Hey there, hi there, David! Welcome to planDisney. We are so glad you are here with a ticket question for us. We love helping other Guests get all the answers to their planning questions.
Wow! You have quite a big party coming to the parks soon! I love hearing that you will be at Disneyland Hotel. I've stayed at this hotel the most out of the resort hotels and just love it so much. I love all the nostalgia and charm it has. Unfortunately, there is no price advantage to purchasing
Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass for the group. The
Magic Key holders in the group do receive a 25% discount on their Lightning Lane Multi Pass purchase.
For your Magic Key holders in the group, they will need to purchase Multi Pass each day once they scan into the park. For the ticket holders, you may be able to change the tickets to include Lightning Lane Multi Pass through the Disneyland website or
Disneyland app once they are linked to a Disney account. If you do this, you will have to purchase this service for the entire ticket. Otherwise, you can purchase it on the days you wish to use it once you can into the parks like the Magic Key holders.
I've got two tips for a smooth Lightning Lane Multi Pass day. The first would be to add a credit card to your Disney account profile ahead of time so that if you are purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass day of, you will be able to check out quicker through the Disneyland app with your card already stored, versus having to type in all the card information. The second would be that I always recommend one or two people in a party add all of the tickets to their account (each ticket holder or Magic Key Pass holder can also have their ticket on their own account). This makes getting Lighting Lane selections a lot easier for the group, as you can do it in one transaction rather than trying to get everyone to get a similar return time separately.
David, I hope I was able to give you some useful information. We are here for any other last-minute planning questions. Here's to the magic and lots of great memories!
