    I cannot find the option to add LL Premier Pass to the ticket. I prefer to buy the Premier Pass with the purchase of my ticket I never buy anything through my phone or a phone app. Do I need to purchase the LL Multi Pass first, and then it will be upgrade?

    Greetings, Karim, and welcome to planDisney! I love that you're planning to take advantage of the Lightning Lane Premier Pass for your upcoming visit to the Disneyland Resort. I have some details that may help you plan your purchase!

    The Premier Passes are available through the Disneyland mobile app up to 7 days before your park visit, starting at 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time. It's just too early right now for you to purchase the pass for your upcoming visit. Very limited quantities are available, so I suggest purchasing it soon after it opens up. You do not need to purchase the multi pass first.

    I understand that you don't usually use your phone to buy things, but I have a trick for you to try. When you go to buy the Premier Pass in the Disneyland mobile app, you can add a Disney Gift Card as a payment method. Just have the card number and EAN handy. You can purchase a Disney Gift Card in person at many retail locations or on a computer from the Disney Gift Card website. Each card can hold a maximum value of $1,000, and you can link it to your MyDisney account, transfer balances between cards, and more on the site.

    Now, when it's time to secure your Premier Pass, pull up the app and make sure you're signed in. On the home screen, you may see a Premier Pass banner with a "Purchase" button. Alternatively, tap the icon with the three horizontal lines (≡), select "Lightning Lane Passes," and then tap "Purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass." Follow the prompts, and remember that you'll need a valid ticket and park reservation to purchase the pass. On the purchase screen, tap the little arrow button, and then tap "Add a Payment Method" to use a Disney Gift Card.

    Karim, I hope you have a wonderful time visiting the Disneyland Resort. You should be able to experience many popular attractions with the help of the Premier Pass. Please reach out if you have any other questions – we're always happy to help here at planDisney!

    Wishing you magic,
