Hello Stephanie!
Welcome to our planDisney family! Thank you for reaching out with your very first question. I know you guys are excited and looking forward to October and may feel a bit overwhelmed by the new Lightning Lane passes, but don't worry. It's easier than you think, and it's really great.
One of the best things about the
new Lightning Lane Pass, and the My Disney Experience app is that they offer full customization for your family's delight in the Walt Disney World theme parks. You can select specific members from your
My Family & Friends list to be included in each of your purchases.
For example, after purchasing the Lightning Lane Multi Pass for your group, you can split the group when choosing attractions to ensure everyone gets to ride what they like. There's no need to stay together the whole time – it's very flexible. The same goes for the Lightning Lane Single Passes; you can select who from your party you want to include in your purchase before selecting your desired return windows and proceeding to payment.
Just make sure that everyone in your group is included in your
My Disney Experience account and that all tickets are linked. If your tickets include the Park Hopper option, this step is required to access all available options with the new system.
I hope you and your family have a fantastic time, Stephanie. If you have any more questions,
please feel free to reach out. We're always here to help our fabulous friends like you.
Cheers
Nilson
