Hi there, Chad, and welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for coming to us with your question and congratulations to the three of you for your upcoming Disneyland Resort vacation! That's exciting that you already have some awesome post Thanksgiving plans. What better way to work off a big meal than to get in your steps on your Park days?
I'm glad that you already purchased your tickets. When you get tickets from a third party, you'll usually need to link them to your account first so you can make your park reservations. Your friend may either just allow you to link their ticket to your account (and therefore have you manage their reservations and Lightning Lanes) or the ticket may be linked to both their account and to yours. In order to do this, you can use the Disneyland website and select "
Link Tickets and Passes" under "My Disneyland." You can also do it through the
Disneyland Mobile App when you press the "Link to Account" button within the "≡" Features Menu. You'll need to be able to access the ticket bar code or its ID number to link it to your account.
By the time of your visit, the
Holiday Season will have started and
Tiana's Bayou Adventure will have opened! One exciting debut this year will be a special Character Meal at the
Storytellers Cafe called Mickey's Holiday Pajama Party! I'm really looking forward to this because it's already one of my favorite character meals!
Chad, I hope that this was helpful in your planning. We're always happy to help Guests plan a fantastic trip to The Happiest Place on Earth, so don't hesitate to come on back if you have more questions! We'll see ya real soon!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
