Well hello there, France. Welcome to our friendly little space on the internet for all of your
Disney vacation planning questions! We're so glad you made it.
Until July 24, 2024, Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel are eligible to purchase and book Individual Lightning Lanes at 7 a.m. All other Guests can begin to do so once the park at which the attraction is located has opened for the day. So if the other family you are traveling with is also staying at one of these eligible hotels and you are connected through the
My Family & Friends List, you shouldn't have an issue selecting them when making your purchase. However, if they aren't staying at one of these hotels, you will need to wait until the park opens if you want to include them in that particular experience. In contrast, currently, all Guests booking Lightning Lanes with the Disney Genie+ Service can reserve those experiences at 7 a.m.
Now France, remember how I said "until July 24, 2024" in my answer above? Well, that's because the way Guests book Lightning Lanes is changing starting on that date. You can read about all of the exciting changes on the
Disney Parks Blog! And while those changes are indeed exciting, there are some very exciting experiences happening
right now at the resort! Be sure to check out all
the new offerings available for the summer. I think I'm most excited to experience
Disney Dreams That Soar at
Disney Springs. Disney, cool drone technology, and my favorite shopping and dining district? Yes, please!
France, best wishes for booking the Lightning Lanes of your choice! If you have any other questions,
feel free to reach out again. We love repeat customers!
Reach for the sky,
Matt
