    What if my lighting lane return time is the same as my dinner reservation?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Corey!

    Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is nearly here. Hooray! You must be getting excited as your magical countdown nears the end. I hope you have had a lovely time planning all of your practically perfect details. 

    When you go to purchase either your Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Single Pass, it will take into account any Advance Dining Reservations and offer you arrival windows to choose from with a "bubble" around your existing plans. I recently tried out both of the new Lightning Lane pass options on our last visit and I really liked being able to choose our arrival times. It was great knowing I wouldn't be "thanking the Phoenicians" on Spaceship Earth shortly before our dining reservation at Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria as that would be quite the sprint across EPCOT!

    Once you choose your initial arrival windows and complete your purchase, you can also go back into the My Disney Experience mobile app and modify the passes if needed. (Subject to availability.) Remember, your arrival window is for one hour. So as long as you redeem your Lightning Lane entry within that time frame you are all set. 

    Have a wonderful vacation, Corey! Thank you again for stopping by and please come see us again if you have any other vacation planning questions.

    Magical Wishes,

    Lauren

Meet the Panelist: Lauren, Colorado

Hi-ya, Pals! I'm Lauren, a wife and mother of three who's enjoyed many special occasions at Walt Disney World Resort with my family and friends. From graduations to birthdays, and even our Fairy Tale Honeymoon we’ve loved celebrating at the most Magical Place on Earth. I now have pre-teens who check wait times in the My Disney Experience App just for fun, so I look for any excuse to return "home" often and would love to help you plan a little extra Pixie Dust for your next magical adventure.
