Welcome to
planDisney, Robert!
Thanks for coming by to discuss your next
Walt Disney World adventure. I'd be thrilled to help answer your ticket question. Let's get going!
To prepare to secure
Lightning Lane passes at the beginning of your advance purchase window, select a start date for your tickets that aligns with the beginning of your trip. Starting seven days from your first check-in date, you can buy Lightning Lane passes for the duration of your stay for all days your ticket is valid, up to 14 days. This assumes you have booked three room-only reservations rather than vacation packages. If you reserved a vacation package that bundled your tickets with one of the resort stays, make sure your tickets are included with your first resort stay.
I hope that clears things up! As your plans unfold, remember that starting in 2025, guests will enjoy complimentary access to a
Walt Disney World Water Park for each day they check in at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. Making a splash at a water park is the perfect way to chill out between theme park days. It's one of my favorite ways to
cool off during Olaf's favorite season! To take advantage of
this splashtacular perk, simply scan your
MagicBand, plastic ticket card, or
mobile device at the water park entrance on an eligible day.
Thanks so much for sending your question to planDisney, Robert. Please reach out again if there is anything we can do to make your summer escape even more memorable. You've got a friend in us!
Wishing you a magical day,
Betsy
