    As of February 2026, can international guests book lightning lanes while not in the country?

    Hiya Julie,

    Welcome to planDisney! I hope you are getting excited about your upcoming vacation to Walt Disney World Resort. I was just reading all about the new changes coming to Animation Courtyard at Hollywood Studios as part of Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, and I, for one, cannot wait for this summer. It is going to be incredible, and I hope that you have fun taking it all in.

    Let’s get to your question, Julie, though. When I look at the website, it says that Guests from the UK cannot book Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Premier, or Single Pass until they arrive in the United States for their vacation. One of my fellow panelists, Emma, who is from the UK, told me that during her recent trip in October, she was able to purchase a Multi Pass and book her experiences 7 days prior to her vacation start, while in the UK however. This is subject to change, and as I mentioned, the website states that you must be in the US to book Lightning Lanes, but I recommend checking to see if you have the same experience as Emma. You never know if things will change by June!

    I hope this was helpful, Julie. As we get closer to your vacation date, you can always come back and check with us for any updates on the Lighting Lane Multi Pass. I’m a big fan of being as prepared as possible, so if we can help with that, we would love to.

    Happy Planning,

    Ashley F.
