Hey there Aliza,
Welcome to planDisney and thanks so much for your question!
I'm happy to share that the name on a standard theme park ticket won't matter. When you first arrive at the parks and scan your ticket at the entry gate, a Cast Member will take a picture of you that will be associated with your ticket. This is what locks that ticket in with the person who first uses it!
Having said that, for convenience, I would highly recommend making sure your ticket is linked to your Disney account. This will help in your trip planning by allowing you to see all your reservation details on the
My Plans hub. This page is also a great spot to make new reservations for your trip like for dining or enchanting extras.
It looks like your visit will fall on the last few days of the
Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival! You'll most definitely want to prioritize stopping at a booth to order some of the delicious options. I'd recommend checking the
Foodie Guide posted on the
Disney Parks Blog to see all the options in one place! Keep in mind you can order and pay for everything you want at one kiosk then head to any other kiosk to pick up your items.
Thanks again for your question, Aliza! Enjoy your upcoming trip to the Happiest Place on Earth.
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
