    What happens if my lightening lanes are in the evening and I show up to the park early

    Hi Christina!

    Thanks for racing over to planDisney with a great question!  Since you’re already busy enjoying your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, let’s get your answer faster and quicker than quickly, as my pal Lightning McQueen would say!

    Christina, it sounds like you were able to grab some Lightning Lane passes for later in the day but will now find yourself in the parks earlier.  Unfortunately, you cannot add additional Lightning Lane selections until after your first ride or attraction has been redeemed, but you can always check availability to modify your pre-arrival choices in the My Disney Experience Mobile App.  To do this, you’ll want to select the Lightning Lanes tile from the home screen in your app and then choose the selection you’d like to change.  Modifying your selections is subject to availability, but I’d encourage you to check as plans may change for other Guests, and earlier times could open up!

    As you're looking to make the most of your time in the parks, don’t forget that Virtual Queues are currently available for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom Park and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.  You can first try joining the Virtual Queue at 7:00 AM each morning you visit the parks.  Like Lightning Lane passes, joining the Virtual Queue can be done from your app.  If you miss the queue at 7:00, you can try again at 1:00 PM as long as you are inside the park of the attraction you would like to ride.  Also, as a reminder, you can only hold one Virtual Queue at a time.  

    Christina, I hope this answer finds its way to you before the checkered flag has dropped on your time in the parks!  If you have any other questions, please stop by for another quick pit stop here at planDisney!

    Cheers, 
    Kristi
