Hello and welcome to planDisney, Ashley. We're so glad you found us to ask this question.
First and foremost, thank you for your service. I'm so glad to hear that you will be taking advantage of the
specially-priced theme park tickets for US military members and spending some time at the Disneyland Resort with your friend. You will need to be present with your valid military identification with your friend in order to activate your tickets and enter the theme parks. Your friend can absolutely add her ticket to her own Disney account.
This can easily be done by opening the
Disneyland app and tapping the "☰" to open the menu. Next, tap on the "Ticket and Passes" tile followed by the "+" in the upper right corner and then "Link Tickets & Passes" to add her ticket. I find the quickest way to do this is to use the "Camera" feature to scan the ticket barcode. If you are planning on using
Disney Genie+ Service, it might be a good idea to keep her ticket linked to your Disney account for ease of booking Lightning Lane selections throughout the day.
Halloween is almost here and soon it will be time to usher in the
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort. During your visit, you will get to enjoy the resort decked out in its holiday best with sparkling lights on Main Street, U.S.A. and snow covering Sleeping Beauty Castle. To get in the holiday spirit, I always like taking a cruise on "it's a small world" Holiday and then enjoying a festive seasonal treat. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the Foodie Guide to see which eats and treats you won't want to miss during your visit.
Ashley, I hope this helps as you get ready for your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth. Please come back to see us with any other questions that you might be curious about. Until then, happy planning!
Michelle
