Hi Jeffrey,
I'm so glad to hear from you again, and your questions are always fantastic! Regarding the
Lightning Lane passes, here's how it works: the timing for when you're eligible to purchase them depends on whether you're staying at a
Disney Resort Collections hotel or not.
If you're staying onsite at one of the Disney Resort hotels, you can purchase your Lightning Lane passes starting 7 days in advance of your arrival. However, if you're staying offsite, you'll be able to purchase them 3 days in advance of your park visit.
Once you've purchased the Lightning Lane Multipass, here's how to use it: You'll be able to choose Lightning Lane selections for attractions and arrival windows in advance. After you've used your first Lightning Lane selection, you can immediately book the next available one and continue doing this all day long (based on availability!) Make sure you use the My Disney Experience app to manage your selections and see which attractions are available.
For the Lightning Lane Single pass, this will allow you to skip the line for a specific attraction at a designated time, which you’ll choose when booking.
I hope that helps answer your questions and makes your trip planning smoother. It sounds like your magical adventure is fast approaching. Hope to see you back here again real soon!
