Hi Elizabeth!
So glad you stopped by planDisney! It sounds like you have a fun trip coming up, and I’m happy to help you bypass those standby queues to make the most of it.
Since you’re staying at a Disney World resort, you’ll be able to purchase
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and book your pre-selections beginning at 7 AM Eastern, 7 days prior to your check-in date for your entire trip. That’s officially become one of my favorite
perks of staying on property!
There are a few things to make sure you do before your booking window opens, though. Let’s go over them so that morning goes smoothly!
1. Double-check that your tickets are linked to your My Disney Experience account. To do this on your
My Disney Experience app, click the 3 lines in the bottom right corner, then click “My Tickets & Passes.” If you don’t see your park ticket, click the “+” in the top right corner to link it.
2. Make sure that you two are connected through your
Family & Friends List. Head back to that same section of your app by clicking the 3 lines in the bottom right corner, then scroll down to “Profile.” From there, click “Family & Friends List” at the top. If you’re not already connected, click “Add a Guest” and follow the prompts.
3. As an Incredi-Pass Holder, you’ll need to
make your park reservations for each park day. That will ensure you can get those earlier Lightning Lane return times if they’re available! Your friend may or may not need park reservations depending on the ticket type.
I recommend hopping on the app right at 7 AM Eastern when your booking window opens to give yourself the best chance at getting the Lightning Lanes you’re hoping for. Remember, you can also modify your Lightning Lanes at any time leading up to your trip.
I hope that was helpful! Free feel to come back and
visit us again with any questions you have. Have the BEST time with your friend!
