    Sharon from BC Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    Can you use a screenshot of your Disney ticket to enter the park.

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney Sharon!  It looks like your trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth" is right around the corner, hooray!

    The best way to enter either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park is to have your theme park ticket stored in your Disneyland Mobile App. I chatted with a Cast Member, and they did not recommend using a screenshot since it can be unreliable.  She recommended using the Disneyland app, or you can show the printed eTicket from your confirmation email.  You will also need a corresponding theme park reservation to accompany your theme park ticket for each day you plan on visiting the parks!  

    As an alternative to using your mobile phone, you could also purchase a MagicBand+ when you arrive to the Disneyland Resort. I love saving some phone battery during the day and using my MagicBand+ to scan into the parks as well as for Lightning Lane Multi Pass.  There are so many fun designs and themes, I recommend popping into the World of Disney store in the Downtown Disney District to browse the huge selection!

    I hope this helps answer your question, Sharon!  Please come back and visit us if we can help with anything else.

    Have a magical trip!
