Hi there, Amanda!
Welcome back to planDisney! I'm so excited that you're planning a visit to the Disneyland Resort, there's nothing that quite compares to the original Disney magic!
Purchasing
Disneyland Park Tickets online is super easy, I love that the process includes making your
park reservations at the same time. Your tickets will be linked to your Disney account, so you can view them in the
Disneyland Mobile App. I recommend taking screenshots of your tickets in the app before you leave home, so you'll be able to access them even if you don't have cellular service during your trip. I did chat with a Cast Member and they said you're also welcome to request a paper ticket at the ticket booths outside the parks, but there's no guarantee they'll be able to provide one.
While it sounds like you won't have international phone service, you should still be able to use the Disneyland Mobile App on
complementary Wi-Fi networks in the parks. I recommend putting your mobile device in airplane mode so it isn't searching for networks, then using the app during your visit.
The app is necessary for many services around the parks, including
Disney Genie+ and
Mobile Ordering at select locations. It's also the easiest way to preview your Disney PhotoPass photos, check wait times for attractions, and see the daily
entertainment schedule.
Amanda, it looks like you still have a little while before your trip. I hope you're enjoying counting down the days! Soon it will be time to make
dining reservations (yum!) and get packing. If you have more planning questions I would be happy to help you.
Just send me a note and I'll be back in a flash with the pixie dust!
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
