Welcome to planDisney Ryan! Thank you so much for stopping by with your question. I’m thrilled to help you as you prepare for your upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort vacation! With a 10-day stay ahead of you, it sounds like an unforgettable trip is in the works, how exciting! Staying on Disney property brings so many magical benefits, and it's wonderful that you're planning ahead to make the most of your time in the parks. Let’s take a closer look at how Lightning Lane selections work when you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel.
You can absolutely book
Lightning Lane passes for your entire 10-day stay if you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel or one of the select hotels that participate in this benefit. One of the major perks of staying on Disney property is the early access to Lightning Lane selections, which gives you a great advantage when planning your park days.
When staying at a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotel, guests are eligible to purchase Lightning Lane passes beginning 7 days before the first day of their resort stay. Even better, you are able to book these selections for the full length of your stay, up to 14 days. This means that if you are staying for 10 days, you don’t have to wait and book each day separately. You can plan and secure your Lightning Lane selections for all 10 days starting on that first booking window, a full week prior to your check-in date.
This early access begins at 7:00 AM Eastern Time on the first eligible booking day. It's highly recommended to be ready at that time to ensure you get your preferred experiences and time windows, especially for popular attractions that tend to fill up quickly.
I hope you find this information helpful as you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. Have a magical day!
