Hi Mark and welcome back to planDisney.
It’s always extra special to be able to assist a fellow Guest from the UK particularly when you’re just down the road from me, in Manchester.
In my opinion, the key to making the most out of any trip to
Walt Disney World is planning ahead so, I can completely understand you wanting to purchase your
Lightning Lane passes as soon as possible.
Whilst it is possible to
purchase Lightning Lane passes at 7:00 AM Eastern Time, 3 days before the start date of your 14-Day Disney Magic Ticket, for the total number of valid admission days of your ticket, via the US version of the Walt Disney World website, it is not possible to do so via the UK version.
Currently, it is only possible for Guests from the UK to purchase Lightning Lane passes upon arrival in the US.
I wouldn’t worry about this too much. My family rarely purchase any Lightning Lanes when we visit Walt Disney World and always manage to experience all of the attractions and entertainment that we want to, multiple times, during a 2-week trip.
I hope that this has answered your question, Mark. Please feel free to revisit us, here at planDisney, if we can be of any further help with the planning of your trip.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime.
Emma
