Hiya, Gwen, and welcome to planDisney!
It looks like your countdown to your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is SO SOON! That calls for a celebration — WOOHOO!! Now is the perfect time to start getting everything in order so you can have the BEST VACATION EVER! Let's make sure you're all set to purchase your theme park tickets and go over everything you need to know about Lightning Lanes. That way, you can focus on all the fun that's right around the corner! There's so much magic waiting for you, and I'm here to help!
Purchasing theme park tickets can easily be done directly through the
Walt Disney World website. Start by selecting the number of days you'd like to visit and choosing the type of ticket that works best for your trip. Options include standard single-park tickets, Park Hopper tickets (which allow you to visit multiple parks in one day), and Park Hopper Plus tickets (which include access to the water parks and more). After selecting your tickets, you'll choose the starting date for your visit. Keep in mind that ticket prices vary based on the date and type of ticket.
Another convenient way to purchase tickets is through the
My Disney Experience app. To do this, from the app's Home Screen, tap the (+) sign at the bottom of the screen. Next, select "Buy Tickets and Passes," then follow the prompts to complete your purchase.
Now, let's chat
Lightning Lanes! Purchasing Lightning Lanes is a great way to save time and enjoy more attractions during your visit. There are three types of Lightning Lanes: Lightning Lane Multipass, Lightning Lane Single Pass, and Lightning Lane Premier Pass.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass lets you reserve up to 3 attractions and arrival windows. Once you scan into your first experience, you'll be able to make an additional selection (subject to availability) right on your My Disney Experience app. You can keep making additional selections throughout the day as long as there's availability.
Lightning Lane Single Pass allows you to purchase access to the most in-demand attractions, like TRON: Lightcycle / Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. You can purchase two Single Passes per day to save time in line.
Lightning Lane Premier Pass provides one-time access to each Lightning Lane experience in a single theme park for the day. With Premier Pass, you can enjoy more flexibility as you don't need to select specific arrival windows.
Lightning Lanes can be purchased up to 7 days before your visit for
Disney Resort Guests. Other Guests are able to purchase up to 3 days before their park visit.
I hope this information is helpful, Gwen! Please feel free to visit us again if you have any additional questions — we're always happy to help!
Magical wishes,
