Hey there, William!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks for stopping by with an excellent
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. Your family is in for an exciting adventure very soon! I'm here to help you plan for a practically perfect vacation. Let's chat about how to maximize the magic in the theme parks during your upcoming getaway!
William,
Lighting Lane passes are a great way to queue up the theme park thrills while minimizing your time actually queueing up. Disney Resort hotel Guests can purchase Lightning Lane passes beginning
seven days before their scheduled check-in date, and other Guests can start securing these passes up to three days before they visit the theme parks. With Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you'll be able to select up to three initial return times for popular attractions in one theme park. I recommend connecting with each member of your family via your
Family & Friends List before it's time to purchase passes. This will ensure that you can include one another in plans and return times. As soon as any family member has redeemed their first selection, they'll be eligible to book another return time using the
My Disney Experience mobile app! For that reason, I encourage you to try to book your first return time early in the day. This will enable you to maximize the attractions you can experience throughout the day!
Once your family members are all connected in
My Disney Experience, you'll be able to make plans on behalf of one another. That means that if your group will be sticking together for each attraction, once everyone in your party has "tapped in" at an attraction, anyone in your group will be able to select the next experience on behalf of all eligible group members! I'm typically working on selecting my family's next return time as soon as I've entered the Lighting Lane entrance for one attraction. We always enjoy seeing how many attractions and experiences we can fit into one fun-filled day!
William, I hope this information helps your family to prepare for its enchanting escape next month. I'm wishing you a magical and memorable vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort! If you have any additional questions about your upcoming holiday, you can always revisit us here at

See ya real soon,
Lauren
