    Hi! I'm planning a trip from out of the US in November and plan to stay on property, are there any chances we'll be able to book the lightning lanes on advance? Please?!

    Hi Alejandra,

    It's great to hear that you're planning a trip in November and staying at the Walt Disney World Resort. It's such a magical time of year to visit!

    Regarding the new Lightning Lane System, here's a bit of a rundown: This system allows Guests to reserve access to select attractions and experiences, bypassing the regular standby lines for a shorter wait time. It's a fantastic way to make the most of your park days, especially during peak seasons.

    However, there's an important note for Guests traveling from outside the United States. Due to international laws, Lightning Lane selections can only be made once you are physically present in the U.S. This means that you'll need to wait until your arrival to choose your preferred return times for the attractions.

    Despite this limitation, there's still a good chance of securing spots for some of the most popular rides and experiences, especially if you strategically plan your reservations. Here's a tip: Start by booking Lightning Lane times for the latter part of your vacation first. This can increase your chances of getting the attractions you really want, as availability often shifts throughout the day.

    Remember, the magic of Disney isn't just in the attractions—it's in the atmosphere, the entertainment, and those little unexpected moments that make each visit unique. Have a fantastic trip, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
