Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Danielle!
Thank you for stopping by with a great question. It is a pleasure to assist you as you plan your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort adventure!
Buying an individual
Lighting Lane entry is the best way to secure a spot to enjoy popular attractions like
TRON Lightcyle / Run. Guests can make their purchase via the My Disney Experience mobile app on the date of their visit beginning at theme park opening time. If you are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel or other select hotels, you can make your purchase starting at 7:00 am. Please note that individual Lightning Lane entry is subject to availability, and you must have valid tickets and a theme park reservation for the date of your visit (reservations required through January 8, 2024).
Guests who wish to experience TRON Lightcyle / Run must be at least 48 inches or taller. I highly recommend measuring your son at home to check if he meets the height requirement before arriving at the Walt Disney World Resort. That will allow you to plan your individual purchases of Lightning Lane entry accordingly and talk to your son in advance if he is not tall enough. As the mother of two girls, I know kids can get very disappointed when they find out they cannot ride an attraction they really want to experience. If you end up purchasing a Lightning Lane entry you will not use, look for the Guest Experience Team throughout the parks for assistance. They can be easily identified by their blue shirts and are usually helping Guests under blue umbrellas. The team will be able to verify if your purchase can be refunded.
planDisney tip: Besides purchasing an individual Lightning Lane entry, Guests can also request to join the
Virtual Queue for TRON Lightcyle / Run.
I hope this information is helpful, Danielle. Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
See ya real soon,
Thiana
