I’m Jessica at The Happiest Blog on Earth and I’m answering common Disneyland “How To” questions so you can get the quick answer and be on your way.
Right here we’ll go over “How To Link My Disneyland Tickets” because you’re going to need those linked for the best Disneyland experience. Originally published October 13, 2023.
How To Link Disneyland Tickets
This process shares how to link any valid Disneyland ticket, including Disneyland tickets purchased with Get Away Today, park hopper tickets, one park per day tickets and Magic Keys.
- If you bought your Disneyland tickets through Disney, they should already be linked to your Disneyland account. It’s the same account you use across Disney platforms like Disney+, the Disneyland app, My Disney Experience and more.
- If you bought your tickets through a third party like Get Away Today, your tickets will be emailed to you almost instantly and you’ll want to link those.
- If you want to link your tickets to your MagicBand, I cover that here.
How To Link Tickets on the Disneyland App
These steps work for your own tickets ordered through Get Away Today as well as linking friends tickets to your Disneyland app account.
If you get a physical, paper ticket printed at the gate (rare these days!) you can also follow these steps to link them.
- Make sure you have the Disneyland App downloaded on your phone and sign in using your Disney account log in.
- Tap the 3 lines on the bottom right of the Disney app. Go to “Tickets and Passes” on the top left.
- Tap the blue “+” (plus) icon on the top right to display “Link Tickets & Passes.”
- You will see three options to link your Disneyland tickets: camera, tap and type ID.
- Camera – follow the prompts to open your camera and take a photo of your e-ticket or physical ticket. It doesn’t even have to be printed out if you have the bar code or QR code on your computer screen. If you are linking a friend’s ticket you can have them open their tickets in the Disneyland app and you can use your camera to scan their ticket into your app as well.
- Tap – link your MagicBand+ to the Disneyland app with this feature. Old Magic Bands without the “plus” feature will not work.
- Type ID – manually type your ticket number into the text box. You can find your ticket confirmation number under the barcode of your e-ticket. If you are linking a friend’s ticket you can have them text you the ticket number or read it to you as you type.
- Note – it doesn’t matter whose name is on the tickets, they are only tied to a specific person by their photo once they enter Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park.
- Your tickets are now linked! Continue adding all members of your party with this process. You can view each ticket on the Disneyland app by tapping the 3 horizontal lines on the bottom right. Go to “Tickets and Passes” on the top left and scroll to view all your tickets.
Sometimes the Disneyland official app will prompt you to log in to your Disneyland account several times over the course of a day. Ugh!
Make sure you know your login info (email address and password) or ask a Cast Member for help should you need additional help at the parks.

Q&A How To Link My Disneyland Tickets
Do you have more questions about how to link your Disneyland tickets?
Add them to the comment section so I can keep the answers coming.
Can I use the same log in I use for Walt Disney World on the My Disney Experience App?
Yes, you can log into the Disneyland app or the Disneyland website using your Walt Disney World Resort log in or My Disney Experience account.
How do I find my Disneyland tickets from Get Away Today?
You can find your Disneyland e-tickets from Get Away Today in your email communication.
The subject line is “Get Away Today Vacation Itinerary” and it will be sent from getaway@getawaytoday.com. If you do not see your tickets in your email, check spam or call 855 GET AWAY for assistance.
What’s the benefit of linking my entire party tickets?
When you’re using Lightning Lane Multi Pass (and you should!), it’s nice to have your entire party’s tickets linked so you can coordinate ride times together.
Should I link my tickets to everyones account or should we all log in to my account?
For privacy reasons, it’s best to use your own Disney account but in reality most families and trusted friends tend to log into one account during their trip.
You can have multiple people logged into one Disney account on various mobile apps at one time without concern.
Just remember, if someone is using your account they also may have access to your other Disney accounts and charging/credit card capabilities for things like mobile order and retail checkout on your mobile device.
