Hey Howdy Hey Claudine!
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with a great question that I'm sure is on the minds of many others. There has been a lot of excitement around the upcoming
release of the new Lightning Lane passes beginning July 24, 2024, and sometimes all of that excitement can lead to a bit of confusion and conflicting information. While the announcement is still relatively fresh, we're learning more and more each day and I'm happy to do my best to help you navigate the new process!
Claudine, Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass can be purchased seven days before your arrival if you stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel and three days before your visit for all other guests via the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. The latest information we have received ahead of the release is that Canadian guests may continue to use the My Disney Experience app after the launch of pre-arrival purchasing and planning for Lightning Lane passes
. With all of the changes, it's important to note that the
Virtual Queue process will not be impacted. Currently, Virtual Queues are available for Tiana's Bayou Adventure, TRON Lightcycle / Run, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. You can first attempt to join the Virtual Queue for one of these attractions at 7:00 AM on the day(s) you are visiting the parks.
Claudine, I don't know about you, but I'm really excited about the new Lightning Lane passes and I hope this information helps as you plan your next visit to Walt Disney World Resort! I would recommend keeping a close eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and official social media channels over the next few weeks for any updates or additional details that are released as the new Lightning Lane passes become available for purchase on July 24.
You've got a friend in me here at planDisney and I hope you stop by to see us again real soon!
Cheers,
Kristi
