    How much in advance can I purchase premier pass

    Hey there, Jacqueline! Welcome to planDisney. What a great time to visit Southern California! Today was 72° and sunny here, and I’m so glad you’ll get to thaw out from the Canadian winter and make some memories at the Happiest Place on Earth!

    I’m also stoked you’re thinking about purchasing a Lightning Lane Premier Pass! There is no better way to check off all your must-do attractions at the parks. To answer your question directly, you can check for availability seven days before your visit. The reason I say “check” is that the Lightning Lane Premier Pass is always subject to a very limited quantity. Also, availability opens exactly at 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time, so figure out the time difference, set an alarm, and be on the website ready to order in just a couple of days.

    The great thing about Premier Pass is that you don’t need to schedule arrival times for attractions. While I’ve never purchased Premier Pass, I’ve used Multi Pass many times, and it always strikes me how much I have my eyes on my phone - always looking to make my next reservation. With Premier Pass, since you don’t have to schedule anything, you can leave your phone in your pocket until you get to the entrance of the attraction you’re headed to and simply enjoy the magic of the parks. 

    Jacqueline, you’re going to have access to the Lightning Lane at most of the in-demand attractions. You can ride each of these rides once with your pass. What an exciting day! Be sure to download the Disneyland Mobile App, so you can plan your route through the parks, crossing off attractions from your list like crazy! 

    Another great perk of the Premier Pass is unlimited downloads from PhotoPass, both at attractions and with select PhotoPass photographers. Now you can get through the lines quickly and capture the excitement of the ride! Aside from the great action shots, I love the augmented reality effects used to add more magic to the moment at some of the PhotoPass spots around the parks.

    I hope you have the absolute best time on your trip. Premier Pass or not, it’s going to be great! If you have any other planning questions, don’t hesitate to bring more questions to us at planDisney. I hope you have a magical day!
