    I am a student at Chapman University. Can I buy a Disneyland ticket as a SoCal resident? What ID do I need to show to qualify? My drivers license will not have a SoCal address.

    Hi Miranda!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney. I am more than happy to answer your questions about the 3 Day SoCal ticket. I remember taking my college friends to Disneyland for the first time; we had such a blast. Sometimes you need a break from school, and what better place to go to than “The Happiest Place on Earth!”

    In order to purchase the 3 Day SoCal ticket, you do have to use a valid government photo ID. Additionally, a Cast Member will  have to verify your address on the ID prior to your entry. Accepted IDs include a drivers license of a California ID. Unfortunately things like a utility bill, phone bill, or even a school ID will not be accepted. 

    Initially when I saw this deal, I thought I had to live closer to Disneyland to qualify, but people who live in the ZIP codes 90000 to 93599 qualify for this deal. This covers cities like San Bernardino and San Diego! Who would have thought? Just wanted to share that incase there was a chance that you might have a driver license with a qualifying address.

    If that still does not include your original address, I’m sorry Miranda. Keep your eye out for future offers and discounts. In the meantime, consider stopping by Downtown Disney for a taste of the Disney magic. I love to grab dinner there with my sister when I need a dose of Disney. I am really excited to try the new eateries inside the Parkside Market, like Seoul Sister! I’ll be wishing on a star, hoping that your dream of seeing Mickey will come true soon. Please feel free to write back to me or my fellow panelist if you have any more questions

    Wishing you a magical trip!
