    I purchase a Guardians of the Galaxy lightning lane for my birthday trip, but the only time was 3:40-4. We have several toddlers who will be with us and need to leave the park early than this for naps. Are we able to use our lightning lane earlier?

    Welcome to planDisney, Catherine! I'm always excited to talk about one of my favorite thrills at the Walt Disney World Resort - Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a truly out-of-this-world attraction that pushes the limits of saving the galaxy while immersing guests in an intergalactic adventure.

    Catherine, by purchasing a Lightning Lane Single Pass for this attraction, you've crossed the first jump point to unlock this adventure! In my experience, though, Cast Members do not accommodate early return times for Lightning Lane entry. While this might not be what you were hoping to hear, I do have a few recommendations that might help you to better align your plans:
    • Remember that your Lightning Lane Single Pass does have a valid time of one hour; you can always return to the attraction towards the very end of your time window, and often Cast Members will give you an additional grace period of 5-10 minutes in case you are running late. Maybe scheduling a nap time to ensure you're back in the park at the end of your window could be an option.
    • You can always try to modify your return time through the My Disney Experience mobile app, all the way up to your return window. As other guests change their plans, new time slots might become available that work better with your schedule.
    • In the event that you do miss your return time, I'd recommend stopping by Guest Relations once you return to the park or looking for Cast Members who are part of the Guest Experiences team (you can spot them near blue umbrellas close to many popular attractions, including Guardians of the Galaxy). This team specializes in assisting guests with issues related to Lightning Lanes and the My Disney Experience mobile app.
    Catherine, I hope this helps! One Way or Another, I hope you will find yourself swirling through the galaxy, navigating all of the jump points on your quest; we're counting on you here at planDisney!

    See you real soon,
    Alison
