Hi, David! Welcome to planDisney.
Planning
Lightning Lanes can feel a little intimidating at first, so you've come to the right place with your question. The good news is that Disney has made this much more Guest-friendly than it used to be. Once you understand how that first booking window works, it becomes a lot easier to plan with confidence.
If you have a 14-Day Ticket and you're not staying at a
Disney Resort hotel, you're exactly right about your eligibility window: you can start at 7:00 AM (ET), three days before the first day of your ticket. And here's the key part: you do not have to wait for each individual day's 3-day window. On that first eligible morning, you can purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and make your three selections for all 14 days of your visit in one go, as long as you have
valid admission for those days. Disney allows you to plan multiple days at once, all during that single booking session.
Pro tip: before that 7:00 AM window opens, jot down your priority attractions for each park day so you're not scrambling. Availability can go quickly for popular rides, especially earlier in your trip, so booking your hardest-to-get experiences first is the way to go.
Thanks for choosing to be our Guest, David.
