Online ticket barcodes

[BlueRibbon]

I know this is a very technical question, but I think will have a big impact for those going to Disneyland on Jan 17, 2020 or shortly thereafter.

For those who buy 1,2 or 3 day passes online, they print out a sheet of paper with a barcode. Does anyone know if the barcode on the sheet of paper is the same barcode that will appear on the ticket that is printed out at the turnstile?

Reason I ask is because DD, BIL, and my brother are planning to hit Disneyland on the 17th for ROTR. DD, BIL and I have APs, but my brother does not. He's planning on buying a 3 day pass, which he prints out before first use, and then gets a paper Disneyland ticket first time he goes through the turnstile.

It would save valuable seconds trying to get a boarding pass if I could scan his barcode in while we're waiting outside the park. The alternative would be to scan it in after we're in , then try to get a boarding pass. However, we all know that sometimes the Disneyland App likes to "think" for a while on certain operations....

You can definitely scan it in before you get through the turnstile. The barcode doesn't stay the same, but it automatically converts once scanned at the turnstile.

You didn’t say where you were buying the tickets from. You can buy tickets directly in the app. I think most discounted tickets also have the option to scan it to the app before you enter the park. The ones I got from Last minute travel did.

He's buying the military discount tickets. I saw the paper ticket he had on the last 3 day ticket he had and it looked like a regular Disneyland online ticket. Thanks for the help!
