Hey Howdy Hey Chris and welcome to planDisney!
It is so exciting to see that your Magical vacation is just a few short weeks away! One thing is for sure when planning a trip to the Walt Disney World Resort, there are always exciting things happening around the resort for trips any time of the year. One of the most recent changes will affect your ability to plan ahead for your trip. This does include Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Thank you for your question about its usage with a split stay during your vacation. I will be happy to navigate you through this situation.
Considering the news of the upcoming changes with Lightning Lanes, the details may be a little fuzzy until we have further clarification from Disney. I will let you know that with direct communication from Disney Cast Members, I was able to hear that Guests staying at multiple Disney Resorts Collection hotels during their stay will be able to make
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass purchases and selections for their entire length of stay. This applies to stays that are continuous and without gaps in them.
Guests staying on sight with Disney Resorts Collection or other qualify hotels can start to purchase and make Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass selections 7 days before their date of arrival. You will also have 14 days in the future to make selections which should cover your whole stay. The window will open at 7:00 AM, 7 days before your arrival date so be sure to act early to get your best shot at the times and attractions you want!
One of the newest attractions that opened this summer is
Tiana's Bayou Adventure. I was able to experience this attraction and let me tell you, you won't want to miss this one! This fun ride through the Bayou will have you clapping and singing along with so many new animal friends you may forget all about the 50-foot drop at the end! It is a super fun ride and a way you may get cooled off as you go down the bayou! This attraction will also be available either by Lightning Lane Multi Pass or by Virtual Queue.
I hope you can plan accordingly and get the Lightning Lanes you are after. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out and let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
