Hey there, Gagan!
I'm so happy to welcome you to planDisney, and appreciate you bringing your question our way. It looks like your
summer visit to Walt Disney World is coming up soon, and I bet you're getting excited! As Lightning McQueen would say, "
Ka-Chow!"...your vacation will be here before you know it. There's so much fun waiting for you, and I know you're counting down the days!
It's great that you're planning to purchase
Lightning Lane passes for your park days! They can be a huge time-saver, especially during the summer when the Florida heat can make those standby lines feel even longer. It’s a great feeling bypassing a long queue and heading straight into the Lightning Lane for your next attraction.
Since you're not staying at a Disney Resort, you'll be able to purchase your Lightning Lane passes three days before each park visit. One important thing to keep in mind is that you'll only be able to purchase passes for one park day at a time, rather than your entire vacation all at once.
My biggest tip is to set an alarm for a few minutes before 7:00 AM Eastern Time on each of your booking days. Have your
My Disney Experience app open and be ready to make your selections as soon as reservations become available. It also helps to decide ahead of time which attractions are your top priorities so you can book them as quickly as possible.
The good news is that after you've completed your purchase, you can continue to modify your selections later, subject to availability. And don't forget, once you've scanned into your first Lightning Lane attraction on the day of your visit, you'll be able to make another selection right away in the My Disney Experience app, as long as return times are still available. This is a great way to maximize the value of your Lightning Lane purchase and fit even more magic into your day!
Gagan, I hope this helps as you put the finishing touches on your vacation plans! Before you know it, you'll be revving your engines and racing toward all the magic that awaits. Thanks for cruising by planDisney!
See ya real soon,
Kami
