Jambo, Crystal!
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for visiting us with an excellent
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. In just a few short days, you'll be headed off on an exciting adventure to The Most Magical Place on Earth! I'm sure you're counting down the hours until your wild and wonderful journey. Before you begin your trek, let's chat about how to maximize the value of
Lightning Lane Multi Pass for your travel party!
Crystal, Lightning Lane passes are the best way for Guests to ensure access to popular attractions while minimizing wait times. This is so important when visiting the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks because it seems there are endless things to see and do! With Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Guests can pre-select up to three attraction return windows before their arrival. (Guests with theme park tickets only can
purchase passes up to three days before their first ticketed day, while Guests with Disney Resort hotel reservations can purchase passes up to seven days before their check-in date.) Generally, I like to book my first Lightning Lane pass for as early in the day as possible, because Guests are eligible to book another (fourth) selection as soon as they've redeemed their first attraction selection. At the time of writing, Guests must make all of their initial selections within the same theme park, so you'd want to make your third selection for Disney's Hollywood Studios or change all of your selections to Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park (pending availability). Once you've
redeemed one of your selections, you'll be able to make additional selections in any of the other theme parks since your tickets include the
Park Hopper option!
You should be able to modify your existing selections or add a third selection now, Crystal (pending availability). You're able to make changes from the time of purchase up until the time of use, as long as selections are still available! To modify your selections, just tap the "
Lightning Lane Passes" tile in the My Disney Experience mobile app and follow the onscreen prompts.
Crystal, I hope you have a roaring good morning at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park on your upcoming visit! I can't imagine a more perfect place to start off a brand new year. If I might make a breakfast recommendation, perhaps you could check out the new morning menu at
Satu'li Canteen! (I really enjoyed the Cinnamon French Toast on a recent visit.) If you have any additional questions about your adventure-filled day before you head out on safari, you're always welcome to revisit us here at
planDisney. We're always happy to help our fellow Guests experience the magic of the Disney Parks!
Asante sana,
Lauren
