Hi Marianne!
Welcome back to planDisney! That might be my favorite part about being an
Annual Passholder…you can pop into the park every day, even if it’s just for a couple of hours. It makes for such a relaxing time in the park!
The good news is that when you purchase and book your
Lightning Lanes, you will select exactly who you want to purchase it for on each park day. So, you won’t be charged for both people on the days it will just be you going to the parks (whoop, whoop!).
If you’ll be staying at a Disney World resort or select good neighbor hotel, you’ll be able to book your Lightning Lanes for your entire trip beginning at 7 AM Eastern, 7 days prior to your check-in date. If you’ll be staying off property, since you have an Annual Pass, you can book your Lightning Lanes 3 days prior to each park day.
Before your booking window opens, make sure you have your
park reservations. That way you’ll be able to snag earlier Lightning Lane return times pending availability. As an Annual Passholder, you will need park reservations for the first park you want to visit each day unless you see that it’s a
good-to-go day. On good-to-go days, you can enter any park without a reservation.
I hope you and your roommate have the best time enjoying Disney together! Let us know if you have any other questions!
