Hi there, Caitlin, and welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for submitting your question to us and how exciting that your trip to the Disneyland Resort is coming up so soon!
It's admirable how eager you are to join the Resistance in their fight against the First Order. Their base of operations on Batuu is always looking for good people to join the cause on
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. However, I'm afraid that you'll have to wait just a bit longer. The ability to book a Lightning Lane Return Time before your arrival is a feature exclusive to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. At the Disneyland Resort, you'll be able to purchase and book your first
Lightning Lane Single Pass as soon as you enter Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure (park entry requirements apply). So if you're still itching to join the Resistance, just purchase a Lightning Lane Single Pass first thing in the morning after entering the Theme Parks (you'll need a Park Hopper if you're entering Disney California Adventure Park first) and pick your Return Time!
You've got great timing, Caitlin, because the
Holiday Season will have just started and
Tiana's Bayou Adventure will have just opened! If you're interested in being among the first Guests to experience this attraction, it will be available via Lightning Lane Multi Pass or
Virtual Queue. If your reservation is for Disneyland Park, you'll be able to join the first virtual queue assignment at 7 AM that day from wherever you are! Make sure you have the
Disneyland Mobile App on your phone.
Caitlin, I hope this was useful information for you. Please write back to us anytime you have more questions. We're always happy to help and I hope you have the most magical trip to The Happiest Place on Earth! We'll see ya real soon!
Wishing You a Great, Big, Beautiful Tomorrow!
