Hi there, Juliana!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your Lightning Lane question! Oh boy, are you in for a magical adventure! Lightning Lanes are practically pixie dust when it comes to making the most of your park days—less time waiting in line means more time boating in Arendelle, saving the galaxy with the Guardians, or indulging in a Mickey ice cream bar as you take in Cinderella Castle!
Now, let’s zoom right into your question! You’ll be happy to know that you do not have to purchase Lightning Lanes for all four days of your trip—you can select which specific days you’d like to add them! Whether you’re choosing a Multi Pass, Single Pass, or a Premier Pass, you can tailor your Lightning Lane selections to fit your perfect Disney day.
Here’s how it works:
- If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel (or a participating resort), you can purchase Lightning Lanes up to 7 days in advance for the length of your stay (up to 14 days).
- If you’re staying off-property, you can purchase Lightning Lanes up to 3 days in advance for each park day.
- To purchase, open the My Disney Experience App, navigate to Lightning Lane Passes on the home screen, select your date and party, and follow the prompts. If you choose Multi Pass, you’ll select three initial attractions to start!
- Important tip! You can only purchase one Lightning Lane per attraction daily, so plan strategically to maximize the magic!
Pro Tip, Juliana: Before your trip, check out the
Disney Parks Blog for updates on exciting new attractions, seasonal treats, and entertainment offerings! You never know when something new might pop up!
I hope this helps answer your question, Juliana! If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to visit.
See you real soon!
