Hiya, pal!
Welcome to
planDisney. I’m glad to hear you’re planning a trip to the
Disneyland Resort for your
birthday. There is no better location than the Happiest Place on Earth to celebrate a special occasion!
It sounds like you’re interested in purchasing
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, an optional ticket add-on, for your visit to the theme parks. It’s a great way to reduce your time spent waiting in line so you can make the most of your day! As you mentioned, a perk of purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass is that you also get unlimited digital downloads of the
Disney PhotoPass photos captured during your day.
If you choose not to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass during your trip,
Disney PhotoPass+ One Week includes digital downloads of photos captured over seven consecutive days. The cost for this is currently $78, but please note that prices are subject to change at any time. You can download your photos directly to a mobile device using the
Disneyland mobile app, or you can log in to the Disney PhotoPass website to view, download, or (for an additional fee) order physical prints and gifts featuring your images.
Purchasing a
MagicBand+ to use during your visit would give you the ability to enter the theme parks or check in at Lightning Lane entrances with just a tap of your band if you also purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or
Lightning Lane Single Pass. They have the ability to glow in multiple colors and can pulse with vibrations. This makes the bands a magical way to enhance your experience in the parks, especially during shows and nighttime spectaculars! However, they are not required. You can simply use the Disneyland mobile app on your smartphone to scan your theme park ticket for entry and to redeem Lightning Lane selections.
I hope this information helps, my friend, and that your visit to the Disneyland Resort is a dream come true! Please feel free to
write back if you have more questions as your trip draws near.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
