Hi there, Georgina!
Welcome back to planDisney and happy 2025 - the year of your next
Walt Disney World Resort vacation! With your magical adventure just a few months away, you must be getting
so excited. Since you have your Vacation Package booked, you've added the Park Hopper option and you're already planning to make Advance Dining Reservations and Lightning Lane Pass selections, it sounds like your planning is off to a practically perfect start. Now, let's make sure your pixie-dusted planning stays on track!
Rest assured that as a guest of the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, you will be able to make your
Advance Dining Reservations for your entire stay (up to 10 days) 60 days before your arrival, and as long as your Resort Hotel reservation is properly linked to your
My Disney Experience account, you will be able to do so on the Walt Disney World website or the My Disney Experience app, regardless of any possible issues with your tickets.
To make any
Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass selections in advance, you
will need valid theme park admission linked to your My Disney Experience account, so let's make sure that your tickets are properly linked and good to go. To check that your tickets are linked, log into your My Disney Experience app, tap the three-line menu icon at the bottom, and then tap the "My Tickets & Passes" tile to view your Park Hopper tickets. If you don't see them here, tap the blue plus sign at the top and follow the steps to link your tickets by scanning the code or entering the ID Number. If you have any issues with this, I suggest
calling a helpful Cast Member with Existing Tickets to make sure those tickets get linked properly. Then, you should be all set!
Georgina, you will be visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth during one of the most magical times of the year, in my opinion. Not only will the weather be warm enough to enjoy a midday dip in your Resort Hotel's pool, but the beautiful
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will be in full bloom. Staying within walking distance of EPCOT and having Park Hopper tickets will make it so easy for you to pop in and out of the fest to fully experience everything it has to offer. Enjoy, my friend!
I hope this helps, Georgina, and I hope you book every dining experience and Lightning Lane Pass on your must-have list. Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have along the way.
Happy planning!
Mandy
