What if I put the wrong name on my Disneyland reservation?

Yes, it is possible to change names on tickets. You can place a call to the Tickets services phone line and a Cast Member there can help you out. Alternatively, for most theme park tickets, it's often fine if the name on the ticket does not match the person actually using the ticket.



If you discover a name error on a Disneyland or Disney Resort reservation in 2026, the severity depends on whether it is a theme park ticket or a hotel booking. For hotel reservations, you can usually call the Disney Travel Company or use the "Manage My Booking" feature on the official website to correct a spelling error for free. For theme park tickets, Disney's policy is that tickets are "non-transferable," meaning you cannot officially change the name from one person to another once it has been used. However, if you haven't used the ticket yet and made a simple typo (e.g., "Jone" instead of "John"), a Cast Member at the Guest Relations window can usually fix it in seconds upon seeing your photo ID. In more rigid environments like Shanghai Disney or Hong Kong Disneyland, name and ID verification are much stricter due to local regulations; if the name on the ticket does not match your passport exactly, you may be denied entry. The "pro" tip is to link your tickets to the My Disney Experience app immediately; if you see a major error there, calling the Disney "Help Center" before you arrive at the park is the best way to ensure a smooth "rope drop" experience.
