My friends and I are planning a trip to Disneyland as sort of our senoir trip, and we live in AZ. My grandmother lives in CA, would we be able to validly get the Cali resident discount on Disneyland admission tickets if she bought them for us?
I should also add. I know for a fact that Dsneyland offers discounts to local southern california residents. My granmother is a Souther CA resident. Does Disneyland require that the actual users of the admission tickets are from Southern Cali, or is it just who buys them is from Southern CA? Do they ask for ID at the gate or anything like that?

You are correct, Disney does offer discounts to residents of southern Cali within ZIP codes 90000-93599 and Northern Baja residents within ZIP codes 21000-22999. According to their website, they require proof of residency for admission, so it is very likely that they will refuse to admit you if the admission tickets were bought under her name and address unless she is with you.
If you’re only going to Disneyland for one day and not planning to go to other parks on the same day, don’t buy your admission tickets online ahead of time. Buy a "single day theme park admission ticket" at the main gate for $69. Many people make the mistake of buying a 1 day "park hopper" admission ticket online (because the single day admission tickets are not available online) and pay $94. If you’re not hopping parks, why pay more?
Have Fun!
