Howdy Maureen!
Welcome to planDisney. There’s nothing we love more than planning our next trip to
Walt Disney World or helping others plan theirs. It sounds like you and your family have done your homework and have put together a diabolical plan to get all of the Lightning Lane Multi Pass / Single Passes for your upcoming vacation. I gotta say, I love the strategy, so let's make sure that you have all of your bases covered to ensure success.
Guests staying at a Disney Resort Hotel or other select hotels can purchase
Lightning Lan Multi Pass / Single Passes up to 7 days in advance, starting at 7 AM EST. Based on your arrival date, you can begin booking on Saturday, April 11th. You can absolutely use your booking strategy by having multiple people book on different days. The key is to ensure everyone in your party is linked to your Family & Friends List in the My Disney Experience app. From the home screen, tap on the 3 bars (≡) at the bottom right-hand corner. Scroll down, tap Profile, then tap Family & Friends List. Everyone in your party should appear on the We’re Planning Together list. If not, scroll down and click the Add a Guest button to send them an invitation. I would also ask everyone in your party to double-check that they are connected to each other to ensure there are no hiccups. I also provided the link above to the webpage where you can find more details about Lightning Lane Multi Pass / Single Pass.
A quick tip I would like to share with you is that once you have booked your Lightning Lanes, you can always go back and see if a different time is available if needed. Once you are in the parks, you can keep checking the Tip Board to see if any passes are available for attractions that you might have missed. In my experience, guests frequently cancel passes, creating availability.
Maureen, I hope that your magical strategy gets you all of the Lightning Lanes your heart desires and that your family has an amazing vacation at Walt Disney World. Please stop back by if you have any further questions we can answer here at
planDisney.
See ya real soon,
Robert
