Hi Susan!
Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question. Your visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is just a few days away! You must be getting so excited as you sprinkle that pixie dust on your planning. I'm happy to help you navigate your way to the magic!
Adding
Lightning Lane Multi Pass to your ticket will help you make the most of the magic during your park day. While having a
Magic Key is an extraordinary experience with perks popping up throughout the year, benefits do not currently include the ability to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass in advance of your park day. As soon as you scan into a park, head right into the Disneyland App to purchase and make your first Lightning Lane return time. The good news is that at Disneyland, Guests are only able to make a Lightning Lane selection once they are physically in the parks. The earlier you arrive, the better chance you have of securing your first choice!
While you are in the app, you'll want to head to the Magic Key Portal, specifically
"Extras Unlocked", where you can see all of the current perks, surprises, and giveaways. Hopefully, a few will align with your visit! I just took a peek myself, and with
Halloween Time kicking off August 22nd, you'll want to take a few happily haunted notes! From the limited-edition Kuzco Poison Sipper to a special
Disney PhotoPass Magic Shot in New Orleans Square to exclusive Magic Key Halloween Merchandise, oh my! You might also want to consider making a reservation at the
Magic Key Terrace in California Adventure for a midday break from the park hustle and bustle. Kick back and relax over lunch and a cocktail (or mocktail - the Heimlich Chew Chew Juice is very refreshing!). It also looks like they are currently offering a Pumpkin Cannoli if you're feeling like a seasonal treat!
Susan, while I know this was likely not the news you were hoping for, I do hope it's been helpful in your planning. No matter what, you are in for an unforgettable visit. If you have any more questions, we are always here for you at
planDisney.
Magic awaits!
