Welcome to planDisney, Robin! It looks like you'll be starting off the new year at the Most Magical Place on Earth - be sure to take a look at all of the exciting perks that Disney Resort hotel guests can expect in 2025 - it's going to be the most magical way to begin a new year of Disney fun!
Robin, the new
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass system allows guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel to make advance selections up to 7 days in advance for the duration of their visit. Because the
prices do fluctuate by date and attraction, there isn't a way to know the exact cost you will be paying until the day your booking window opens. While this may not be the magical answer you hoped to hear, I do have a suggestion to help you plan ahead - you can see daily prices on the
My Disney Experience mobile app, so I recommend checking periodically in the days leading up to your booking window to see the range of prices so you will know about what to expect and to budget for this product. In looking at the prices over the last few weeks preparing for my own trip, I noticed they stayed within a range, which gave me a good idea of what my cost would be when the time came to make my purchase! When it's time to make your selections, you will see the prices for each park on the selected days before finalizing your purchase, so you can decide if the price is right.
When making your selections, remember that certain
attractions and experiences are included with Lightning Lane Multi Pass at each park, and other attractions are only available through Lightning Lane Single Pass. Also keep in mind that all attractions do still offer a standby queue or a
Virtual Queue, so if you do not purchase this product, you will still have a chance to experience all of the attractions throughout the theme parks. I recommend deciding ahead of time which attractions are your highest priority attractions so you'll be ready to grab those first!
Robin, I hope that you find Lightning Lanes help to make the most of your time at the theme parks! I'm excited to test out this product for the first time later this week, but the booking process was quick and easy and I was able to get everything I wanted! Since I'm
park hopping, I opted for early times at my first theme park and will try to make additional selections at the other theme parks once I've redeemed my initial selections! Here's to both of us making magic and reducing our wait times! If you have any other questions as you finalize your plans, come on back to
planDisney and let us know! We hope to see you again real soon!
Magic and Memories,
Alison
