Hey, howdy, hey, Celina, and welcome to planDisney. With the new Lightning Lane system on the horizon, so many questions need to be answered. Just know you are not alone in the confusion and for planners like me I like that this system brings back familiarity of the discontinued FastPass+ system.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass system begins on July 24, 2024, your check-in day. This means that until that day all Guests will be under the current system. Your window to pre-book Lightning Lanes will start on your check-in date and not before. So what does this mean? At 7:00 AM on July 24, 2024, because you are staying in a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel or
other select hotels, you can book Lightning Lanes for the rest of your Walt Disney World Resort vacation for up to 14 days. Remember, you can purchase both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass to keep you out of the heat and in the attractions with less waiting. Also, you can book
Virtual Queue (limited availability) for other select attractions for even more magic.
Celina, I am excited about your trip as we will be there around the same time experiencing the nostalgia we crave. One bit of advice, drink lots and lots of water. Even though the pop-up rain showers can be a relief, stay hydrated.
Celina, please feel free to
write me back directly with any follow-up questions or for other Disney vacation planning tips.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
