Hiya Tracy,
Welcome to planDisney! If this is your first visit to Disneyland Resort, then I'm so excited for you. As a girl who spends most of the time at the Most Magical Place on Earth, Disneyland was a whole new world! Walking through the park, knowing that this is the park Walt Disney dreamed of, created, and walked in, is truly special. I understand why they call it the Happiest Place on Earth, because I could not stop smiling.
Now let's chat about
linking your friend to your account! Tracy, this was one of the questions I had when I planned my first trip as well. The process differs slightly from Walt Disney World, as there is no Family and Friends List. But still easy to do. To link your friend so you can make Lightning Lane selections together, you will want to link her ticket to your
Disneyland mobile app. To do this, open the app and navigate to the main menu (represented by the three horizontal lines icon in the bottom right corner of the mobile app). Next, select "My Tickets & Passes" from the options. Once you are on that screen, select the blue plus sign in the top right corner and click "Link Tickets & Passes." Manually enter your friend's ticket number or scan the barcode using your camera to link the tickets. Once linked, you will be set up to make Lightning Lane selections for each other when the time comes.
I hope this was helpful, Tracy! Before I let you go, don't forget to try some of my favorite treats at Disneyland, especially the ones that aren't available in Orlando. My personal favorites are the
Matterhorn Macaroon and
Churro Toffee, but I cannot recommend the churros enough. I know we have those at Walt Disney World, but trust me when I say, they are on a whole other level at Disneyland Resort. I hope you have a fantastic trip, and please don't hesitate to come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
