    Can my daughter save my credit card in her account to purchase Lightning Lane passes for all members of our party?

    Hello there Ellen, and welcome to planDisney!

    Congratulations on planning an upcoming visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth. Woo hoo! You've got some wonderful vacation memories heading your way. And using Lightning Lane Passes is an excellent idea to maximize your time in the parks. My family loves this option for skipping the stand-by line on some of our favorite attractions. It allows us to pack so much more into our Disney Day!

    If you've got a tech-savvy daughter who is ready to make those Lightning Lane purchases for your entire party as soon as your eligibility window opens up, I think that's an excellent strategy. With your blessing, she can add your credit card as the payment type in her My Disney account inside the My Disney Experience app. Have your daughter go to the "≡" menu icon in the lower right, scroll down to "Account - Profile", then select "Payment Method". After you choose "Add a payment" and enter your credit card details, it will be available to use when she purchases your party's Lightning Lane passes. Ka-chow!

    As a reminder, Disney Resort guests are able to purchase Lightning Lane passes starting 7 days prior to their arrival, beginning at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time, for the duration of their stay. Offsite guests can purchase Lightning Lane passes 3 days prior to arrival. I would prepare ahead of time by deciding what days, parks, and experiences you are interested in! Also make sure she has everyone in your party added in her Family & Friends list. That way she'll be able to select those guests and add them to the Lightning Lane purchase.

    One last tip! If you plan to purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, I always tell my friends to select at least one attraction with an early return time. As soon as you tap in to that attraction, you can immediately open up the My Disney Experience app and select another Lightning Lane pass. Plus, these same day passes are not restricted by any tiers!

    I hope this helps, and that you have a wonderful time at Walt Disney World! Please visit me again at planDisney with any additional questions you may have.

    The magic is calling!
