Greetings, Ashley, and a very happy welcome to planDisney! It's a delight to connect with a fellow Californian planning a Disneyland Resort visit. March is just around the corner! I'm excited to be a part of your planning journey and help make your upcoming trip truly unforgettable.
It's fantastic that you're taking advantage of the
Southern California Residents Ticket offer! It's like getting an insider's perk—a special way for us SoCal neighbors to experience multiple days of enchantment at the Happiest Place on Earth!
Now, for the important details: To use this special ticket, you'll need to show a valid, government-issued photo ID at the gate. Think of it as your key to the magic! I do need to share a little heads-up, though, Ashley: While a passport and Global Entry card are wonderful for traveling the world, they don't show your home address. For this particular offer, a Cast Member will need to confirm you're a resident within the
eligible SoCal ZIP codes.
No need to worry just yet, though—there's still plenty of pixie dust in the air! In my experience, California IDs are often delivered pretty quickly, so there's a good chance you'll have it in hand before your trip. Keep those positive vibes flowing! And remember, the best part about the SoCal Resident Ticket is its flexibility. You’ll have until May 15, 2025 to use it. That's plenty of time, even if your ID decides to take the scenic route!
And speaking of flexibility, what I love most about the SoCal Residents Tickets is that they give you the choice of visiting either
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park on each day of your visit! It's like having two magical kingdoms at your fingertips. Just keep in mind that these tickets are for one park per day. This means you can fully immerse yourself in all the magic each park has to offer, from the classic fairytales of
Fantasyland to the thrilling adventures of
Cars Land. You’ll get to pick: Will it be a day brimming with classic Disney charm in Disneyland Park, or will you embrace excitement and thrills in California Adventure Park?
Since your magical visit is next month, I want to share an extra treat (literally)! The
California Adventure Food & Wine Festival is happening from February 28–April 21, 2025. And, as a foodie myself, I have to tell you, it's one of my absolute favorite Disneyland Resort events—a true culinary adventure! Picture yourself exploring a wonderland of flavors,
Sip and Savor Pass in hand, discovering delicious bites and sips inspired by the Golden State's amazing bounty. With more than two dozen participating locations, it's a feast for the senses—a chance to sample your way through a delicious array of California-inspired treats!
So there you have it, Ashley—all the pixie-dusted details about the SoCal Resident Ticket offer and a little taste of the Food & Wine Festival! I hope this helps you prepare for a truly magical trip. Please feel free to reach out with any more questions you may have. We here at planDisney are always happy to help!
