Hi Cindy!
Welcome back to planDisney! As my friend Princess Tiana would say, your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is getting
"closer and closer every day!" It won't be long before you can head down to the Bayou to visit her on
Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom Park and then enjoy a spin around Andy's Backyard on
Slinky Dog Dash at Disney's Hollywood Studios - all with a little help from
Lightning Lane passes!
Cindy, if you are staying at a hotel in the
Disney Resorts Collection, you'll be able to start making your pre-arrival selections and purchases of Lightning Lane passes up to seven days before checking in, while all other Guests will be able to do the same three days before visiting the parks. I'm happy to share with you that you will actually go through the entire selection process before making your purchase, so you will know exactly what rides, dates, and times you have secured before making payment. You can make your selections and purchases through the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. Additionally, if you need to modify your plans after purchase, you can do so (subject to availability) in the app as well.
When you're ready to purchase your Lightning Lane passes, you'll find two options available - Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. The Single Pass option is available for one or two select rides per park and is an "à la carte" offering. You can purchase up to two Lightning Lane Single Passes per day per Guest, and they can even be from different parks if you have the
Park Hopper Option included with your tickets. Lightning Lane Multi Pass allows you to pre-select three attractions from a single park for each day that you purchase the product. If you are planning to park hop, all of your pre-arrival selections do need to be from the same park, but you can make additional same-day selections as you redeem Lightning Lane selections from other parks if you wish, based on availability. It's also important to note that if you are purchasing for a group, all initial selections must be the same but can later be modified to other available times and attractions.
Cindy, I hope this information is helpful as you continue to plan and prepare for your upcoming trip! You've got a friend in me here at planDisney, so please stop by to see us again if you have any other questions!
To Infinity and Beyond!
