    If we buy the 1 day military ticket for Disneyland are we able to add lightning lane to each ticket? If so, can we do that in advance?

    Hi Leigh,

    Thanks for visiting planDisney! Purchasing the Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a great way to maximize your trip to Disneyland.

    If you’ve already purchased your tickets, you can add the Lightning Lane Multi Pass once you scan into the park. Just launch the Disneyland app, and a banner should appear with the option to add the Lightning Lane to your ticket. If you're visiting with a larger group, make sure all tickets are linked to one Disneyland app so you can purchase all the Lightning Lane passes at once.

    If you haven’t bought your tickets yet and are purchasing through the Disneyland website or app, you’ll see an option to add the Lightning Lane to your purchase during checkout.

    Since you're visiting at the tail end of January, you might be there while California Adventure celebrates the Lunar New Year. Last year, Mickey and Minnie wore colorful Korean attire, and Mushu and Mulan greeted guests near Paradise Garden Grill.

    There are lots of tasty bites and beverages to try during the festival, so be sure to purchase a Sip and Savor Pass, which lets you sample several different items (excluding alcoholic drinks). It’s a great deal and a fun way to try a variety of treats! Be sure to check out the Disney Parks Blog foodie guide for the 2025 festival. I really hope they bring back the Kung Pao Bao; so tasty!

    I hope this information was helpful, Leigh! If you have more questions or would like tips for your upcoming adventure, feel free to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We're always here to add a little extra pixie dust to your vacation.

    Have a magical vacation!
