Hi there Samantha! Thanks for dropping by planDisney with your great question.
The
So Cal Resident Ticket offer is such a wonderful opportunity for residents of Southern California to visit the "Happiest Place on Earth" more often! I wish I lived closer so I could take advantage of it. Each Guest that uses a So Cal Resident Ticket must show proof of eligible residency within ZIP codes 90000 to 93599, a valid government-issued photo ID is required. If your family members do not have a government issued photo ID with proof of residency in valid ZIP codes, then they would not be able to use the special So Cal Resident Tickets.
It is so thoughtful of you to want to gift
theme park tickets for your family, even though you cannot gift them the So Cal Resident tickets, you still could gift them theme park tickets for a day at
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park! You could go with them for a great family outing, or you could gift the tickets to them to use in the future. If you wanted to surprise them, you could purchase the tickets and make a
theme park reservation for a date they can attend, or you could give them a
Disney Gift Card to cover the amount of their theme park tickets. They could then make a corresponding theme park reservation for a date that works for them. I cannot think of a more magical surprise!
I hope you're able to visit the Disneyland Resort with your family soon, Samantha!
Please come back to planDisney if we can help with anything else for your future visits.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
