Can I buy tickets for someone else on Disney?

It's easy to give Walt Disney World theme park tickets as a gift. Select the tickets that you wish to give and proceed to checkout. In the “Guest Information” section on the Checkout page, select the “This order will be a gift” checkbox. Enter the first and last name of the Guest and make your purchase.



You can certainly buy Disney tickets for other people, whether they are family members, friends, or a gift for a special occasion. When purchasing through the My Disney Experience app or website, you simply assign each ticket to a specific person in your "Family & Friends" list. If the person doesn't have an account yet, you can create a profile for them managed by you. Once the tickets are purchased and linked, they are non-transferable once used, but before the first entry, you can usually reassign them to someone else in your planning group. In 2026, with the integration of MagicBand+ and digital wallets, it is easier than ever to share ticket access. Just ensure that everyone’s name matches their photo ID, as Disney occasionally checks identification at the gate to prevent ticket reselling, which is strictly prohibited.
