Hi there, Kathleen! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
When assigning names to theme park tickets, you can use whatever name you prefer. The name on the ticket is just for organizational purposes on your end. The ticket isn't officially assigned to an individual until it is scanned at the park gates and a Cast Member takes their photo.
In addition to your theme park ticket and
reservations, be sure that both of you download and familiarize yourself with the
Disneyland app before you visit. It will be your best tool for navigating the parks efficiently. You can view attraction wait times, mobile order food from a variety of quick service locations, and it will be how you use the new
Disney Genie and Disney Genie+ features that will be launching soon.
I hope you and your friend have a delightful time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
