Hey there, Matt! Welcome to planDisney!
My family is all about maximizing our time at the theme parks when we visit Walt Disney World, so I’m a big fan of Lightning Lane Passes. It’s great to be able to prioritize your favorite attractions and be able to make a plan for your magical Disney day.
Especially when there is so much to see and do at Walt Disney World this year!
If you have date-based tickets, which are the most common type of theme park tickets, you can purchase Lightning Lane Passes 3 days in advance for the total number of valid admission days on your ticket. That means you can buy a Lightning Lane Multi Pass for both of your park days at the same time. Other types of tickets and Annual Passes require you to purchase Lightning Lane Passes 3 days in advance of each day of your visit. You can find more information on purchasing Lightning Lane Passes
here.
Remember, if you are staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel or other eligible hotel, you can purchase Lightning Lane Passes 7 days in advance. And as you get ready to purchase your Lightning Lane Multi Pass, make sure you familiarize yourself with the
eligible attractions and groups for each theme park. It will be a big time-saver when your booking date arrives.
I hope this info helps with your vacation planning, Matt. Come right back to planDisney if you have any other questions or need recommendations. We’re always happy to help!
Magical travels!
Matt
