Hi there, Debra! Thanks for bringing such a great question to planDisney! The new
Lightning Lanes are going to make for such a great Guest experience at the Disney Parks! I’m happy to provide a few tips as you continue your planning.
Guests with a reservation for a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, or other select hotels including Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin, Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green can purchase and select Lightning Lane attractions up to seven days before their hotel check-in date! You shared your hotel check-in date as September 21, 2024. You can begin making your Lightning Lane selections and purchase on September 14, 2024.
Guests wishing to purchase and select Lightning Lane attractions can do so using their
My Disney Experience mobile app. First, be sure that you download the latest version of the My Disney Experience mobile app. When you arrive at your home screen, you will notice an area stating “Lightning Lane Multi Pass/Single Pass.” You can tap “Purchase.” You will then follow the on-screen prompts to make your selections and complete payment.
Debra, when you first purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you can make up to three (initial) attraction selections. Again, you can do that seven days before your hotel check-in date. Once you arrive at the park and use your first Lightning Lane, you can select additional Lightning Lane Multi Pass attractions (as long as there is availability), at no additional cost, using your My Disney Experience app!
Dreams do come true!
