    Hi, I’m coming to Disneyland in a couple of weeks with my mum and my 3 year old. Do we all need lightning lane passes or is it just me and my mum? We have our park tickets already

    Welcome to planDisney, Marie!

    You’re just weeks away from your fabulous Disneyland Resort adventure in California! Oh Boy! What a treat to experience The Happiest Place On Earth with three generations of Mouseketeers. I’m sure you’re all buzzing with excitement!

    Marie, each person with an admission ticket who wants quicker access to the attractions will need their own Lightning Lane Multi Pass. However, since your youngling is only 3, they might not get the full benefit of the Lightning Lane for the most popular attractions. Although there are several attractions where the Lightning Lane Standby queue could be used for all heights, such as Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Haunted Mansion, “it's a small world” and Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, for most thrill rides, you’ll need to use Rider Switch, which doesn't require a Multi Pass for your little one. Here’s a video demonstrating how it works.

    So it's up to you to decide if the Lightning Lane Multi Pass is right for everyone or just for you and your Queen Mother. Here's a handy list of all the rides and attractions with no height requirement at the resort.

    I hope these tips make planning your visit as smooth as Dole Whip, Marie! If you have any other questions or need more advice about your visit to the Disneyland Resort, just give me a shout. I’m here to help!

    You’ve got a friend in me,
    Danielle
