    If I’m staying on site, do I buy and schedule my lightning lanes seven days before check in or seven days before my first day in the park which would be the day after check in?

    Howdy Janet!

    Welcome to planDisney, a gang of the rootinest, tootinest Disney vacation enthusiasts on this side of Walt Disney World! I’m glad you stopped by with your question. I am happy to *round up* an answer about purchasing your Lightning Lane passes.  

    One of the benefits of staying at a Disney Resort hotel is the ability to make Lightning Lane selections 7 days before the first day of your resort stay, no matter what day you plan to enter the theme parks. You can make selections for the length of your resort stay (up to 14 days) starting at 7:00 AM Eastern Time. This is just one of the many fabulous perks of staying at a Disney Resort hotel. Other benefits include incredible theming that keeps you submersed in the magic of Disney, complimentary transportation to the theme parks and Disney Springs, including fun ways to get around, like monorail and water transportation, and the Disney Skyliner and Early Theme Park Entry. One of my favorite perks for stays in 2025 is water park admission on check-in day included in your stay!  

    I hope you experience a whole world of magic, Janet! You’ve got a friend in me, in all of us here at planDisney, so stop by anytime we can answer your questions.
