    How can I get priority option. I bought 8 tickets today . Thanks

    Hi Damanpreet!

    Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like your trip is super close, so let’s get you the answer you’re looking for!

    Since you’ll be arriving at Disney World so soon, you’re likely already within the booking window for Lightning Lanes, which is what I believe you’re referring to when you’re hoping to get a priority option. 

    If you’re staying at a Disney World resort, your Lightning Lane booking window opens 7 days prior to your check-in date at 7 AM Eastern. And if you’re staying off property, your booking window opens at 7 AM Eastern, 3 days prior to the start date of your ticket (for date-based tickets). 

    You’ll purchase and book all of your Lightning Lane services for each park day (pending availability) by using your My Disney Experience app. You find the services right there on the homepage of the app. Just click the Purchase button under the service you’d like to purchase and follow the prompts. 

    You’ll have 3 options when it comes to bypassing the standby queues at the attractions:

    Lightning Lane Multi Pass allows you to choose 3 Lightning Lane pre-selections in the park for which you purchase it. Then on your park day, every time you scan into a Lightning Lane using Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you’ll immediately be able to book any other available Lightning Lane. 

    Lightning Lane Single Pass is available for 1-2 attractions at each theme park. These attractions are not included in Lightning Lane Multi Pass and tend to be some of the most popular attractions in the park. You can purchase a Lightning Lane Single Pass for up to 2 attractions per park day (pending availability). 

    Finally, Lightning Lane Premier Pass allows you to enter the Lightning Lane at each available attraction in the park for which you purchased it. There is no need to make any reservations after purchasing the pass. Just show up to the Lightning Lane entrance at the attraction and scan in! While this is the most expensive option, it’s definitely the easiest. 

    I hope that helps! If you were thinking of something different or have any other questions, feel free to come back to ask. I hope you have the best time at the parks!
