Welcome to planDisney, Megan!
This is a great question! Any visit to
Walt Disney World can surely be magical, but utilizing
Lightning Lane passes is my favorite way to skip the standby line and maximize the magic.
If you are attending a conference that offers discounted afternoon entry, be sure to link those tickets in your
My Disney Experience Account as soon as you can. When you are using your
My Disney Experience app to secure those Lightning Lane passes, you'll be asked to select eligible members in your party. Those with a
Walt Disney World Theme Park Ticket should be eligible. If you can select a window that overlaps a 4:00 entry time, that is a pixie dusted way to kick off your Disney day!
Your plan to begin using those Lightning Lanes as early as possible is a great one, Megan, as stacking them starting at the beginning of your park visit will maximize your experience. As soon as you use one LL, immediately add another. Don't forget that once you've tapped into a ride, refresh that app to see if it's time to make your next selection. Just last week, I snagged a LL for
Soarin' Around the World as we waited to crew the capsule on
Mission: SPACE. Love that!
Be sure to add
Lightning Lane Single Passes, too, so that your afternoon and evening hours are filled with fun!
As you plan your visit, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
