    Hello! For the lightning lane purchase, I read it’s 7 days in advance for staying in Disney property. However, when I go on the app I see that the calendar for lightning lane lets you book much further out. Can you confirm which is correct?

    Hi Mallory,

    Your magical vacation is right around the corner. This is the perfect time to finalize all of your plans so that when you arrive, you can relax and enjoy the adventure. 

    On my recent adventures, I’ve embraced the magic of the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, and they’ve truly transformed my Disney World experience. These passes are an enchanted way to make the most of your time in the parks, all while giving you the flexibility to weave in those coveted advanced dining reservations. One of the best perks of staying at a Disney Resort hotel is the ability to purchase Lightning Lane passes 7 days before your arrival—securing your spots for the entire duration of your stay (up to 14 days). 

    This early access is a game-changer, granting priority to the most popular experiences and arrival windows. Attractions like Tiana's Bayou Adventure, which often vanish in the blink of an eye, are much more attainable when you have that 7-day head start. While even the busiest seasons can still pose a challenge, this magical window significantly improves your chances of securing your dream experiences.

    When you log in to your My Disney Experience app to purchase Lightning Lane passes, you will often see a larger window available. If you proceed to check out, you will not be able to check out until your 7-day window opens. I recently saw the same thing and got pumped because I thought I could get earlier access but tested it out and confirmed that checkout is only available within the 7-day window. 

    Happy Planning,
    Jenna
