Hey there, Ann!
Thanks so much for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You are going to have the most magical vacation at the Happiest Place on Earth.
Now is a great time to "Get Your Ears On" at the Disneyland Resort. There is an array of super cute Mickey-inspired treats available at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park that celebrate the iconic Mickey and Minnie Mouse for their 90th birthday celebration. You can also see the brand new, high-energy nighttime spectacular
Mickey's Mix Magic at Disneyland Park which features vibrant projections, fireworks, and music.
I'm glad you have decided to purchase your park tickets online as this will save you so much time as you bypass the Main Entrance ticket booths. If you purchase your tickets through the official
Disneyland app or with the same email address associated with your Disneyland app account, your tickets will be automatically loaded into the app. You can just present your app at the gate, and you will be given a paper ticket. Alternatively, you can print your e-ticket attachment and bring it the front gate where you will be given your official paper ticket. You can then easily link this ticket into your Disneyland app after entering. Once your tickets are linked to the app and you have entered the park, you can select "Get FASTPASS with Disney MaxPass" from the dashboard of the app to begin making your first selection. You can choose to use your paper ticket or Disneyland app ticket at the gates and Disney FASTPASS kiosks, but always keep your paper ticket handy in case of technical difficulties with your mobile device.
I hope this helps, and I wish you a vacation full of magical memories!
