Hi Brandi!
Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel have the wonderful perk of
purchasing Lightning Lane access 7 days before your check-in date, allowing you to plan ahead and make the most of your vacation. Since your check-in date is 12/11, you'll be able to make your purchase and select experiences starting on 12/4.
Here’s how to make the most of your Lightning Lane planning:
Before your purchase window opens, explore the attractions that offer Lightning Lane access. Consider which experiences are must-dos for your group, like the thrills of
Space Mountain or the magic of
Frozen Ever After.
The window to purchase Lightning Lane access begins at 7:00 AM Eastern Time on 12/4. Planning ahead and logging in early will help ensure the best availability. Disney Resorts Collection hotel guests can make Lightning Lane selections for their entire stay up to 14 days.
Plans can change, but Disney’s app allows you to modify your Lightning Lane selections if needed. Flexibility is key however remember when modifying selections, availability will depend on a variety of factors.
Lastly, take advantage of
Early Theme Park Entry to enjoy even more of the magic. We always try to enter the Theme Parks early and head right over to our most important “must-do” attraction. We make this must-do our first priority and then are able to get started redeeming our Lightning Lane selections after.
With a little preparation, you’ll be ready to unlock shorter wait times and experience the best of Disney’s magic. If you have any other questions or need more tips for your visit, don’t hesitate to ask! Every magical moment begins with a little planning.
