Hi Sam! Welcome back to planDisney!
I'm happy to hear that you have begun planning for your
Walt Disney World vacation in 2026! With bookings now available, it's great to hear that you have already locked in your dates and can begin planning your ultimate itinerary.
Purchasing
Lightning Lane Multi-Pass for select days during your stay is the perfect way to maximize your time at the parks. This service allows you to bypass the standby queue on select attractions and create minimal wait times throughout your day. Unless you are staying at a
Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels, you will need to wait until three days before your arrival to begin making your purchases. While Guests who are staying onsite will receive a slight benefit, you'll still have plenty of options when it comes to making your selections. Although there may not be as many time slots available for the more popular attractions, you should still be able to find something that suits your needs. Additionally, beginning three days before your arrival, you can purchase a Multi-Pass or Single Pass for the total number of valid admission days indicated on your ticket. This will give you an advantage on the days toward the end of your stay.
Sam, while there are many new and exciting experiences coming to the parks, there are plenty of fun and thrilling attractions that await.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has everything you could want in a ride, including multiple thrills and immersive storytelling. The same goes for TRON Lightcycle / Run and many others scattered throughout the parks. If thrills are what you are seeking, you'll find plenty of them during your park days.
I hope you have a wonderful time during your visit next year!
