    Hello. Why am I not eligible to buy a lightning lane pass for Monday, December 8th?

    Hi Robert,

    Thanks for visiting planDisney! Hopefully, I can catch you before you head to the parks!

    The Lightning LaneMulti Pass can be purchased either when you initially purchase your park ticket or upon entry into the parks. Once you scan into the parks, you’ll be able to purchase Lightning Lane in the Disneyland app and start making reservations right away.

    You cannot make Lightning Lane reservations until you’ve scanned into the parks, so I recommend arriving early to help make the most of your purchase. Remember, if you are a Magic Key holder, you will receive a 25% discount on the purchase of a Lightning Lane Multi Pass (subject to availability).

    While you’re at the parks, be sure to check out the Festival of Holidays at California Adventure. The foodie guide for the festival was recently released, and there are lots of great snacks and beverages to try. Many guests will be excited about the return of the Sticky Toffee Pudding Macaron; it’s definitely a sweet and shareable treat. I was able to try it last week, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! If you’re looking for something more savory, I recommend the Braised Pork Belly Adobo. The meat was so tender and delicious.

    I hope this information is helpful, Robert! If you have more questions or need help with future trips, feel free to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’d love to share more tips and sprinkle a little pixie dust on your vacation.

    Have a magical visit!
