Hi Sabina! Welcome to planDisney. I’m so glad you reached out with this question, because the California resident ticket offers are incredibly popular, and it’s smart to double-check the details before making plans. I’m happy to help you understand how eligibility works and what your best next steps might be.
The
California Resident Park Hopper Ticket Offer is specifically designed for Guests who can verify California residency. To qualify, each adult using this ticket must reside within eligible ZIP codes (90000–96199) and present a valid, government-issued photo ID that shows a California address. This ID is required both at the time of purchase and again when you enter the theme parks. The good news is that if you do plan to update your IDs in the future, this ticket offer runs through May 21, 2026, so there’s still time to take advantage of it!
If you’re visiting in February, you’ll be arriving during one of the most festive times of year at
Disney California Adventure Park. The
Lunar New Year celebration transforms the area with colorful décor, vibrant music, and special entertainment honoring the Year of the Horse. It’s a wonderful time to visit, especially for families, with appearances by beloved Disney friends like Mickey, Minnie, Mulan, Mushu, and Red Panda Meilin from Turning Red. The atmosphere alone makes Disney California Adventure feel extra joyful and welcoming.
Here’s a little Q-Tip for you as you plan. Lunar New Year also brings six
Marketplaces filled with dishes and drinks inspired by Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean traditions. If sampling a variety of flavors is on your wish list, a
Sip and Savor Pass is a great option. It includes six digital coupons that can be used for select food and nonalcoholic beverages throughout the celebration. To stretch your value even further, many Guests like to redeem those coupons for higher-priced festival items.
Sabina, I hope this helps you feel more confident as you decide which tickets will work best for your family. No matter which option you choose, there’s plenty of magic waiting for you. If more questions come up while you’re planning, we’d love to welcome you back to planDisney.
Wishing you a magical day!
David
