Hiya, Jillian!
Welcome to
planDisney, where we love helping Guests like you make their Disney vacation dreams come true. We hope that with a bit of our knowledge and experience, we can help you plan a Disney holiday that is practically perfect in every way. I am glad you asked about purchasing
Lightning Lane passes for your
Walt Disney World holiday and it is my pleasure to assist you with an answer.
If you are a
Disney Resort hotel Guest,
Lightning Lane passes can be purchased 7 days in advance of your stay for the length of your stay (up to 14 days). Even though your tickets won’t yet be activated, if they are linked to your Disney account, you can purchase those Lightning Lane passes 7 days before the first day of your resort stay. Now, there is one caveat to this. You must be in the U.S. when you book your Lightning Lane passes, otherwise, you will have to wait until you arrive. If you are not a Disney Resort hotel Guest, you can purchase Lightning Lane passes up to 3 days before your first park visit.
Jillian, I hope this information helps you make a plan of attack for booking those Lightning Lane passes and you have an unforgettable
Walt Disney World holiday. If you have any further questions or need more assistance, please do not hesitate to return here to planDisney. We love it when our Pals drop by for a visit!
Happy Planning!
Angie
