Hiya Donna,
Welcome back to
planDisney! Before you know it, you will be on your way to your magical vacation during
Cool KID’S SUMMER! I’m so excited for you! Thank you for visiting us for help with your planning questions; we love helping Guests have the best day ever!
Great question about
Lightning Lane selections, Donna. Lightning Lanes are a great way to ensure you can do your must-do attractions and experiences during your visit. I’m not sure if you are staying on site at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, but if you are, you will be able to purchase and make your Lightning Lane selections for the entire length of your stay beginning 7 days prior to your check-in day around 7 am EST. If you are not planning to be a Guest at one of the incredible resort hotels, you can begin making your selections and purchasing 3 days prior to your arrival, around 7 am EST. Please keep in mind, Donna, that you will not be able to book for all the days you are visiting if you are not staying onsite.
I hope this was helpful, Donna. Before I let you go, if you are new to Lightning Lanes, they can definitely be a little different. The great news is some of my panelist pals just put together a video on the ins and outs of Lightning Lanes! Take a look, and if you have any questions, please come back and see us. We would be happy to help you in any way that we can. Have a magical vacation!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
