Hello there, Elizabeth! Welcome to planDisney. We love helping Guests get the answers to their planning questions and I'm happy to help you today.
I'm so sorry to hear that your husband can no longer make your upcoming visit to Disneyland Resort, but at least you've found a friend. That's a much better plan B than having to cancel your visit altogether. I'm happy to share if you have a standard theme park ticket, you actually don't have to change the name if you don't want to. Assigning a name to the ticket in the Disneyland app really is more just for you the Guest to differentiate tickets linked to your account. A ticket is officially linked to a Guest when they scan their ticket for the first time at the gate. A Cast Member will take a photo of the Guest and this is what assigns a Guest to a ticket. If you still want the name updated on the ticket, simply call
Ticket Services or chat with a Cast Member in the
Disneyland app. The Guest with the Disney account who purchased the tickets will be able to ask for a name change.
You will get to take in all the
sights and sounds of the holidays all throughout the resort. Between the entertainment, sweet treats, and attraction overlays, you are sure to have a magical time on your visit.
Elizabeth, thanks so much for stopping by! Please come back and visit us again with any other planning questions!
Carrie
