Ka-Chow, Jesseka! Thanks for racing over to planDisney to ask about Lightning Lane! Like Lightning McQueen himself, I'm going to try to get this answer out to you as fast as possible since you'll be arriving in just a few days and it looks like your 3-day booking window opens tomorrow. So, let's buckle up and get ready for a lightning round of information to help you have a magical vacation!
Jesseka,
Lightning Lane passes allow Guests to skip the standby line for select attractions and enter a separate entrance to reduce their wait time. These passes are available for a fee to all Guests in two different ways:
- Lightning Lane Multi Pass - this paid service allows Guests to preselect arrival windows for 3 attractions and experiences up to 7 days before their vacation begins. To be eligible for advance bookings at 7 days, Guests must be staying at a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels, and will then be able to book at 7 AM EST one week before their check-in date. All other Guests are eligible to book their advance selections at 7 AM EST 3 days before their park visit. Once your initial selections are made, there's nothing more to do until you arrive; once you scan into your first attraction, you will be eligible to book an additional attraction (subject to availability). Guests may hold 3 Lightning Lane Multi Pass passes at all times, so each time one is redeemed, you may book another one if available.
- Lightning Lane Single Pass - this paid service allows Guests to preselect arrival windows for select attractions that are not included with the Multi Pass service. The booking window is the same as Multi Pass, but each Guest is limited to two Single Pass selections per person per day. Each Single Pass is independently priced. This means if you opt to purchase your two Single Passes and the Multi Pass service, you will have pre-booked arrival windows for up to 5 attractions waiting for you when you arrive!
Jesseka, I hope this helps! I know some of my panelist pals have used the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and had great success stacking attractions and even
park hopping to get more value on this product! No matter how you strategize your selections and your time, this service will help you lessen your wait times so you can have more flexibility in your day! If you have any other questions, feel free to race back over and
let me know! I'm wishing you a speedy countdown and a magical vacation!
See you real soon,
Alison
