Hey there, hi there, Rahul! Oh boy! It sounds like your magical adventure to the Happiest Place on Earth is just a couple of months away! That's the perfect amount of time for dreaming of churros, packing your Mickey ears, and getting extra excited!
You're the designated planning whiz for your fantastic five, I see! And you've already made those all-important park reservations—you're off to a great start!
Now, for your question about names on tickets—let's clear that right up with a sprinkle of Disney magic! The great news is: as long as you have those five tickets and your park reservations are locked in, your crew is good to go, regardless of the names currently on them. When you arrive at the magical gates of Disneyland, a friendly Cast Member will take a photo of each Guest to link each person to their ticket. It's like a digital "enchanted mirror" that remembers who's who! For multi-day tickets, this enchantment only needs to happen once, and each ticket will be forever linked to its rightful owner (for the duration of the ticket, that is!).
If you're planning on using
Lightning Lane Multi Pass (or if you've already added this magical upgrade to your tickets), I have an extra tip for you, Rahul. To make the Lightning Lane experience even smoother, having each person's name on their ticket in the
Disneyland mobile app can be super helpful. For example, some of your party might be brave adventurers ready to conquer
Space Mountain, while others might prefer a gentler journey (and lots of laughs) on
Jungle Cruise. With names assigned, you can easily select who's in for which thrilling (or not-so-thrilling) adventure! It's all about customizing your magical day. To get those names added to your tickets, simply give a ring to the friendly Cast Members on the
ticket support line. They'll be ready to wave their magic wands and update your tickets in no time!
And speaking of planning, Rahul, since your trip is just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about delicious Disney dining! Are there any must-try restaurants on your list? Do you have any characters you just can’t wait to meet? I’m a big fan of the “Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park” character dining event at
Plaza Inn. Or, if I’m over at Disney California Adventure Park, I love
Lamplight Lounge—I’m still dreaming of those potato flautas! Dining reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance of your park visit, which means that the reservation window will be opening for your visit this month! Just head over to the
dining reservations page to browse available options as your visit gets closer. I’d recommend hopping online right at 6 AM PST once your trip countdown hits the 60-day mark so you’ll have the best chance of scoring a spot at one of your must-visit restaurants.
I hope this information helps you plan your perfect Disneyland visit, Rahul! If any more questions pop up like fireworks over
Sleeping Beauty Castle, don't hesitate to zoom back over to planDisney. We're here to help make your trip practically perfect in every way!
Have a magical day!
