Hello there, John!
You'll be visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth in no time! I hope you are having a wonderful time planning your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
Autumn is one of my favorite times to visit. I love the decorations, the weather is usually just a bit cooler and the special experiences such as
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
I am glad you've stopped by to inquire about the new
Lightning Lane passes. Guests staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel and other select hotels are able to begin purchasing their passes 7 days prior to arrival. If you check in on September 17th, you should be able to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Lightning Lane Single Pass on September 10th at 7:00 AM (EST.)
When you log into the
My Disney Experience mobile app and select "Purchase" on the Lightning Lane header on the home page, and then select a date and park, the next page will give you a list of people in your planning party and even tell you the time and date they are eligible to begin purchasing passes for. You can also select "View Eligible Experiences" to see which attractions are included in the multi pass experiences and which group they are part of.
Once you arrive to the park and redeem your first multi pass experience, you'll be able to use the My Disney Experience mobile app again to look for another experience and add it to your plans (subject to availability.) If you have a theme park admission ticket with the park hopper option, you can even select experiences from another park.
Happy planning, John! I hope you have an incredible vacation and please come see us again if there is anything else we are able to assist you with.
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
