Lightning Lane Premier Pass has officially landed in Disneyland Resort.
Disneyland
We tested it out on its first day in Disneyland, and learned some VALUABLE lessons that mean we won’t make these same mistakes again!
Both Disneyland and Disney World threw us for a spin earlier this month when they announced the release of Lighting Lane Premier Pass for both coasts.

This is in addition to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass currently available at both resorts but work differently from one another. Premier Pass also has different rules depending on which coast you’re visiting, but in Disneyland, it’s open for all guests willing to pay $400 a day, so we knew we had to try it out to tell you what we thought — here’s just how fast you can get through EVERYTHING included in Lightning Lane Premier Pass in Disneyland.
There is now a new Lightning Lane option at Disneyland!

Over the summer, Genie+ transformed into Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Individual Lightning Lane became Lightning Lane Single Pass. This new system allows you to book Lightning Lanes at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure through the Disneyland app. Unlike Disney World, you cannot book Lightning Lanes in advance. If you are tired of constantly having to be on your phone to book Lightning Lanes, soon there will be a third option called Lightning Lane Premier Pass, and here is how you can book them!
We’re no strangers to seeing celebrities in the Disney parks.
Cars Land in Disney California Adventure
Whether they’re filming something special, like a TV show episode, holiday special, or commercial, or just because they’re visiting the parks with family and friends, we’ve certainly seen our fair share of well-known individuals in the parks. And if you’re a big fan of old Disney Channel shows or Hulu’s popular Only Murders in The Building show, you’ll love to know who was just seen in Disneyland!
An all-new Avatar experience is coming to Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort!
Disney California Adventure
In August 2024, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro made a surprising announcement at D23 2024: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Okay… he actually dropped a TON of surprising announcements, and one of them is the Avatar expansion at Disney California Adventure at the Disneyland Resort! And that, of course, begs the question: When will this new Avatar section open? [Read more…]
We know, we know, it’s only September, but we can’t lie — we’re SUPER excited for the holiday season in the Disney World and Disneyland parks!
Disneyland
We’ve already got our tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom and Jollywood Nights in Hollywood Studios, but if you’ll be over on the West Coast for the holiday season, never fear! Disney recently announced all the offerings that will be coming back to Disneyland Resort this year for the holidays, including the beloved Festival of Holidays!
Oogie Boogie Bash is finally HERE, friends!
Halloween at Disney California Adventure
We couldn’t be more excited to experience all the exciting exclusive entertainment, snacks, and more that is only available during this event and time of year. The entire event sold out in a matter of a few weeks — THAT’S how popular this event is, and we have a feeling it’s only about to get MORE iconic. The entertainment at this after hours event is top-notch — here’s everything you can experience at the event this year!
Disney dropped some HUGE park news at the beginning of August at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event and a lot of it was about new rides, new lands, and new expansions.
Disney California Adventure
For example, Villains Land and Cars rides were announced for Magic Kingdom in Disney World, as well as a new Monsters, Inc. land in Hollywood Studios. Disney also announced new Avatar and Marvel attractions coming to Disney California Adventure. However, Disney did NOT tell us when the new California Adventure attractions would be getting added to the park. But now, we know construction on the new Avengers Campus attractions will be starting sooner rather than later!
Ready to be chillin’ like a villain at this year’s Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney California Adventure? We can’t wait either! And this year, you can meet two new villains at this SUPER popular Halloween event in Disneyland!
Villains Grove
Earlier this month, Disney teased that this year’s exclusive Halloween event would be welcoming not one but TWO new villains to join the party, and the teasers gave us several clues. Now, we’re CONFIRMING which new frightful friends you’ll be able to meet! Who’s ready for some spooky Oogie Boogie Bash fun?!
