    Hi, I've purchased 3-day CA resident ticket and if I want to buy lightening Lane Pass separately(not as an add-on when purchasing resident ticket) for my first visit, how many days in advance of the appointment date can I purchase the LLM? Thanks.

    Hey there, hi there, Zhaowen! Welcome to planDisney. We are happy to have you stop by planDisney to ask us a question.

    I am thrilled to hear you were able to take advantage of the California Resident Ticket Offer! It's such a great deal! Be sure that you bring a valid government ID that has your current California address on it. You will be asked to verify your residency when activating your ticket. I think that Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a great idea for your visit. If you did not purchase it as an add-on to your ticket, you will be able to purchase it as soon as you scan into the park with your ticket. You can purchase this through the Disneyland app. 

    To make your Lightning Lane purchase quick and easy, I have a recommendation for you! Before your visit, add a form of payment to your profile in the Disneyland app. This gives you the option to use that card at checkout, which is much easier than typing in all your card information at checkout. To do this, tap the menu bar on the bottom right and then tap "My Profile". There, you can add a payment method.

    Zhaowen, I hope this information helps you on your visit. If you have any other questions before your visit, be sure to stop back by!
