    I purchased 2 day park hopper lightening lane tickets from Costco. I was able to download the tickets to my Disney app. How do I pick which park I am going to start my day at? I know we do this when buying normal tickets online. thank you!

    Hi there, Brittney!

    It sounds like your Disneyland Resort vacation countdown is officially on! You are going to love having Park Hopper tickets with Lightning Lane access in your pocket to really maximize your time in the magic. Let's take a look at your question so we can ensure a smooth carpet ride through those main entrance gates. 

    It sounds like you are a Disneyland pro and already aware that Guests are required to have both a theme park ticket and a theme park reservation to gain entry to the magic. If you've already linked your theme park tickets to your account, you simply need to make your theme park reservation, which will require you to select your starting park for each of the days. You can easily do this in the Disneyland app or on the website. If you are in the app, tap the "+" in the bottom navigation bar, select "Make a Park Reservation", and follow the instructions from there. On the website, hover over the "Tickets & Parks" tab along the top navigation bar and select "Theme Park Reservations". Both methods will take you to the same site to book those reservations. If you have any issues, I would go ahead and call Guest Services, as they will be able to see directly into your account and are always happy to help!

    While you are getting excited for your visit, I recommend keeping your eyes peeled on the Disney Parks Blog for the latest news in and around the parks. And don't forget that with your Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you will also have unlimited access to all of the Disney PhotoPass photos captured on both of your park days. This is a great way to capture all those magical memories! You can even do a little advanced planning by checking out the PhotoPass photographer locations in the app ahead of time. Head to the pinpoint icon in the bottom navigation bar and scroll along the top to "PhotoPass". This will reveal where they will be located on each of your park days. Of course, you'll want to grab a classic Sleeping Beauty Castle shot, but it's good to know other iconic areas or hidden photo spots where they will be stationed. Make sure to ask for a Magic Shot for an extra surprise!

    Brittney, I hope this helps put your mind at ease as you put the finishing touches on your plans. With Park Hopper tickets, you'll have plenty of opportunities to explore and follow the magic wherever it leads you! If you have any more questions, we are always here for you at planDisney. 

    Magic awaits!
