Hi there, Al, and thanks for stopping by planDisney!
I am more than happy to lend a Mickey hand to help you with your question. The new
Lightning Lane Multi Pass system is super useful for bypassing the longer, standard queues. Instead of spending time waiting in lines, you can use that time to make memories with your family—or to enjoy an ice-cold Disney treat.
Once your booking window opens (up to 7 days before your arrival date if you’re staying at an eligible Disney hotel or up to 3 days prior if you’re not staying on property), go to the My Disney Experience App to purchase the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Single Pass. Each person in your crew who will be using the system will need their own Lightning Lane pass. If everyone will be riding together and using the pass, you will need to select them all and you will pay for four passes in one transaction.
Lightning Lane passes are by the day and you don’t need to buy one for every single day of your trip unless that’s what your heart desires. On booking day, you can make selections for the entire length of your vacation (up to 14 days) if you are staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel or other eligible hotel. If you’re staying off property, as I usually do as a local and frequent visitor, you can make passes on a day-by-day basis.
Al, you have quite the exciting journey ahead. If you have room in your itinerary, I highly recommend a visit to the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Every Global Marketplace has a small bite that you will enjoy. It’s a truly relaxing—and flavorful—event. Until then, if you have any additional questions, just
give us a holler here at planDisney.
Magic always,
LeAndra
