Welcome to planDisney, Diane! Thanks so much for sending us your question. I'm happy to see you have a vacation planned to visit the
Disneyland Resort soon!
Whether you are visiting
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park, it's ok if the exact name doesn't match the
theme park ticket. When the ticket is scanned at the theme park entrance, a cast member will take a photo of the person and then the ticket will be assigned to the person in the photo. It's definitely most important that you make your
Theme Park Reservations as soon as possible because availability can be limited and is not guaranteed.
As you are planning, you can make
advanced dining reservations if you would like to enjoy some of the many great restaurants there are to choose from! If you aren't planning to spend all of your time at the theme parks, the
Downtown Disney District has many great dining options too.
Naples Ristorante e Bar is one of my favorite dining spots! The outdoor seating has a great ambiance at night and if you time it just right, you might even see some fireworks!
If you have any additional questions, please visit us again at
planDisney. We're always happy to help!
Happy Planning!
Lisa
