Hi L! Welcome to
planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to send your question our way. I'm glad you found us!
Celebrating a birthday is even more special and magical at The Happiest Place on Earth! How fun that your daughter will get to celebrate with a friend. I'm sorry to hear that one of her friends cannot make it.
Theme Park Tickets are not assigned to a person, regardless of the name listed, until scanned at the theme park entrance. When your daughter and her friend scan their tickets at Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park, their tickets will then be assigned to them. A Cast Member will also take their photos as part of assigning the ticket to each of them. The third unused ticket can be used by your daughter at a later date even if the name listed isn't her name. If you prefer to have the name changed, you can call the Tickets line at (714) 781-4636 and speak to a Cast Member for assistance with the name change.
It is important that you cancel the
Theme Park Reservation that is assigned to the ticket that will not be used. You could also modify the reservation if you already know the date your daughter will use it this summer. I suggest canceling or modifying the reservation as soon as possible.
I'm wishing your daughter a very happy birthday, and hope she has s much fun celebrating! Be sure to let your daughter know she can pick up a complimentary birthday button at City Hall on Main Street, U.S.A. in
Disneyland Park, or at Guest Services in
Disney California Adventure Park. It makes a great souvenir!
Happy Planning!
Smiles,
Lisa
