    How does lightning lane work with park hopper in Disneyland/California Adventure? Do I have to enter the second park to start booking times for that park?

    Hey there, Vanessa, and welcome to planDisney! 

    Thanks for stopping by with your question. I'm glad you came to us because there isn't a moment to lose since your super fun visit to the Disneyland Resort is coming up next week! How exciting is that?

    I'm happy to hear that you've included Lightning Lane Multi Pass with your tickets. It'll save you tons of time from waiting in the standby queues for participating attractions. You'll be able to get so much more done during your visit. 

    At the Disneyland Resort, you may make your first Lightning Lane reservation as soon as you enter one of the Parks first thing in the morning. With a Park Hopper Ticket, you are free to make a reservation at either Park (Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park) but you won't be allowed to Park Hop until after 11 a.m., so please keep that in mind. So with some strategic planning, you'll be maximizing your use of the Park Hopper and Lightning Lane system in no time at all!

    You're visiting over my favorite time of year, when the entire Resort celebrates Halloween! Have you seen all the delicious treats that you'll find throughout the Resort? You'll also be able to catch the seasonal Halloween Screams nighttime spectacular along with the perennial favorite Fantasmic! (weather permitting). 

    Vanessa, I hope this was helpful for your planning and I wish you a magical time at the Disneyland Resort! Please return to us whenever you have more questions because we'd love to hear from you again. Until next time!

    Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!

Meet the Panelist: Al, California

Ahoy there from the heart of Steinbeck Country in central California! I've been visiting the Disneyland Resort since childhood and fell in love with the sense of absolute immersion that the Imagineers have achieved. My favorite attraction is Pirates of the Caribbean because where else can you go from a California day to an evening boat ride in the bayou with "salty old pirates"? I'm a veterinarian and an all-around Disney geek and enthusiast. I'd love to help you plan your next Disneyland trip! Learn More About Al
