    We are going to magic kingdom with 4 adults and 2 kids age of 3. We want to buy multi passes to skip lines. Do we need to buy 6 passes (2 kids and 4 adults) or just 4 passes for the adults? Can the kids ride with adults that have passes or they need one?

    Howdy Ricardo!

    Welcome to planDisney. I see you are just a day away from visiting The Most Magical Place on Earth. Soon you will be walking down Main Street USA with Cinderella’s Castle in view. I’ve visited the Magic Kingdom numerous times, and that view never gets old. I would like to share a few tips for your visit, but first, let’s get to your question. 

    I see you will be visiting with 4 adults and 2 children, ages 3, and you would like to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Passes for the whole family. Since your children are 3 years old and will have valid theme park admission tickets, they would also need to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Passes in order use the Lightning Lane entrance with the rest of the family. This should allow you to experience shorter ride wait times and more time to enjoy other attractions and shows you would like. It will also help with rides where the children do not meet the height requirements. We used it so my wife could quickly ride while I waited with the kids, and once she was done, I went through the Lightning Lane entrance and rode. This always saved significant time.

    My top tip for using Lightning Lane Multi Pass is to remember that once you scan into your ride, you can book another pass while you wait in line. I would also monitor the My Disney Experience app for any rides that do not show a time slot you prefer. Guests frequently cancel their reservations, and you can then get their time slot. 

    Ricardo, I hope this helps with your vacation planning to Walt Disney World. I hope you and your family have a magical time.

    See ya real soon,
    Robert
