Hiya, Cynthia!
I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to planDisney, and I truly appreciate you stopping by with your question! It looks like you're gearing up for a springtime adventure at The Most Magical Place on Earth — you must be so excited! I know that navigating
Lightning Lanes can feel a bit overwhelming, but Hakuna Matata — it means no worries! That's what I'm here for. So, let's dive in and explore everything you need to know about Lightning Lanes to make your trip as smooth and magical as possible!
Guests staying at
Disney Resorts and other select hotels have the advantage of purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Lightning Lane Single Pass up to 7 days in advance of their stay for the length of their stay (up to 14 days). All other Guests are welcome to purchase their Lightning Lane passes up to 3 days before their park visit.
No matter when you qualify to purchase, you can make your Lightning Lane pre-selections and choose your arrival windows starting promptly at 7:00 AM Eastern Time on the day you're eligible to book.
I hope you are planning to set some time aside to enjoy the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival during your visit! The
Disney Parks Blog recently released a Foodie Guide, and my mouth is watering just looking at all the yummy treats! I'm particularly eyeing the Peach Cobbler available at
CommuniCore Hall.
I want to mention one more thing before I go. Did you know that Disney Resort Guests receive
complimentary water park admission on their check-in day in 2025?
Typhoon Lagoon will be open starting May 1st, and I cannot think of a better way to splash into your vacation than sliding down
Crush 'N' Gusher!
Cynthia, I'm wishing you the most magical visit at the most magical place! Please visit us again with any other questions — we're always happy to help!
See you real soon!
