Hi, Courtney!
From one Courtney to another, welcome to
planDisney, and thank you for stopping by to ask us a question as you plan your visit to
The Happiest Place on Earth. Hooray…your trip is just around the pixie-dusted corner!
As you may have heard,
Lightning Lane Premier Pass gives each Guest who purchases it one-time access to each available Lightning Lane experience (including Multi Pass and Single Pass) in a theme park whenever it is convenient throughout the day without scheduling a return window in advance. Lightning Lane Premier Pass is currently available in very limited quantities to Guests who have a valid
theme park ticket and
theme park reservation. It can be purchased via the
Disneyland mobile app up to two days in advance of your scheduled theme park day.
You actually don’t have to have the
Park Hopper option to be eligible to purchase
Lightning Lane Premier Pass, but if you have a 1-park ticket, your pass can only be used in that one theme park instead of both. The price of the pass remains the same whether you are using it in one or two parks. No, you do not have to be a Guest of a
Disneyland Resort Hotel to purchase this pass. (Please note that the policy differs at the
Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in Florida, where Lightning Lane Premier Pass is currently only available to those staying at a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels.)
I hope this answers your question, Courtney, and that you have a practically perfect vacation! Please don’t hesitate to
come by again for more answers and advice as your trip approaches.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
