    I would like to get the lightning premier pass. How do I get it?

    Hi Kristy!

    Welcome back to planDisney! You are just about a week away from your time at the Happiest Place on Earth - you must be getting so excited. Right about now, I would start humming some of my favorite Disney tunes, have a little extra pep in my step, and start daydreaming about my favorite treats (I'm looking at you, Mickey Beignet!)!

    It looks like you are hoping to add a little extra magic to your day with the Lightning Lane Premier Pass. While I haven't yet tried it myself, I've heard all good things as it allows one-time entry to each and every Lightning Lane experience in either Disneyland or California Adventure (or both, if you have a Park Hopper ticket!). The best part is that you don't have to book return windows ahead of time and can stroll up to the Lightning Lane queue whenever you like. The Premier Pass can be purchased directly in the Disneyland App up to 7 days ahead of your theme park reservation, starting at 7:00 AM PST, subject to availability. As of this morning, they are available through April 5th, so your date should be opening up soon. When you head into the app, you will see "Lightning Lane Premier Pass" front and center on the main page, along with a button to "Purchase". If you tap in here, you will be able to view the calendar and can plan out when your date will become available. I'd recommend setting an alert for yourself so you remember to log in to secure those passes!

    In addition to the freedom you will have to experience all the magic the parks have to offer, the Premier Pass also includes unlimited downloads of all the Disney PhotoPass photos captured that day. You can really lock in those memories with this pixie-dusted perk! Don't be shy; hop into all those picture-perfect moments when you see a photographer in the parks! You can even do a bit of advanced planning here by heading into the map icon in the app. Across the top, you can scroll to "PhotoPass" and the photographer locations will be revealed across both parks. 

    Kristy, I sure hope we've set you up for a successful day in the parks. If you have any more questions in your planning, we are always here for you at planDisney.

    Magic awaits!
