Welcome to planDisney, Anthony.
Oh boy, it sounds like you’re gearing up for an incredible adventure at The Most Magical Place on Earth! I'd be happy to help you navigate the ins and outs of purchasing
Lightning Lane Multi Passes for your group.
When it comes to booking those time-saving passes,
Disney Resort hotel Guests (and those staying at select other hotels) can purchase and make their selections up to 7 days in advance for the length of their stay (up to 14 days). However, Guests who aren’t staying at a Disney Resort hotel will need to wait until 3 days before their park visit to buy their Multi Pass. Since each Guest’s booking window is tied to their own reservation status, you won’t be able to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Passes for your entire group 7 days ahead if one member is staying off-property.
But don’t worry! A little planning can go a long way. Once everyone has access to their booking window, you can coordinate selections together to maximize the magic. I recommend setting reminders so that when the 3-day mark arrives, your off-site family member can hop into the
My Disney Experience app and grab their passes as soon as possible.
I hope this helps as you countdown to your magical getaway! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask—after all, the magic is in the details. Have a practically perfect trip!
Mike
