    Hello, I will be visiting both parks in July. I would like to add lightning lane passes for two of the days (I for Disneyland, 1 for CA Adventure). Do I have to wait until July to get those, or can I do that well ahead or the trip. Thank you.

    Hi, Russell, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited you have a visit to the Happiest Place on Earth coming up this summer during Disneyland's 70th Celebration! What an absolute perfect time to go as Disney went all out on this party of the decade! The Muppets even have a nighttime show right before World of Color Happiness! and it's everything we hoped it would be.

    Thanks for stopping by with this great question about Lightning Lanes! My family loves to zip past those standby lines on popular attractions, so we can experience more on our visit to Disneyland. I love where your head is at!

    If you're purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass in advance with a multi-day ticket, it will need to be included for every day of that ticket, at the time of purchase. Or if you'd prefer to only have Lightning Lane Multi Pass on a particular day (or two), you'll need to wait until you get to the park and purchase it on the day of your visit. To do this click the "Purchase" button in the green "Lightning Lane Multi Pass" ribbon on the home screen of the Disneyland app. You can't miss it. Since the passes are subject to limited availability, I would make sure to arrive to the main gate at least 30 minutes before park opening. (This is also just a good idea to make sure you're maximizing your magical day!)

    Another benefit of Lightning Lane Multi Pass is unlimited Disney PhotoPass digital downloads included on the days you have Lightning Lane Multi Pass! Capture picture-perfect memories from friendly Cast Member photographers or fun shots from select attractions. Our family is so thankful to have these, so I recommend taking advantage of this service on the days you have Lightning Lane Multi Pass!

    If you're hoping to experience either (or both!) Radiator Springs Racers at California Adventure Park or Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland Park using Lightning Lane Single Pass, these can only be purchased on the day of your visit, as well.

    I hope this information has been helpful for your planning, Russell. If you have any other questions that come up, or you'd like me to share some of my Lightning Lane strategies to maximize the magic, please don't hesitate to ask me another question! You've got a friend in me!

Meet the Panelist: McCayla, Washington

Hello from the Pacific Northwest! I'm McCayla, a wife and mom dreaming of adventure in the great wide somewhere, yet also completely content watching Toy Story from the couch. My love of Disneyland began as a little girl on Peter Pan's Flight and only grows with each visit. But even when I'm not physically at the Happiest Place on Earth, I truly feel that same joy when I can help others (YOU!) experience the magic of Disneyland Resort too.
