Hello there, Adam! Welcome to
planDisney, and thank you for bringing us your question!
You are correct, my friend. If you purchase the
Canada Resident Theme Park Tickets, you will need to stop by a ticketing window or Guest Relations location to pick them up prior to first use. This is because you'll need to prove your Canadian residency before your tickets can be activated!
However, I'm very happy to report that you'll still be able to make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance of your trip and purchase
Lightning Lane Multi Passes and Lightning Lane Single Passes up to seven days before you head to the Most Magical Place on Earth. Keep in mind that dining reservations for your magical vacation will open up for you on February 22, and Lightning Lane passes will become available for purchase on April 16. I suggest that you write these dates down on your calendar so you don't forget!
And if you really want to make this trip an unforgettable one, remember that you can also book different experiences from the
Enchanting Extras Collection up to 60 days before your trip! If you're celebrating something that you'd like to remember, you could book a Capture Your Moment session. Or, if you're really feeling adventurous, you could try the Wild Africa Trek. This is literally a behind-the-scenes expedition at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park! But those are just some ideas... feel free to skim through the full list to see if something catches your eye!
I hope your vacation is as magical as you expect it to be, Adam. If you have any other questions, you know where to find us! We're always available and more than happy to help. See you real soon!
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
