A warm planDisney welcome to you, Carol. We're so glad you stopped by to share this question with us. It won't be long until you will be walking down Main Street, U.S.A. under the twinkling lights so let's make sure you're ready for your visit.
I'm so excited to hear that you will be visiting the Disneyland Resort with a group. Instead of unlinking the tickets from your account, you can have each person add their own ticket to their MyDisney account in the
Disneyland app. Simply open the app and tap the "☰" to open the menu. Next, tap the "My Tickets & Passes" tile followed by the "+" in the upper right corner. Finally, tap "Link Tickets & Passes" where you can use the "Camera" function to quickly have each person scan the barcode of their ticket into their app. Now everyone has access to their own ticket to come and go throughout the day as they please.
When it comes to
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and making selections, you will be able to book these for your entire group as they are all linked to your MyDisney account. There will be a screen where you will select your party and you can choose any combination of the members of your party. Additionally, each person who has their own ticket in the Disneyland app can make their own Lightning Lane selections for themselves as well. And for those in your party who have a
MagicBand+, they can use their band (instead of their ticket) to scan in at the Lightning Lane entrance.
You can make your first Lightning Lane selection as soon as your tickets have been scanned and you've entered the theme park. I like to set an alarm on my phone to remind me of when I can make my next selection to get the most out of Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Keep in mind that you also get unlimited
Disney PhotoPass digital downloads from the day. The
Holidays at the Disneyland Resort just kicked off this weekend and the parks are looking festive in their holiday best so there are plenty of great spots to snap photos. A must for me is in front of either of the Holiday Trees in the parks, but I think the one in Disney California Adventure Park is my favorite.
Carol, I hope this is helpful as you're getting ready for your visit. Please come back to ask any other questions that you might be curious about. Here's wishing you a very merry visit to the Happiest Place on Earth!
