Hiya, Deborah! Welcome to planDisney!
It looks like you’re planning a visit in less than two weeks, so let’s dive right into your question! If you purchase 1-day tickets for yourself and your family, you can absolutely purchase
Lightning Lane Passes for your park day. If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels, you’ll be able to purchase passes up to 7 days in advance of your stay. If you are staying elsewhere, you can purchase passes up to 3 days in advance of your park visit.
With
Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you’ll be able to select return times for up to three attractions ahead of your visit. As soon as you redeem your first Lightning Lane on the day of your visit, you’ll be able to book another selection, always holding a maximum of three at a time.
Lightning Lane Single Pass allows you to choose a return time for some of the most in-demand attractions that are not available with Multi Pass. These currently include TRON Lightcycle / Run and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom Park, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.
Lightning Lane Premier Pass grants you one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane experience in one park for one day, including attractions that are offered as Lightning Lane Single Pass experiences. The best part is that you can ride the attractions whenever you choose, with no return time required.
You’re also visiting during the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, Deborah! EPCOT is at its prettiest during this time of year with fun Disney character topiaries and gorgeous, sprawling gardens. Not to mention all the fun menu items available at the Outdoor Kitchens across the park!
I hope this helps, Deborah! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan your visit, please don’t hesitate to come back and see us here at

See you real soon!
