Hiya, Mary!
I'm so honored to welcome you back to planDisney! As one of our most loyal followers, we certainly appreciate you allowing us to help you plan your memory-making at the Most Magical Place on Earth! I see that you're interested in utilizing the Individual Lightning Lane purchases this trip. I do find that making these purchases are the best and easiest way to experience the most popular attractions at the Walt Disney World Resort. If you plan to visit
EPCOT this time around, I have some good news. From May 31, 2022 through August 7, 2022,
Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will be available via Genie+, so you will not be required to make an Individual Lightning Lane purchase for this attraction!
While
Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace is an excellent accommodation, this is not one of the hotels that are eligible for
Individual Lightning Lane purchases at 7 a.m. Only Guests of Disney Resort Hotels,
Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Hotels and
Shades of Green have the perk of making a 7 a.m. Lightning Lane Purchase. You will be able to make your Individual Lightning Lane purchase at the time the park opens on that particular day.
Mary, I'll keep my ears crossed that you're able to snag that Lightning Lane reservation for the ride you have in mind! I hope you have a magical stay!
Hakuna Matata,
Ashley
