Overview
- Disneyland Resort began testing paper tickets for Pin Tuesday lines on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, with cast members handing out one slip per person at merchandise locations.
- Guests must give their paper ticket to the cashier when buying a release item so anyone who cut the queue after tickets were handed out cannot complete a purchase.
- Cast members said the pilot is focused on high‑demand Kingdom Hearts pin drops but could be used for other Tuesday releases if the test succeeds.
- The change responds to weeks of early‑morning lines, spot‑saving, line‑cutting and reseller-driven conflict that have sometimes led to verbal or physical confrontations.
- A previous wristband method used for a Stitch 626 Day release provided a model for physical access controls and the resort may expand ticketing based on how the pilot performs.
