Welcome to planDisney, Stephanie! It's so exciting that you found us here on our little corner of the internet!
The new
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass services are pretty exciting for anyone who wants to have a few of the attractions they want to experience already booked before even entering one of the theme parks (subject to availability). They get you access to shorter wait times through the Lightning Lane entrances, freeing up more time to experience all of the other magical offerings at the theme parks. Go get some
snacks, enjoy a
table-service or
quick-service meal,
shop for your next favorite souvenir, slow down and relax, or all of the above. Plus, with Lightning Lane Multi Pass, once you've redeemed a Lightning Lane reservation, you can use the
My Disney Experience mobile app to book another qualifying attraction (subject to availability).
When staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, you currently can purchase
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Lightning Lane Single Pass and pre-book your selections 7 days ahead of your arrival date
for the length of your stay (up to 14 days). Since you'd only be staying at a qualifying hotel for one night, you would be eligible to purchase these services and book your reservations 7 days ahead
only for your check-in day and your checkout day. You would then be able to purchase the service(s) and pre-book your Lightning Lanes for the rest of your theme park ticket 3 days ahead.
Always keep in mind that the Walt Disney World Resort offers resort hotels for every budget.
Value Resort Hotels currently offer the same 7-day perk when it comes to Lightning Lane reservations as both
Moderate Resort Hotels and
Deluxe Resort Hotels, for a much more budget-friendly price. Not only that, but you can currently also enter any of the 4 theme parks 30 minutes early each day with
Early Theme Park Entry, getting a head start over Guests not staying at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel. And that headstart can often be key to riding 1 or 2 attractions with usually much lower wait times before the rest of the park Guests are allowed to enter! And you'll want to check out the
Special Offers page of the website to see if there are any deals or discounts that apply to your upcoming stay for some extra savings!
Stephanie, enjoy your October visit to the resort, and be sure to explore all of the seasonal offerings that will be available for the
Halloween season! If you have any other questions,
don't hesitate to reach out again!
Just because I cannot see it, doesn’t mean I can’t believe it,
Matt
