Welcome to planDisney Susan! Thank you for reaching out with your question. How exciting that your family is planning a magical day at
Walt Disney World! I’d be happy to help you understand how Lightning Lane passes work so that everyone in your group can enjoy the rides they love, even if each of you has different favorites.
You can absolutely purchase
Lightning Lane passes for each member of your party and select different rides for different people. The system is designed to be flexible so that everyone can enjoy the attractions they want without being forced to ride everything together. When you go to make a Lightning Lane selection in the
My Disney Experience app, it will first ask you which members of your group you want to include in that particular selection. You can choose all four of you together if you want to ride the same attraction, or you can select just a subset of the group for a different ride.
For example, if you and your spouse want to enjoy more relaxed rides or rides aimed at adults, you can reserve those for just the two of you, while your son and grandson can select more thrilling attractions like roller coasters. Each Lightning Lane reservation is tied to the specific people you select, so the system keeps it organized and separate. This way, your group doesn’t have to compromise, and everyone can make the most of their day.
The key is to pay attention when making the selections in the app. As long as you carefully select who the reservation is for, you can have completely different rides reserved at the same time for different members of your party. Later, if you decide you want to ride together, you can just choose the same attraction for everyone. The flexibility of the Lightning Lane system makes it really convenient for families or multi-generational groups with varied interests.
Susan, I hope this helps you feel excited and ready to make the most of your Disney World visit, knowing that everyone in your family can enjoy the rides they love. Thank you so much for reaching out to planDisney with your question. Wishing you and your loved ones a magical vacation full of laughter, unforgettable moments, and plenty of Disney enchantment every step of the way!
