    How far ahead of time can you purchase a lightning lane

    Ka-chow! Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Allison. Just like Lightning McQueen, you'll be speeding through the parks with Lightning Lane Multi Pass.

    You can add Lightning Lane Multi Pass to your Disneyland theme park ticket at the time of purchase, which can be done as far out as 240 days from today. Keep in mind that if you are purchasing a multi-day ticket and decide to include this as an add-on, it will be added for each day of your ticket. If you only want this option for certain days (or if you don't include it as an add-on), you can purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass on the day of your visit. Once you've scanned your ticket and entered the park, open the Disneyland app and you'll see the option to add this for the day.

    If you're thinking about purchasing the Lightning Lane Premier Pass, this can be done starting at 7:00 AM Pacific Time up to 7 days before the start of your park visit. This pass gives you one-time access to every Lightning Lane attraction for both parks. This also includes the Lightning Lane Single Pass attractions. And you don't have to schedule anything. Whenever you're ready, simply scan your pass and enjoy the attraction. Just when you thought it couldn't get better.

    Make sure to take advantage of the complimentary digital photos from Disney PhotoPass photographers throughout the day as well. Photos are always my most treasured souvenirs from visits and it's nice to have everyone in the shot!

    Allison, I hope this helps as you're gearing up for your visit. Let us know if there's anything else that we can help with in the meantime. Here's wishing you a most magical time at the Happiest Place on Earth. Life is a highway!
