Hiya, Julie! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!
A whole
summer of fun awaits you at Walt Disney World! Before you know it, you’ll be immersed in the magic and enjoying all the Mickey-shaped snacks you want. How exciting!
Since you are staying at an eligible hotel, you will be able to purchase your
Lightning Lane passes 7 days before your arrival. That would be June 11, 2025, based on the dates you’ve provided. And remember, you are also eligible to book Lightning Lane passes for your entire stay (up to 10 days). I don’t see this information in the My Disney Experience app, which is why I always suggest creating an event on your calendar and making a reminder on your mobile device in advance of your booking date. I also will set a special alarm the day before just to be absolutely sure I don’t miss out.
Another benefit to staying at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel and other participating resorts is
Early Entry. This benefit allows you to enter the theme parks 30 minutes before official park opening to enjoy select attractions. Not all attractions are available during Early Entry (and availability is subject to change), but you can find a current list of available attractions
here. Combining Early Entry and Lightning Lane passes is a great way to ensure you get the most out of your Disney day.
Julie, I hope this information helps with your vacation planning. I’m sure you’ll be prepped and ready to go on your Lightning Lane purchase day. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to come right back to planDisney and ask away!
Magical travels!
Matt
