Hi there, Janet!
Thank you for stopping by planDisney. It sounds like you love Disney vacations as much as I do! My family frequently visits both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. We like debating our favorite attractions in each park, although it is tough to beat Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT! It is my favorite attraction!
It looks like you are visiting Disneyland Resort in December 2024. On July 24, 2024,
Lightning Lane Multi Pass with replace the current program to access Lighting Lanes. Purchasing, selecting, and redeeming Lightning Lane passes will operate exactly the same way as it does now in Disneyland Resort (this is not the case at Walt Disney World Resort, which has new features). The service is just getting an updated name at Disneyland Resort. Guests who purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass after July 24, 2024 will most likely continue to access unlimited
Disney PhotoPass digital downloads from the day. This includes select dining locations, attractions, and more! It is one of my favorite perks! I am usually the person taking photos of my family, and I love having a Disney PhotoPass photographer take pictures of the entire family.
If you did not want to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you could consider buying
Disney PhotoPass+ One Day. This allows you to receive all of your available digital Disney PhotoPass photos from the day in addition to select attraction and dining photos. However, I recommend purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass to access shorter wait times for many attractions and presumably obtain your photos! We use Lightning Lanes during every trip to Disneyland Resort!
Janet, I am glad you sent your question to planDisney. We hope to see you real soon!
Magic Happens!
Jen
