Hiya, Eric, and welcome to planDisney! I did a happy bounce like Tigger when I saw your arrival date! Your visit to The Happiest Place on Earth is just around the corner, and it's during a truly magical time: the
Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration! You're arriving right in the middle of the party, and I can't wait for you to experience all the special "Celebrate Happy" festivities.
I see you have your reservations confirmed, and now you're looking for your tickets. Not to worry, finding them is as easy as saying "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!". Your key to the magic is the
Disneyland mobile app. If you haven't already, I'd recommend downloading it now, as it’ll be your best pal for your entire visit. Once you have the app open and are signed in to your MyDisney account, simply tap the menu button (☰) at the bottom right of the screen and then select the "My Tickets & Passes" option. Your theme park tickets should be waiting for you there.
If you don't see them, Hakuna Matata! It just means you’ll need to link them manually. In that same "My Tickets & Passes" section, just tap the plus sign (+) in the top right corner and choose "Link Tickets & Passes". You'll have the option to either use your phone's camera to scan the barcode or select the "Type ID" tab to enter the number manually. You should be able to find that ticket ID number or barcode in the confirmation email you received when you made your purchase.
I also wanted to share a quick tip about the park entry process, especially if this is your first visit or you've not been in a while. Don't worry, it's a piece of cake! When you first arrive at the gates, you'll scan your ticket from the app (or tap your
MagicBand+) at one of the shiny new kiosks. The screen will then prompt you to smile for a quick picture, which is captured with a simple tap. That photo links you to your ticket, and just like that, the gates will magically swing open to welcome you in! If you have a multi-day ticket, you only need to do this on your first entry. For the rest of your visit, the camera will simply and quickly verify your face, and the gates will open for another day of fun.
Before you blast off on your adventure, Eric, I'd love to share one last tip to make your visit even more magical. Since you're visiting during the special Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, I highly recommend checking the entertainment schedule in your Disneyland app. Just tap the menu button (☰), then select “Park Hours & Info”. The “Today” tab at the top will be your guide to all the magical happenings for the day. There are so many new and returning shows, and you won't want to miss them! My personal can't-miss favorite is the
Celebrate Happy Cavalcade. It's a fantastically fun and energetic procession down Main Street, U.S.A., with Mickey and his pals in their special celebration outfits—it's sure to put a smile on your face!
You are all set to step into the magic, Eric! I’m wishing you a visit that’s filled with happy celebrations, dazzling sights, and all the
churros you can eat. Have the most wonderful time making new memories at The Happiest Place on Earth. See ya real soon!
