, speaking of “good to go”, this is a great time to remind you to
make park reservations before your visit!
Linking the tickets in the
Disneyland mobile app couldn’t be easier! Just open the app on your phone and tap the menu button (the three lines in the bottom right corner). Then, select "My Tickets & Passes"—that's where your tickets live in the app. Next, tap the blue plus (+) sign at the top right and choose "Link Tickets & Passes". You'll then have the option to either scan the ticket barcodes with your camera (just press "Open Camera"—it's super quick!), or you can manually type in the ticket IDs under the "Type ID" tab if you prefer. You’ll be on your way to enjoying a marvelous day in the parks in no time!
And, here's an extra sprinkle of pixie dust, Angela! Since you'll be visiting from out of state with those multi-day Park Hopper tickets, I wanted to let you know that eligible service members and their spouses often qualify for fantastic
discounts on Disneyland Resort hotel stays! Staying on-property is more than just a place to sleep; it's truly part of the immersive Disney experience. The hotels are incredibly close to the parks, offer amazing amenities, and provide that signature Disney service. My personal favorite is
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa—it even has a special entrance directly into
Disney California Adventure Park! I often use that entrance for a quick escape to my room for a fresh shirt after a particularly splashy ride on Grizzly River Run (though it's currently closed for refurbishment until mid-March—but don't worry, you'll still get wonderfully soaked when it reopens!).
I hope this clarifies everything about the Military Promotional tickets, Angela! If you have any questions about dining reservations,
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, or anything else related to your Disneyland visit, please don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help with all the details, big and small! Have a wonderful and magical time!
