Hello Dana!
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for dropping by with your question!
It is not necessary to change the name on your
theme park ticket ahead of your visit. That’s because upon arrival a Cast Member will take a picture of the person using each ticket. Then, the ticket is associated with the person in the picture, not the name on the ticket. So, bring someone else with you and head straight to the turnstiles when you arrive!
You're arriving just in time for one of my favorite seasons at parks,
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort! I love the characters in costume, all the pumpkin spice treats and of course Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party! While you're here, make sure to snap a picture with the Mickey Pumpkin on Main Street U.S.A. and check out Jack's holiday takeover at
Haunted Mansion Holiday.
Thanks again for stopping by and enjoy your visit to “The Happiest Place on Earth!”
