Hello, Ken! Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I am so excited that you will be visiting the Disneyland Resort soon!
As you probably know, theme park tickets can be purchased in advance
online, over the phone ([714] 781-4565), or using the official
Disneyland app. When you order your tickets online, you have the option to select eTicket which means your ticket vouchers will be emailed to you within 24 hours. Once you have the voucher, you can either print it out or bring it up on your mobile device when you arrive at the parks. If you are using the app, you will just need to scan the app when you arrive. Head directly to the gates at either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park and your voucher, either printed or electronic, will be exchanged for a standard paper ticket to be used for the duration of your trip.
You can absolutely use a
Disney Gift Card to purchase your tickets online, but only one gift card can be used at this time. If you have multiple gift cards, your best bet will probably be to purchase your tickets in-person at a ticket booth. Keep in mind that you can also use Disney Gift Cards to purchase merchandise and food once you are in the parks.
I hope this helps! Have a magical day!
