    My brother booked our entire group’s lightning lanes before we arrive. Does this mean he has to keep booking them all for our entire trip — or can we book our own day of ? We will be spending time apart in each park to do our own thing.. please and thanks

    Welcome to planDisney, Rebecca! You're just days away from magical memories, thrilling attractions, character hugs, and Mickey-shaped snacks! The excitement must be building up as you count down the final days to your vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort!

    Rebecca, taking advantage of booking Lightning Lane passes in advance of your arrival is a great way to ensure you maximize magic by experiencing some of the most popular attractions and experiences with minimal wait times! When traveling with a group, one member of your party can make all of the pre-arrival selections for Lightning Lane Multi Pass for your entire travel party, or individual members can make their own selections or break off into smaller groups. It sounds like your brother has already chosen your advance selections for you, but you do have the option to modify those selections and also will be eligible to choose additional selections as they are redeemed throughout the day! If you choose to modify what has already been selected, you can modify the experience, time, and/or travel party so if you want to break into smaller groups or experience different attractions, you will be able to do so (subject to availability).

    Remember, Rebecca, that once you've redeemed your first Lightning Lane pass for the day, you can select an additional experience, and if your ticket includes a Park Hopper Option, that next experience can be in any of the four theme parks. Your additional selections do not have to include all of the original members of your party; you will be able to select your party from eligible guests on the My Disney Experience mobile app when you are ready to make your next choice! Additionally, each guest may purchase up to two Lightning Lane Single Pass selections per day; this can also be for any combination of eligible guests and does not have to be the same group as Multi Pass.

    Rebecca, visiting with multiple families who may have different interests can be challenging, so I recommend taking time to plan for some experiences you can all share, like watching a parade, stopping for some PhotoPass pictures at each of the parks, or watching a show together, like my favorite Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage at Hollywood Studios! At the end of the day, there's nothing more magical than fireworks lighting up the skies above as you embrace the moment with your family! I hope you all have an amazing time and find ways to share in the magic! If you have any other questions, please feel free to come back to planDisney any time and let us know! We can't wait to make magic with you!

    See you real soon,
    Alison
