Hi Amanda!
I’m excited to hear you have an upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort planned! It sounds like you've been doing your research on the new
Lightning Lane passes and have already learned a lot, including when you can begin purchasing. As my pal Crush would say, “You so totally rock, dude!”
Amanda, as you are already aware, one of the
many benefits of staying in the Disney Resorts Collection is the ability to make your pre-arrival Lightning Lane selections and purchases seven days before checking in for the length of your stay - up to 14 days! While these pre-arrival selections will allow you to rest easy knowing return times are reserved for some of your must-do attractions, plans sometimes change. I’m happy to share that Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass selections can be modified based on availability after purchase up until you redeem your first selection each day. If you have purchased Lightning Lane Multi Pass for a particular park, you can change attractions within that park or change your selected park entirely. Since the cost of Lightning Lane Multi Pass varies based on the date and theme park, you will have to pay any difference if your new selection is more expensive.
Whether you're heading down the Bayou on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, sailing off to Arendelle on Frozen Ever After, or racing through Andy’s backyard on Slinky Dog Dash, Lightning Lane passes will help you get to the fun faster than fast and quicker than quick. Don’t forget that
Virtual Queues continue to remain available for select attractions. Joining a Virtual Queue is complimentary and your first chance to join will be at 7:00 AM each day you visit the parks. You can only join one Virtual Queue at a time, but when you combine this selection with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, you have a wonderful array of time-saving Mouseketools in place to maximize your time in the parks. Your
My Disney Experience Mobile App is your one-stop destination for managing any Virtual Queue selections and Lightning Lane passes.
Amanda, I hope this information is helpful and that you enjoy making magical memories on your upcoming trip! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!
Cheers,
Kristi
