    when are lighting lane selections

    Hiya Maritess,

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your Lightning Lane question! Lightning Lanes can be a great way to save time in the parks and fit more into your day. My daughter’s favorite ride is Rise of the Resistance at Hollywood Studios, so you can usually find us purchasing a Lightning Lane Single Pass whenever we visit!

    So Maritess, let’s jump right into your question. If you are staying at a Disney Resort or another eligible hotel, you can purchase your Lightning Lane passes and make your selections beginning 7 days before your stay. All other Guests can begin purchasing and making selections 3 days before their park visit.

    When it's time to purchase, you’ll have a few different options. Lightning Lane Single Pass is available for select high-demand attractions. With Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you can choose up to three eligible experiences and arrival windows in advance. There is also Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which allows you one-time access to each available Lightning Lane experience in the theme park you select, without needing to choose specific arrival windows.

    I always recommend looking at the attractions your family is most excited about ahead of time. That way, when your purchase window opens, you'll already know what you want to prioritize.

    Maritess, I hope this helps make your Lightning Lane planning a little easier! If you have any additional questions as you get ready for your visit, please come back and see us again.

    See you real soon,

    Christina
