Hiya, Megan! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm so happy to hear that you'll be making the most of your visit to the
Disneyland Resort by purchasing
Lighting Lane Multi Pass and/or Lighting Lane Single Pass. As you mentioned, your little one and all Guests under 3 years of age do not require a
theme park admission ticket. When it comes to Lighting Lanes, as long as your little Mouseketeer is with Guests who purchased that ticket add-on and they meet the height requirement, they can enter the Lighting Lane with the rest of the party!
Megan, another tip to maximizing your day is to arrive as soon as the theme parks open for the day in order to hit some standby queues before more Guests arrive. I also like to use the
Disneyland Mobile App to filter rides and attractions by height requirement and have my little ones help choose which ones we ride. From the App home screen, click the Pin icon on the bottom left of the screen and this opens the Disneyland Resort map. From here, select "Filter" at the top left of the screen and then you can filter rides based on height, thrill factor, age, and more! You can use this trick for both
Disneyland Park and
Disney California Adventure Park.
I hope this information helps, Megan. Please
let me know if you have any other planning questions. It would be my pleasure to help!
See ya in the parks,
Melissa
