    I’m interested in buying the very limited lightning lane express pass for a date that in January. My ? is do I need to buy the regular lightning express pass or if I fail to buy this limited one will I be able to buy that two days before?

    Hi, Karen! 

    Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney to ask us your question. It sounds like you’re getting excited to visit The Happiest Place on Earth and experience all the theme parks have to offer! 

    Like you mentioned, there is a new option, Lightning Lane Premier Pass, that allows one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane experience in both the theme parks at any time throughout the day without having to choose a specific return time, including top attractions like Radiator Springs Racers and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance! As you know, Lightning Lane Premier Passes can be purchased via the Disneyland mobile app up to two days in advance of your scheduled theme park reservation starting at 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and very limited quantities are available. Be sure to look into purchasing it via the app as soon as you’re able for the best chance of securing it for yourself and any others in your party.  

    However, if you are not able to buy Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you may still have the option of purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass which allows you to skip the standby queue for some of the most popular attractions and instead return to the separate Lightning Lane entrance at a designated time with a reduced wait. As an additional perk, you also get unlimited digital downloads of the Disney PhotoPass photos captured during your trip! You can buy Lightning Lane Multi Pass as an add-on when purchasing your theme park ticket (if you haven’t done that already) or via the Disneyland mobile app after you have entered a theme park. 

    I hope this helps answer your question, Karen. Please write back if you need any more advice before your pixie-dusted travels begin!

    Wishing you magic,
    Courtney
