Hi Kimberly,
Welcome to planDisney! When we’re counting down to our next vacation we’re always looking for certain milestones we can celebrate, and Lightning Lane selection day is one of those milestones! That’s when you know you’ll be in Walt Disney World soon!
It sounds like you’re not staying at a Disney Resort, so your Lightning Lane selection window opens 3 days before your visit. Guests with Annual Passes, or tickets that are not date-based can purchase Lightning Lanes 3 days before the date of their park visit.
Guests with date-based theme park tickets can purchase Lightning Lanes 3 days before the start date of the ticket for the total number of valid admission days on their ticket. Since you have a 4-Day Park Hopper ticket, you would have selected a start date for your ticket, meaning you should be able to purchase Lightning Lanes for each of your park days once your purchase window opens.
I reached out to a Cast Member for clarification, and they agreed that with the information you provided, you should be able to purchase all 4 days of Lightning Lanes. If you are purchasing Lightning Lanes for several people, perhaps someone from your list does not have the same purchase window eligibility. In that case, the app would note which members of your party are not eligible. The Cast Member recommended that you call the number listed under “
My Disney Experience, MagicBand and MagicBand+” for assistance. I suggest calling before your Lightning Lane purchase window opens so there are no delays when it is time to make your selections.
I hope this points you in the right direction, Kimberly. Are you planning to visit the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival during your visit? The
Garden Rocks Concert Series has several show times on most nights and I see Air Supply on the schedule for March 10th! I hope you have a magical time at Walt Disney World, Kimberly. Please come back to see us at
planDisney again sometime!
