Greetings, John, and welcome to planDisney! Your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is just around the corner. It sounds like you're referring to the
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, which gives you access to shorter lines at select attractions. It's a great way to fit more magic into your day at the Disneyland Resort.
You should be able to upgrade your unused tickets to include the Lightning Lane Multi Pass on the
Disneyland website or
mobile app. However, this would add the multi pass for each day of your theme park ticket – there isn't a way to apply it to only part of a multi-day ticket. If you prefer to use the pass for just one day, then you'll want to purchase it in the
Disneyland mobile app on the day of your visit just after scanning into the park. The pass is subject to availability, so it's best to be there in the morning.
Whether you upgrade your tickets in advance or purchase the multi pass on the day of your visit, you'll want to make sure all five of your theme park tickets are linked to your MyDisney account. That way, each will show up when it's time to make the purchase.
With the multi pass, attractions are selected one at a time. In the mobile app, you'll browse through the available attractions, select an arrival window, and head to the attraction when it's time. As soon as you redeem your selection, you can make your next pick. Or, if two hours have passed, you can make another selection.
There are a few other options, too.
Lightning Lane Single Passes are also available for a few of the most popular attractions not included in the multi pass. You can purchase those separately on the day of your visit once you're in the park. For the ultimate experience, get the
Lightning Lane Premier Pass – it doesn't require arrival windows and includes all Lightning Lane attractions. That pass could be purchased in the mobile app up to seven days ahead of your visit.
Make sure you have a chance to experience
Haunted Mansion Holiday – it's a seasonal variation of the popular ghostly attraction and includes countless nods to The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's included on the Lightning Lane Multi Pass. The other specially themed ride this time of year is
Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark in California Adventure. It's a real thrill! There's a lot more
Halloween Time fun to discover, including festive décor, entertainment, food and beverage items, and more.
John, I hope your visit to the Disneyland Resort is one for the memory books! If you think of any other questions, please reach out again – we're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
