Welcome to planDisney, Juanne. I'm glad you brought your question to us!
Currently,
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass offer Guests the ability to use the My Disney Experience mobile app to book Lightning Lane reservations before their visit. Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel can begin booking their reservations at 7 a.m. EST 7 days before their visit, while all other Guests can book 3 days before the first day of their theme park ticket. International Guests can begin to book once they have arrived in the United States and are eligible based on their accommodations!
Each Guest on your resort reservation with a MyDisney account and the My Disney Experience mobile app can purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and/or Lightning Lane Single Pass and make their reservations. Just note that these separate groups would have to select their own, separate Lightning Lane reservations initially when making their purchase. So, you can either coordinate your return times if you want to ride together or, after making your initial reservations, modify them so that they are all booked together. Just note that availability will likely have changed when you go to modify them.
Since you're visiting this August, make sure you're checking out all of
the limited-time offerings that are available just for the summer. And if you happen to still be at the resort on August 29, 2024, be sure to check out the opening of the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. The
Foodie Guide for this festival was just released and the options look phenomenal!
Juanne, enjoy your summertime trip to the resort. If you have any other questions,
I'll be right here!
Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever,
Matt
