Hello Brenda,
This sounds like a trip for the ages! Welcome to
planDisney, we are happy you stopped in with your question. These Canadian ticket deals are irresistible, and a lot of Canadians are taking advantage of it. Your family member must be excited as he is traveling from the other side of the planet to visit Mickey Mouse at
Magic Kingdom Park. The travel time will be well worth it, as he will be with family at "The Most Magical Place on Earth." These Canada resident tickets would need to be validated with a Canadian ID at the time of activation. If your family member does not have one they will not be able to use this ticket. These ticket types are also not available to upgrade or pay the difference according to the Cast Member I chatted with today.
If you are visiting with family I always recommend purchasing
Memory Maker. This will allow you to stop wherever you see a
PhotoPass photographer and have your picture taken. No one is missing from the shots, and no long selfie arm every time. You will also get pictures from certain attractions. Always a great surprise to see what everyones reaction is during the ride. Never have I ever regret purchasing this even for just one day. Magical memories would be stored on your
My Disney Experience App and available for download almost immediately.
I hope this information is helpful for planning your visit, visit us again if you have any other questions.
Have a magical day,
Jeremy A.
