    Can I purchase the premiere pass 7 days in advance via the Disneyland app if I have a hotel+parks package purchased through Disney and linked through the app, even though I don’t receive the actual tickets until 3 days before?

    Hiya, Melissa, and welcome to planDisney!

    Your trip to the Happiest Place on Earth is quickly approaching. How exciting! To maximize time in the parks, Lightning Lane passes are essential. You have the right strategy because you’re looking to get the most comprehensive one — the Premier Pass! 

    To purchase the Lightning Lane Premier Pass within the Disneyland mobile app, your theme park tickets must be linked to your MyDisney account. If you are currently not able to purchase the Pass, I recommend waiting until you receive your tickets, then try again! If you still encounter any issues, you can always reach out to the Tickets support line to speak with a Cast Member directly.

    Bonus Tip: You will arrive just in time to experience Soarin’ Across America! Be sure to check out the brand new overlay for this iconic attraction when you visit Disney California Adventure.

    Melissa, I hope this information was helpful and that you have a magical time during your upcoming vacation! Please feel free to visit us again here at planDisney if you have any additional questions.

    Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
