Hello there, Jonathan! I’m so glad you've zoomed over to planDisney, like Buzz Lightyear on a mission to Star Command! You've definitely landed in the right spot—we're absolutely delighted to help you navigate the world of
Lightning Lane passes!
If you weren't able to add Lightning Lane magic to your tickets during your initial purchase, don't worry! There are a couple of different ways to include this feature. First, you'll need to decide if you're looking for the grand adventure of the
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, or if you're setting your sights on conquering some of the park's most popular attractions with a
Lightning Lane Single Pass?
If you're opting for the Multi Pass—a fantastic choice for experiencing a wide variety of attractions—you have a couple of options. The first is to try upgrading your existing park ticket before your visit. This might be possible depending on the type of ticket you have. The easiest way to find out is to visit the
park ticket modifications page and select your ticket. If you see the option to upgrade to Lightning Lane Multi Pass, consider it a hidden Mickey—you've found the way! You can complete the upgrade right there.
Your second option is to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass through the
Disneyland mobile app on the day of your visit. I've personally used this method many times, and it's faster than a ride on the Incredicoaster! Just make sure you've already scanned your ticket to enter the park. The option to add the Lightning Lane Multi Pass will only appear in the app after you've entered the park that day.
Now, if you're dreaming of conquering Disneyland Resort's most legendary attractions, like
Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure Park or
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disneyland Park, then the Lightning Lane Single Pass is your golden ticket (pun absolutely intended!). This option is only available within the Disneyland app after you've entered the park with your ticket. Just open the app, tap the menu button, and select "Wait Times & Showtimes". This will open the "Tip Board" where you can view attraction wait times and, most importantly, purchase your Lightning Lane Single Pass. Just scroll to participating attractions and tap the "purchase" button to get started.
As a Lightning Lane Multi Pass enthusiast, I'm thrilled to share some top tips with you, Jonathan. You can make your first attraction selection after entering the park and purchasing Multi Pass. Then, you can select another attraction every two hours. But, here's a pro tip: You can make your next selection immediately after redeeming your current selection, without waiting the full two hours. That means as soon as you've experienced the thrills of Indiana Jones Adventure, you can instantly choose your next adventure. Perhaps a hyperspace jump on Star Tours? I should note that both Lightning Lane pass types are subject to availability, so your best bet is to purchase early.
I hope these tips help you make the most of your Disneyland Resort adventure, Jonathan! Get ready to blast off on a day filled with fun, thrills, and unforgettable moments. Have a fantastically magical trip!
