Welcome to planDisney, Karen! It's so exciting to hear that you have family coming to visit soon and that a visit to Disneyland Resort is in the plans! Yay!
The
Southern California Resident Weekday Ticket Offer is such a great promotion available to Guests in the Southern California area. Unfortunately, if your family members are not Southern California residents they will not be able to use these special promotional tickets. Per the ticket offer information, you must have proof of residency, like a government-issued I.D., for purchase and for admission into the parks. I would hate for your family members to get to the gates of the park and be turned away because they do not each have proof of residency. That would not be very magical!
My suggestion would be to upgrade these tickets to standard theme park tickets ensuring there are no issues ahead for you. Please note that upgrades and new ticket purchases will cancel any theme park ticket reservation you have, so it's important to make sure theme park reservations are still available for those days you are planning to visit by checking out the
Theme Park Reservation Availablity Calendar. This is because reservations are linked to the actual tickets and not to Disney accounts. If you have any questions about upgrading these tickets, you can contact
Ticket Services.
While this offer may not work out for your family members, you may be able to find another offer for something such as a Disney Resort Hotel room discount by checking the current
Special Offers and Discounts page.
Karen, I hope this information is helpful even if it's not what you were hoping to hear. Please come back and visit us again if you have any other questions about your future visits to The Happiest Place on Earth!
