Hi Lorraine!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney! I’m so excited that you’re gearing up to use the newest Lightning Lane system! It’s the perfect way to enjoy a low-stress day at the parks.
In order to access the Lightning Lanes during your park day, each person who has
Lightning Lane Premier Pass will need to scan in. This can be done using the
MagicMobile service in your My Disney Experience app, a Key to the World card, or a MagicBand/MagicBand+.
I personally love the
convenience of my MagicBand! Not only will it make scanning into all of those Lightning Lanes a breeze, but you can also use it to enter the parks, unlock your resort room, link photos taken by the PhotoPass Photographers to your app, and make purchases. The biggest perk of all in my eyes, though, is that you can reuse the band during future trips, so you can get a lot of use out of it if you plan to visit again.
If you don’t go the route of purchasing MagicBands, I highly recommend getting a free Key to the World card for each family member from the front desk of your resort or at Guest Relations at the park entrances.
With all the time you’ll save in the queues, take advantage of some of the extra experiences around the parks and resorts.
Springtime is one of my favorite times to visit Disney World between the nice weather and the
Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot. The parks always seem to have a sparkle to them when everything’s in full bloom!
I hope you have the best trip! Come back to visit us if you have any other questions.
