    How do I buy a Lightening Lane pass if our 3 day ticket is not active yet? We have a 3-day ticket for Epcot, Hollywood and Animal Kingdom.

    Hi Becky!

    Welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad you get to take advantage of that ticket offer…it’s such a great one!

    You’ll be able to purchase Lightning Lanes for your trip up to 7 days in advance, so it looks like your booking window isn’t open just yet based on your arrival date. 

    If you’re staying at a Disney World resort or select good neighbor hotel, your Lightning Lane booking window for your entire trip will open at 7 AM Eastern, 7 days prior to your check-in date. If you’re staying off property, your booking window will open at 7 AM Eastern, 3 days prior to the start date of your ticket.

    Once your booking window opens, you will be able to purchase your Lightning Lane services by using your My Disney Experience app. On the homepage, there’s one section for Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, and another section for Lightning Lane Premier Pass, depending on which services you’d like to book.  Each park day will be a separate transaction. 

    As you go through the prompts when booking Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass, you’ll choose your attraction return times first, then you’ll purchase the service.

    If you decide to purchase Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you will not need to choose any return times, as you’ll be able to enter any available Lightning Lane once throughout your park day whenever you’d like. 

    I hope that helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to let us know! I hope you have the best trip…we’ll see you real soon!
