Hi, Jean! Welcome to planDisney! It’s my pleasure to assist a fellow Disney Passholder with magical vacation planning questions.
Jean, Disney Resort Hotel Guests can purchase
Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days before their check-in date. All other guests not staying at a Disney Resort hotel can purchase Lightning Lane passes up to 3 days in advance. My recommendation is for you to have your grandaughter added to your room reservation, if she’s not already, so you can both lock in those early booking windows together!
Before that 7-day window opens, make sure you are both linked to
your My Disney Experience account. That way, you can easily select both your grandaughter and yourself in your party for all your reservations.
I hope you have an extra groovy time while you’re staying at
Disney’s Pop Century! I love all the fun details like the Hippy Dippy Pool that’s shaped like a giant flower—totally giving those groovy 60s vibes. Then, over in the 70s section, there’s an actual life-sized Twister game! I mean, how fun is that for a goofy photo op or just to geek out a little?
And here’s the real magic: Pop Century is connected to the
Disney Skyliner! When you hop on, you’ll glide right over Hourglass Lake, which (yep, you guessed it!) is shaped like an hourglass. Such a cool little detail! The Skyliner is hands down my favorite way to get to EPCOT or Hollywood Studios—it’s like a mini attraction on its own.
Pop Century is seriously full of these little gems, so make sure you take some time to explore while you’re there!
I hope you and your grand have a rad time during your stay! If there is anything else you need help with, we are hEAR to assist!
Pixie dust away!
