    I am not able to get into the basic planning wizard to start my plan for Disneyland. If I have the Disney World app does that work for Disney land? How much is a Premier lightning lane pass for Disneyland?

    Hey, howdy, hey, Clark!

    While there are many similarities between the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and the Disneyland Resort in California, each destination offers its own unique experiences. So the tools for planning and carrying out visits to either location are somewhat unique from each other. At Disney World, Guests can use either the My Disney Experience website or the My Disney Experience mobile app to build and plan their ultimate experience at the Most Magical Place on Earth. Guests traveling to the Disneyland Resort can use either the My Plans page on the Disneyland website or the Disneyland mobile app as they get ready to experience The Happiest Place on Earth. It's important to use the specific tools for each respective destination. For your convenience, you can usually use the same My Disney account for logging in to either set of tools.

    The Lightning Lane Premier Pass allows a Guest the opportunity to use the Lightning Lane entrance up to one time at each of the participating attractions during the day without needing to schedule a specific return time. You can find the price of the Premier Pass at the Disneyland Resort by downloading the Disneyland mobile app. Open the app's ☰ feature menu, then tap the Lightning Lane Passes tile. The Premier Pass may be purchased up to seven days in advance. The price varies each day, depending on demand, and may be subject to change without notice. You can go ahead and take a look in the app to see the currently offered per-Guest price for the next seven days to get an idea of the approximate range of prices you might expect. The number of Premier Passes is limited. So I recommend making your purchase as early as possible after your seven-day window begins.

    It may be helpful to note some key differences between the planning tools for Disneyland versus Disney World. Perhaps the biggest difference is that Disneyland doesn't have an equivalent of a Friends and Family list. What this means is that some plans, such as dining reservations and reservations for Enchanting Extras are managed by only the one account used to book them. It's also possible to use only one account to purchase park tickets and manage theme park reservations. However, Guests with their own My Disney accounts may also choose to link some or all of your party's tickets to their respective accounts as well. That can be helpful for when parts of your party may choose to split up and would like to redeem Lightning Lane return times separately or maybe exit and re-enter the theme parks to take a break at your Disneyland Resort Hotel or shop at the Downtown Disney District. If a Guest has a MagicBand+ from Disney World that they'd like to use at Disneyland, I recommend that they use the same account used to manage that band at Disney World for the Disneyland app to link their Disneyland ticket and assign that ticket to the MagicBand+.

    I hope you have a magical time at the Disneyland Resort, Clark. Should you have any more questions as you get ready to visit The Happiest Place on Earth, we'd be happy to help here at planDisney.

    See ya real soon, Clark!
