Hi Dijan! Welcome back to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to send us another question!
To all who come to this happy place, welcome! From one Walt Disney World girl to another, I'm so excited for you to have your first visit to
The Happiest Place on Earth! Not only will you discover the magic of Walt Disney's first park, but there are some differences between the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort. I spoke with a Cast Member about
Theme Park Tickets, and Disneyland no longer issues physical tickets for entrance. Disneyland has transitioned to digital ticketing and your tickets can be accessed through the
Disneyland Mobile App. Before your visit, you might want to
read this article from Disney Parks Blog about the recent upgrades that were made to the gates. The gates are different from those at Disney World, and this will help you be more prepared.
You have chosen a great time to plan a vacation to the Disneyland Resort! The most magical celebration on Earth is in full swing,
Disneyland's 70th Anniversary Celebration! I recommend checking out the
Guide to the 70th Anniversary before you arrive to plan what you want to see and do. Because it's your first visit, be sure to pick up a complimentary first-visit button inside City Hall on Main Street, U.S.A. in
Disneyland Park or at Guest Services in
Disney California Adventure Park.
If you have more questions, please send them to us at planDisney. We can't wait for you to be our guest, and we would love to help!
Wishing you magic,
Lisa
