Welcome to
planDisney, Yvette!
Thanks for stopping by to discuss your spring adventure to the
Most Magical Place on Earth. April will be here before you know it, so let's dive right into your question!
I'm glad to hear you're planning to purchase Lightning Lane passes. You'll be arriving towards the end of spring break season in the United States, and the theme parks are busy with families enjoying school holidays. My family and I visit Walt Disney World nearly every spring, and we love the beautiful weather and joyful vibes this time of year. Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass will certainly enhance your trip.
Since all Lightning Lane passes are non-refundable, it's a great idea to have your itinerary locked down before you finalize payment. You can modify your selected experiences after booking, but unfortunately, you can't cancel and receive a refund. I know it's hard to gauge how you'll feel and how much energy you'll have during your stay. My family and I like to plan a resort day to relax and recharge after every two or three park days. On a weeklong trip, we typically hit the theme parks for about five days, with two spent enjoying our resort or making a splash at the water parks.
Yvette, I suggest purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass for the first couple of days of your trip when you know you will visit the theme parks, especially when you'll be at
Magic Kingdom Park. My family used Lightning Lane passes last month and found we got the most for our money here.
Disney's Hollywood Studios is my next pick for the best use of Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and
Avatar Flight of Passage is an excellent choice for Lightning Lane Single Pass. My daughter and I even secured this one while in
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Don't give up if it looks like passes are gone for the day for your preferred attraction; we found same-day availability more than once during our recent vacation. Just keep checking the Tip Board on the My Disney Experience mobile app.
In short, while planning ahead can be advantageous, you can still have a great day full of unforgettable experiences if you forego the purchase of Lightning Lane passes entirely or make last-minute plans. Be flexible, check the app throughout the day, and have fun!
I hope this makes sense, Yvette. Please reach out again if there's anything else we at planDisney can do to help craft the perfect vacation itinerary. You've got a friend in us! Thanks again for visiting us, and have a magical day!
