    Hello! I’m checking into Disney resort on a Sunday, but my 3 days of park tickets are not valid until the next day. Does Lightning lane reservation start 7 days prior to check in day Sunday, or 7 days prior to the ticketed park day?

    Welcome to planDisney, Jim! I'm so excited about your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort. Fall is my favorite time in the theme parks; I hope you take advantage of all the Halloween photo opportunities. Although, it sounds like you'll be racing to the attractions, much like my family. Priorities! Let's look at how you can purchase Lightning Lane passes to streamline your vacation.

    As a Disney Resort hotel guest, you can begin purchasing Lighting Lanes seven days before your stay. So, if you're checking in on a Sunday, you can purchase Lightning Lane Multi and Single Passes the Sunday before. You can buy passes for as many days as you like during your stay, up to 14 days. Guests not staying at resort hotels can purchase passes three days before their park visit.

    My tip is to combine the two pass types to feel like a true VIP. My friends and I recently purchased Lightning Lane Multi Passes for our day at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park and Lighting Lane Single Passes for Avatar Flight of Passage. It was fabulous to have such low waits! We had time for a leisurely lunch at Nomad Lounge and enjoyed a self-guided safari through the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail. The meerkats are my favorite!

    Jim, I hope I've offered some guidance about Lightning Lanes for your Disney visit. Please stop by planDisney anytime!

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
