Aloha, Dawn!
E komo mai to planDisney! I am so glad you stopped by with this question!
This sounds like the start of a magical family adventure! The
Lightning Lane Premier Pass is a fantastic way to make the most of your Disneyland Resort day, giving you access to eligible attractions through the Lightning Lane entrances without needing to select a return time.
Lightning Lane Premier Passes can be purchased through the
Disneyland Mobile App up to 7 days before your park visit, beginning at 7:00 AM Pacific Time. Quantities are extremely limited, so you'll want to have your mouse ears on and be ready in the Disneyland App as soon as your booking window opens to have the best chance of securing those sought-after passes! Just keep in mind that the Lightning Lane Premier Pass does not include theme park admission. You'll still need valid park tickets and a theme park reservation to enter the parks.
Since you'll be visiting in August, get ready for plenty of sunshine, longer park days, and all the energy that comes with summer at the Happiest Place on Earth! While I'm sure you're no strangers to warm weather coming from Hawaiʻi, it's still important to stay hydrated during a day filled with attractions, entertainment, shopping, and lots of walking. Be sure to take advantage of the
complimentary refillable water bottle stations located throughout Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. They can be a welcome oasis between adventures, helping your crew stay comfortable and ready for every magical moment.
Dawn, with a Lightning Lane Premier Pass in hand, you'll have more time to enjoy the details, discover hidden Disney magic, and create memories that will have your family singing "when can do this again" long after you return home.
Wishing you smooth sailing across the Pacific and straight into an unforgettable Disneyland vacation! Have a magical trip, Dawn, and swing by and see us if we can help with anything else as your countdown continues!
Mahalo!
