Hey there, hi there, ho there Andrea! You're as welcome as can be at planDisney! Thanks for sending in a question regarding your upcoming fall trip to Walt Disney World. Do you have a magical countdown in the works? I hope so - it's a large part of the fun!
If your "split stay" Disney Resort reservations are consecutive, or back-to-back, then yes! You can reserve Lightning Lanes for the duration of your stay at both resorts, all at the same time. Your booking window will open up 7 days prior to that first Disney Resort check-in date, beginning at 7 a.m. Eastern Time. If you have an off-site gap between your two Disney Resort stays, you'll have two different eligibility windows to book
Lightning Lane passes. One window to reserve Lightning Lanes for use during for your first stay dates, starting 7 days prior to check-in. And another booking window for passes to use during your second Disney Resort stay, starting 7 days prior to that second check-in date.
I always advise people to get ready ahead of time, so they can quickly grab their first choices once their eligibility window opens up. Install the
My Disney Experience app, make sure all your park tickets are linked, and that all guests in your party are added to your
My Family & Friends list. I also like to make a list of the parks and attractions I want to secure passes for, so I'm prepared to make some ka-chow lightning fast decisions!
One last tip before I go. My family gets the maximum value out of our Lightning Lane Multi Pass by selecting at least one attraction with as early of a return time as possible. As soon as we tap in to the attraction queue... I immediately hop on the app and grab another Lightning Lane reservation! And those additional, same day Lightning Lanes are not restricted by any groups or tiers. It's such a great way to pack more into your Disney day, you're going to love it!
Andrea, I hope this helps and that you enjoy every magical moment of your time at Disney World. Sending pixie dust and happy thoughts your way! Please
visit me again at planDisney with anything else I can assist with.
Reach for the sky!
