Welcome back to planDisney, Ariel! With your
MagicBand+ and
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you’re already set for a smooth and magical visit at the Disneyland Resort. I’d be delighted to walk you through each step so you’ll feel completely prepared before you arrive.
Once you’ve entered either Disneyland or Disney California Adventure, open the
Disneyland app. On the home screen, you’ll see the option to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass. After reviewing the benefits, scroll down and tap “Get Lightning Lane Multi Pass.” You’ll then see all the tickets linked to your account that have been scanned into the park that day. From here, simply check the boxes next to your two tickets, complete your purchase, and you’ll be ready to start reserving Lightning Lane return times, all from one phone. It’s an easy way to manage everything in one place, and it keeps the whole process stress-free.
When your return time arrives, head over to the Lightning Lane entrance for your chosen attraction. This is where your MagicBand+ really shines. Instead of opening your phone, simply tap your MagicBand+ against the Mickey touchpoint. You’ll see the light glow and hear the cheerful chime that signals your entry. Each Guest with a MagicBand+ scans in individually, so both of you will just tap in one after the other. For example, if you’ve secured Lightning Lane access for Space Mountain, you’ll both tap in at the Tomorrowland entrance before heading down into the launch bay. The same process works for other attractions like
Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout or
Indiana Jones Adventure.
If you’d prefer not to use MagicBand+, the Disneyland app also provides a scannable Lightning Lane code. However, most Guests find the MagicBand+ option quicker and more fun. Plus, the extra magic it brings, like lighting up and vibrating during shows like
World of Color Happiness! or even during moments on
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, adds an extra sprinkle of Disney storytelling to your day.
I hope this walkthrough clears up the process for you, Ariel. With everything linked to one phone, you’ll have no trouble purchasing, booking, and scanning Lightning Lane experiences for both of you. Wishing you a seamless and joy-filled visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
Enjoy every magical moment,
David
