Hi Alan! Welcome back to planDisney!
I'm happy to hear that you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort next year! Before you know it, you'll be arriving for a magical stay filled with unforgettable experiences and lasting memories.
With
3-day park hopper tickets, you will have the chance to visit the theme parks on three days during the allotted number of days that you are given. Each day you plan to visit the parks, simply show up at the first park you plan to visit, and then you'll have the option to hop to any of the three remaining parks. Park hopper tickets allow you to visit all four theme parks in one day if that's part of your plans.
If you plan to utilize Lightning Lane Single Pass or Multi-Pass, you can begin purchasing these services before you arrive. If you're staying in a
Disney Resort hotel, you can do so 7 days before you arrive for your entire length of stay, or 3 days in advance if you are staying elsewhere. Disney Genie+ has been replaced with these new services, with the main difference being that you can plan ahead of your stay.
When purchasing
Lightning Lane Multi-Pass, you'll be allowed to choose up to three attractions at the same park to book return windows for. I suggest doing so for the first park you plan to visit each day, since you'll be able to reserve more rides as the day goes on. Once you arrive at the park and use your first Lightning Lane, you can then book another one using the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. If you plan to park hop, you can select an attraction at a different park; however, make sure that the return is for when you plan to arrive there.
Lightning Lane Single Pass is designated for select rides at each park. These rides will need to be purchased separately from your Multi-Pass selections. Cost will vary based on each attraction that you decide to book extra.
Alan, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
