Hi Kristin! Welcome back to planDisney!
Oh boy! Let the countdown begin! You're just about a week away until you arrive for a magical Disney vacation! Let's dive into your question and help you get set up for your stay.
I have great news for you, Kristin! Your nephew will have access to purchase
Lightning Lanes three days in advance, just as you do with an Annual Pass. In fact, if you both happen to be staying at a Disney Resorts hotel, you can begin booking Lightning Lanes seven days ahead of your arrival. This should make planning easy since you are both on the same timeline.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass will allow you to book up to three select attractions before you arrive. Once you begin using your selections, you can make additional choices as the day goes on. Lightning Lane Single Pass is currently being utilized by a few of the popular attractions across the theme parks. These can be booked in advance as well and will require individual payment for each attraction.
Since he opted for the
Park Hopper Option, this will allow you both to freely hop from one park to another throughout your trip. Park hopping creates the most flexibility with your stay and allows you to maximize your time at the parks. If you're craving a caramel butter bar from
Karamell-Küche in EPCOT but you are on the Planet of Batuu in Disney's Hollywood Studios, you can hop on the Disney Skyliner and head straight to Germany for this special treat!
Kristin, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay! Have a magical vacation!
See ya real soon!
