Hi there, Michael! From a fellow Midwesterner-turned-Californian, I’m so excited to welcome you to planDisney! How incredibly exciting that your visit to the Disneyland Resort is just around the corner! It's practically tomorrow in pixie dust time, and the magic is almost here!
You've asked a great question about
Lightning Lane Multi Pass that you purchased with your park tickets back in March. Let me put your mind at ease faster than the
Incredicoaster launch: Yes, absolutely! Your pre-purchased Lightning Lane Multi Pass for both days is perfectly valid and all set for your arrival. Once purchased and linked to your ticket or reservation for a specific day, it's ready and waiting for you.
The magic officially starts the moment you scan your ticket and enter
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park (whichever park you're starting in on your respective park days). Your Lightning Lane Multi Pass for that day will “automagically” become active within the
Disneyland mobile app. At that point, you'll be ready to start maximizing your day by making your first Lightning Lane selection!
Speaking of… let's talk about how to make those Lightning Lane selections like a pro! It only takes a few moments to book your first attraction. First, open the app and tap the menu button (three-lined icon) at the bottom right. Then, tap the “Today’s Plans” button and select the “Tip Board” tab at the top. You can view the Multi Pass-eligible experiences on this page, and once you’ve found an attraction you’d like to book, simply tap the “Select” button next to the attraction’s return time. You’ll then select your park ticket, as well as any other eligible Guests’ tickets in your party that also have Multi Pass activated, and confirm your return time. Once that time comes around, just head over to the attraction and enter at the designed Lightning Lane entrance. You’ll be greeted by a Cast Member who will ask you to scan your park ticket for admission. Piece of cake!
I have two other tips I’d love to share with you since you’ve already purchased Multi Pass! First, this pass comes with unlimited
Disney PhotoPass digital downloads. You’ll love this feature if you enjoy capturing photos during your visit. The PhotoPass photographers located throughout the park will gladly take fun photos of your party with a professional camera, meaning you won’t have to take your phone out of your pocket to capture that perfect shot. And, speaking of your phone, Multi Pass also comes with access to complimentary
Disney PhotoPass Lenses in the app. I used these myself just last weekend and had a blast—these are especially great for keeping yourself and your group entertained while waiting in line!
I hope this clears everything up and helps you head into your trip with extra confidence and excitement, Michael! Knowing your Lightning Lane Multi Pass is ready to roll means more time anticipating the fun ahead. Have an absolutely spectacular time soaking up all the magic during your adventure next month! If any other questions zip into your mind before then, race back over to planDisney—we're always happy to help!
Wishing you a fantastic visit!
