Greetings, Vivian, and welcome to planDisney!
It's a pleasure to have you here and thanks for bringing your question to us! I'm happy to hear that you're planning a visit to the
Disneyland Resort. We always enjoy hosting our Canadian neighbors and I would be happy to assist you.
In most situations, individuals are able to purchase Disneyland Resort
Theme Park Tickets for friends and family members as a gift, so therefore don't need to be present for the actual visit. This includes standard tickets purchased through a third party seller like AAA. So your friend should be able to purchase tickets and transfer them over to you before your visit. Just make sure that you also make park reservations as well!
There are, however, certain ticket types like discounted military tickets or specific location based ticket offers that do require a government photo ID to be shown when using it for the first time.
Did you know that there is a special
3-Day Disneyland Ticket Offer going on at the moment? It's a fantastic deal and might just fit your needs. The ticket does expire on September 26, 2024, so it's basically a summer offer.
Vivian, I hope that this was helpful information for you and I wish you the best as you continue to plan your magical vacation! Please keep us in mind if you have any further questions because you're always welcome at planDisney and we'd love to continue being involved with your trip! We'll see ya real soon!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
