    Hi I bought my vacation package through Disney World and am staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge from 30th Oct plus 4 day park admissions from 31 October. This is all seen on the app. Is there any “linking” to do before I can buy LL passes on 23Oct

    Jambo, Colin! You are about to set out on an amazing adventure. Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of my favorites. If there is anything more magical than seeing a giraffe outside your hotel window, I've yet to find it!

    I'm so glad you stopped by planDisney with this question to make sure you are all set to buy Lightning Lane passes. It sounds like you have a handle on all the vacation travel planning. With just over a week to go, it's time for those last touches on the plans.

    As you know, since you are staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you are eligible to buy passes starting at 7:00 a.m. Eastern on October 23. To do this, you need a resort reservation and theme park tickets for each Guest. Since you bought a vacation package, you should be all set. 

    When it's time, open the My Disney Experience app and select "Purchase" on the Lightning Lane tile. You will be prompted to choose the date, theme park, eligible Guests and attractions. Each day you choose to enjoy the convenience of a Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass is done separately, but you can do each one on the morning of the 23rd.

    If you have any challenges, you can use the chat function on the app or call App and MagicBand Support for immediate help. Hopefully, you'll be singing "Hakuna Matata" as the morning leaves you with no worries. It should be as easy as a savanna breeze!

    And should you have any other questions, like "Can you tell me about booking a bounceback offer?" come see us again at planDisney. We're totally wild about helping!

     See 'Ya Real Soon!
