Greetings, Kristin, and welcome to planDisney! The California Resident Park Hopper Ticket is a great deal, and you'll unlock even more fun with Lightning Lane passes.
At the time of writing this, Kristin, the Disneyland website offers the option to add the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, a Disney Dining Card, and a standard parking voucher to a ticket purchase. You'll be able to add any or all of these when getting your 3-Day Park Hopper Ticket. The Lightning Lane Premier Pass would be purchased as a separate transaction closer to the date of your visit. Before we dive into how that works, let’s take a closer look at the
Lightning Lane pass options.
There are currently three types of Lightning Lane passes to choose from at the Disneyland Resort, each of which can help Guests spend less time waiting in line. If you don't mind managing arrival window selections throughout the day, the
Lightning Lane Multi Pass should work well for you. It's fairly easy to make and modify selections in the app. If you want to visit the two most in-demand attractions with less of a wait, consider the
Lightning Lane Single Pass for each. The
Lightning Lane Premier Pass is your best option if you're looking for an extra special park experience. This pass includes all the Lightning Lane attractions and doesn't require arrival window selections.
If you prefer the Lightning Lane Premier Pass, plan to
purchase it closer to your visit. It typically becomes available seven days out, starting at 7 a.m. Pacific Time.
The timing is different for Guests with a Walt Disney Travel Company package. As long as you have a valid ticket and theme park reservation, you can conveniently purchase this pass (subject to availability) on the
Disneyland mobile app. From the home screen, look for the blue "Lightning Lane Premier Pass" banner and follow the prompts.
Kristin, you are one step closer to happy moments and wondrous experiences at the Disneyland Resort. If you think of any other questions between now and your trip, please reach out – we're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Kriss
