Hi there Dana! Welcome to planDisney, we're so glad you're here!
I am always trying to find the best way and strategy to cut down on our family waiting in lines. Maximizing our time in the parks is always my number one priority!
The most exclusive option is to explore a
Disneyland Resort VIP Tour. It is a customizable VIP experience for your family, you'll be able to enjoy expedited access to your favorite attractions at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. You'll also receive reserved viewing to great entertainment such as parades and nighttime spectaculars pending availability!
Disneyland Resort VIP Tours are expensive, so a more budget-friendly option would be to explore
Disney Genie+ Service which is transforming to Lightning Lane Multi Pass later this month. Purchasing this service gives you access to
Lightning Lane entrances and shorter wait-times, and if you've already purchased your theme park ticket, you can purchase the service in the Disneyland app as soon as you enter the parks and scan your ticket.
You can also purchase
Individual Lightning Lane selections (transforming to Lightning Lane Single Pass later this month) which gives you access to a Lightning Lane entrance for some of the most popular attractions such as Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disneyland Park, and Radiator Springs Racers in Disney California Adventure Park. These attractions are not included in Disney Genie+ Service/Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and you can purchase them a la carte during your trip which is a great option.
I hope these recommendations are what you were looking for, Dana! If we can help with any other questions before your trip,
please come back and ask. You've got a friend in me!
Have a magical day!
Melissa
