Hi there, Kim! Welcome to planDisney. How exciting that you’re planning a 3-day visit to the Disneyland! I’d be happy to help you understand when you’ll be able to start making your Lightning Lane selections so you can make the most of your time in the parks.
Unlike Lightning Lane Passes at Walt Disney World, Disneyland doesn’t currently allow Guests to make their first Lightning Lane selection days in advance.
Instead, once your theme park ticket has been scanned at the main entrance gates and you’ve entered the park, you’ll be able to select your first eligible attraction for your
Lightning Lane Multi Pass. You’ll receive the next available arrival window for that attraction. After you redeem your selection, or once two hours have passed since you made your selection, you’ll be able to book your next Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction, which is subject to availability. You can choose from eligible attractions in both parks, which is especially convenient with your Park Hopper ticket!
And there’s even more to enjoy with Lightning Lane Multi Pass! You can take advantage of
photo perks, including select digital photo downloads from your magical day. I love having those
photos to look back on after a fun-filled day at the parks, especially now that my toddler is tall enough to ride some of our favorite attractions!
Kim, thank you so much for visiting planDisney! I hope this information helps you feel prepared to make the most of your upcoming visit to the Disneyland. Have a magical time, and enjoy all those Lightning Lane attractions waiting for you! If you have any more questions until then, planDisney is here for you!
With a Sprinkle of Pixie Dust,
Bev
