Welcome to planDisney, Tim! As a fellow Walt Disney World adventurer from the UK, let's talk through how the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and the Lightning Lane Single Pass work for us.
At present, you must be on US soil to purchase the Lightning Lane Multi Pass or the Lightning Lane Single Pass in advance. Once in the States, Disney Resort hotel Guests can book for their entire stay, up to two weeks.
A fantastic feature of the updated Lightning Lane Multi Pass is that Guests know in advance which three rides are available and the timings of the pre-bookable Lightning Lanes. This allows you to make informed decisions before purchasing. If the availability doesn’t suit your plans, you can adjust accordingly. Beyond those initial three pre-bookable Lightning Lanes, all Guests have the same opportunity on the day to book additional Lightning Lane access via the
My Disney Experience app after using their first reservation.
Consider alternating between days with and without Lightning Lanes or mix Multi Pass and Single Pass days. The
Magic Ticket gives you 14 full days of Park Hopper access to all the Parks, including the Water Parks. With so much to enjoy, from
entertainment to dining, you may find some days without Lightning Lanes equally enjoyable. Our family loves those easygoing, unplanned days in the Parks.
I hope this information is helpful, Tim! Keep an eye on the Walt Disney World website for any updates. Enjoy planning your magical adventure, and feel free to pop back with any more questions!
