Hey there, Julianna!
Welcome, and thanks for visiting
planDisney and asking us this great question. What a wonderful gift you received! I’m so happy to hear you’re ready to use your park ticket to plan a magical visit to the
Disneyland Resort theme parks.
First, you’ll need to link the
theme park ticket to your Disney account so you can secure a
theme park reservation in order to enter the parks. Download and open the
Disneyland mobile app and then tap the icon that looks like three horizontal lines to reach the main menu. Next, tap "Tickets and Passes" and then the “+” symbol. Tap “Link Tickets & Passes'' to scan the barcode for your ticket with your smartphone’s camera or type in the ticket ID numbers manually. Select “Ticket and Reservation Details'' and “Make Park Reservations” to choose an available reservation date and starting theme park for each day. After a couple more steps, your reservation will be confirmed and you’ll be on your way to a pixie-dusted adventure!
I hope this information helps, Julianna, and that you’re able to visit the theme parks soon! Please don’t hesitate to write back to us with more questions as your planning continues.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
