Oh boy, Melanie! Sounds like you and your friend have a special visit coming up to the Happiest Place on Earth. Thank you for trusting us with your question. I'm happy to help!
If both you and your friend purchase
Lightning Lane Multi Pass (formerly named Genie+), and you link her theme park ticket to your MyDisney account, she will still be able to access her Lightning Lane Multi Pass, yes! In fact, I recommend you both
link each other's tickets to your own accounts. This way, either one of you will be able to book return times for the both of you, if you want! (You can also make reservations only for yourself. That's an option too!)
Lightning Lanes allow you to zip past standby lines on
popular attractions, so you can experience more on your visit to Disneyland. As soon as you (or your friend) enter the parks, you may use the Tip Board in the
Disneyland app to choose a Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction and book the next available time to ride it. Make a reservation for one attraction at a time OR after two hours have passed, whichever comes first.
Tip: Set yourself a reminder on your phone to make sure you reserve a Lightning Lane every two hours! This way you'll maximize your Lightning Lane Multi Pass and experience more during your Disneyland day.
I hope you and your friend have the most magical day, Melanie! If you think of anything else to chat about, like maybe where to find the best Disneyland snacks or some strategies to make sure you hit all your top priorities,
stop on by again! I could talk about Disneyland all day long.
Your pal,
McCayla
