Hey Howdy Hey Lacey and welcome to planDisney
The recent release of
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass is a great way to get more of your planning done before you arrive. This will give you more opportunities to plan your perfect day and a little more time for sleeping in during your vacation! Let's talk about when you can purchase and book for your particular scenario.
Lacey, the big thing that would help to answer your question is the specifics of your reservation. If everyone shares just one reservation, you can make the purchase and selections at the same time for everyone. If you and the other members of your party arrive on different days and have separate reservations, the true 7-day mark will be different for each party. Once everyone is in their 7-day window or less, you can purchase and book your Lightning Lane options.
While Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass allow you to book Lightning Lanes before you arrive, the process for
Virtual Queues is still the same. Virtual Queues are available for some of the more popular attractions such as Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT and TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom. You will have the option to get into the queue starting at 7:00 AM and then again at 1:00 PM. For the queue in the afternoon, you need to be inside the park of the attraction you want to experience to get into the queue.
I hope this information helped so you can better plan your vacation. If you have any other questions please let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
