    How far in advance may I book park rides and how do I do that

    Hey there, Hi There, Ho There, Irene! You're as welcome as can be at planDisney! 

    It looks like you'll be kicking off your vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth in just a few weeks! How exciting! That definitely calls for a celebration -- WOO HOO!! You're about to create incredible memories, and the magic is right around the riverbend!

    I appreciate that you're in full planning mode, getting ready to schedule all those not-to-miss attractions! Let's dive in and I'll help you get everything set up to make it happen!

    Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels can purchase their Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Lightning Lane Single Pass 7 days before their stay, while other Guests can purchase passes up to 3 days prior to their park visit. These passes give you access to the Lightning Lane entrances at participating attractions, allowing you to bypass the regular standby queues and enjoy shorter wait times. Plus, with the ability to reserve your Lightning Lanes ahead of time, you can plan your park day more efficiently!

    To purchase and schedule your Lightning Lane passes, you'll want to log into your My Disney Experience account right at 7:00 AM ET, when you can begin making your selections. 

    When you purchase a Lightning Lane Pass you'll also receive digital downloads of select attraction photos and videos taken with Disney PhotoPass Service! They're a great way to capture the magic and are always fun to add to your memory book!

    Wishing you a practically perfect in every way vacation, Irene. Please visit us again with any other planning questions. We're always happy to help!

    Magical wishes,
