Hi there, Paul! Welcome to planDisney—I'm so happy you're here! It sounds like you're planning an absolutely spectacular Disneyland Resort vacation, complete with a hotel stay and a
Lightning Lane Multi Pass! You're clearly ready to go the distance for a magical experience!
Let's talk about that Lightning Lane Multi Pass—it's like having your own magic carpet, ready to whisk you away to shorter wait times at some of your favorite attractions! Who's ready for
Indiana Jones Adventure?! While it would be wonderful to magically transform your Multi Pass into a
Lightning Lane Premier Pass, they're actually like two different keys to the magic—each unlocks special experiences, but one can't become the other. Unfortunately, that means upgrading isn't possible, and, just like a magical enchantment, the passes are also non-refundable.
But don't let that dim your sparkle, Paul! Your Multi Pass is still a fantastic way to enjoy a day filled with fun! As soon as you hear that magical chime of your ticket being scanned at either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park, your Lightning Lane adventure begins! Just pop open the
Disneyland mobile app, tap the menu button (those three little lines at the bottom right), and select "Lightning Lane Passes". You'll see a tip board showing the next available return times for all those Multi Pass-eligible attractions. Think of it as your enchanted map to shorter wait times!
And oh boy, are there choices! Will it be a thrilling ride on the
Matterhorn Bobsleds? A spooky visit to the
Haunted Mansion? Perhaps a global adventure on
Soarin' Around the World? Those attractions are all eligible for Lightning Lane Multi Pass, pending availability, of course! To make the most of your Multi Pass, remember that as soon as you zoom through your current Lightning Lane, you can book your next adventure right there in the app! Here’s a pro tip, Paul: After redeeming your Lightning Lane selection, you don’t have to wait to finish riding the attraction to book your next one. You’ll be eligible as soon as you redeem your pass! And even if you haven't used your current Lightning Lane selection, you can book another one two hours after your last booking.
Plus, don't forget that your Multi Pass includes unlimited
PhotoPass digital downloads! Strike a pose with characters, capture those on-ride screams (of joy, of course!), and let the PhotoPass photographers work their magic. You'll have a treasure trove of memories to take home, like having your own personal photographer, Disney-style!
Now, Paul, if you're dreaming of the ultimate Lightning Lane experience with the Premier Pass, it’s still possible to purchase it in addition to your Multi Pass. Think of it as adding an extra sprinkle of pixie dust to your already magical day! There's a very limited number available each day during this pilot phase. You can try to snag one up to two days in advance through the Disneyland app, starting at 7 AM!
I hope this helps you make the most of your enchanting Disneyland Resort visit, Paul! If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Have a truly magical day!
