Hi there, Melanie!
From one resident of the Peach State to another, welcome to planDisney! Can you believe you are just two months away from your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth? With a new system in place for bypassing standby queues, it's a great idea to dive into the details before you arrive. I purchased
Lightning Lane passes just this week, so I'm delighted to share what I learned!
Did you know that Guests of Disney Resort hotels are eligible to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass 7 days before their vacation begins? All other Guests will need to wait until 3 days before their visit. When purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass you will be prompted to select 3 available experiences and reservation times in a single theme park. Please keep in mind that some theme parks have a tiered attraction system in place that will determine what you are able to reserve in advance. Although you will only have 3 guaranteed Lightning Lane passes initially, once you redeem your first pass you will be eligible to make another reservation in any theme park and at any tier. Happily, this policy continues for the rest of the day. Each time you redeem a pass you will be able to reserve another from the available list. If a desired attraction or time isn't available initially, I encourage you to keep checking back. Things periodically open throughout the day as people change their plans. I was able to secure both a
Tiana's Bayou Adventure and
Slinky Dog Dash Lightning Lane pass simply by being persistent!
I hope this information was helpful, Melanie, and that you'll stop back by planDisney again. If you have any additional questions about the new Lighting Lane system feel free to send them to me directly.
I'm always happy to help!Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
