Hiya, Hank! First of all, congratulations! Welcoming a little Mouseketeer to the family is such an exciting time, and I bet you can't wait to share the magic of the Happiest Place on Earth with the newest member!
I see that you are just a few days away from your visit to the Disneyland Resort! I am delighted to tell you that while you are asked to assign names to tickets at purchase, the tickets are not officially assigned to a specific Guest until you scan through the Main Entrance Gates for the first time. The Cast Member will snap a quick photo that will pop up any time your ticket is scanned and it is at this point that the ticket is assigned ... so smile big!
I hope you have plans to pop over to Disney California Adventure Park to enjoy the
Food & Wine Festival! Celebrating all things California, a few of my fellow panelists and I got a sneak peek last weekend at some of the tasty bites and delicious sips and they are not to be missed! You might want to take a peek at the
Disney Parks Blog Foodie Guide to EARmark a few things, but I can tell you that the Chicharron-crusted Fried Artichoke Dip from I Heart Artichokes and the SNICKERS Caramel-Peanut Milk Chocolate Mickey Macaron from Nuts About Cheese were my favorites! A great way to enjoy the festival is to grab a
Sip and Savour pass which you can use to experience 8 different food or drink options at most of the 12
Festival Marketplaces! And while you're there, enjoy
Soarin' Over California - back for a limited time during the festival!
Hank, prepare for some magic making ahead! I hope you and your family have a wonderful time at the Happiest Place on Earth, and if any more questions pop up - you know where to find us here at
planDisney.
See ya real soon!
Tara
