    Hi, A question regarding Lightning Lane Multi Pass. I’m staying offsite at a partner hotel, and have a dated Park Hopper 14 day ticket starting on October 11. When could I start booking lightning lanes for the entire period of the trip - Oct 11 to 25th

    Hi Thomas, and welcome to planDisney. A 14-day Disney vacation sounds like a dream come true! Let’s figure out when you can book your Lightning Lane Passes so you have the best selection possible.

    I’m not sure which partner hotel you’re staying at, but currently guests at the Dolphin Hotel, Swan Hotel, Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green Resort can purchase Lightning Lane Passes starting seven days before check-in, for the length of their stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can purchase three days in advance of their first theme park day. If you have a date-based ticket, you can purchase for all days on your ticket when your booking date opens. Other admission types, like Annual Passholders, can purchase one day at a time, three days in advance of their theme park day. When you’re eligible to buy Lightning Lane Passes, booking starts at 7:00 AM Eastern Time, so set your alarm clock! Don’t be late for this very important date!

    If you’re staying at a different hotel, you might still be eligible for other benefits, like Early Theme Park Entry. There’s a longer list of non-Disney Resort hotels that can take advantage of this special perk. With Early Theme Park Entry, you can get into the theme parks 30 minutes before other guests, giving you even more time in the magic! Many, but not all, attractions open during these 30 minutes so check the list to plan your “rope drop” strategy accordingly.

    October is one of my favorite times to visit Disney World since Magic Kingdom is BOO-tifully decorated for Halloween! For some extra spooky fun, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will be happening on select nights at Magic Kingdom. My friends love to coordinate costumes for this specially ticketed event!

    I hope each of your 14 days is more magical than the last! And don’t hesitate to come back to planDisney if you have any other questions.
