How to Maximize Your Lightning Lane Multi Pass Experience

Making the most out of Genie Plus involves strategic planning and a few insider tips. Here’s how to elevate your Disneyland adventure:

1. Purchase Early and Plan Ahead

Lightning Lane Multi Pass can be added to your ticket at the time of purchase or on the day of your visit. The price may increase if purchased after entering the park.  For the best experience, it’s recommended to add it early and start selecting your first Lightning Lane as soon as you enter the park.

2. Prioritize Popular Attractions

Use your Lightning Lane Multi Pass to book Lightning Lane passes for the most popular rides first. Attractions like Space Mountain at Disneyland and Guardians of the Galaxy as well as WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure at Disney California Adventure tend to have longer wait times, so snagging a Lightning Lane pass for these should be a priority.

3. Keep an Eye on Return Times

After booking a Lightning Lane, monitor the app for the next available booking time. You can make another Lightning Lane selection either after redeeming your current pass or two hours after your last booking, whichever comes first.

4. Utilize the Tip Board

The Disneyland app features a Tip Board that provides real-time updates on wait times, Lightning Lane availability, and more. Use this to adjust your plans on the fly and optimize your day.

5. Don’t Miss Out on PhotoPass Opportunities

With unlimited Disney PhotoPass downloads, make sure to take advantage of photo opportunities throughout the parks. From iconic castle shots to candid moments with characters, these are memories you’ll cherish forever.
