Hello, Jackie!
Welcome back to planDisney! I’m happy you stopped by with another question. It’s always a treat to hear from Guests who love both
Disneyland Resort and
Walt Disney World Resort as much as we do!
Once you have scanned into a theme park at Disneyland, you can make
Lightning Lane selections from practically anywhere using the
Disneyland app. My family loves sneaking away for an afternoon swim break, and there’s nothing better than booking a Lightning Lane while lounging by the pool!
You can typically book a new Lightning Lane every two hours, or right after you scan into your current one. Just remember that some fan‑favorite attractions fill up quickly. At Disneyland Park, I’d start with Space Mountain, Indiana Jones Adventure, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Over at Disney California Adventure Park, keep an eye on Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT!, Toy Story Midway Mania!, and the Incredicoaster.
A little tip from someone who always thinks she’ll remember and absolutely never does...set a reminder on your phone for your next Lightning Lane window. Also, if the attraction you want isn’t available when your timer goes off, grab something else and keep checking back. Just be sure to modify instead of canceling so you don’t accidentally reset your two‑hour countdown.
During your visit, try to make time to jump into hyperspace on
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run! Beginning May 22, 2026, a brand‑new adventure featuring
The Mandalorian and Grogu will be part of the attraction. I can’t wait to experience it myself!
Jackie, have a wonderful time at Disneyland Resort. We hope to see you real soon!
Magic Happens!
Jen
