Welcome to planDisney, Amy!
Thank you for stopping by with your question, and from all of us at planDisney, thank you for your family's service! I am happy to report that all Guests staying at
Disney Resort hotels, the Walt Disney World Swan/Dolphin Hotels, the Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green Resort can begin purchasing
Lightning Lane Passes seven days before checking in! With Lightning Lane, you will be able to make your reservations for your entire length of stay too! Also, as a Deluxe Resort Guest, you will not only be able to participate in
Extended Evening Hours (when available) at select theme parks, beginning January 1, 2025, Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels will also get
admission to a Disney Water Park on their check-in day! We've got ears, say cheers!
Once Walt Disney World Resort renews the Disney Military Salute for 2025, I recommend purchasing your tickets immediately. The renewal typically happens in the late fall, so be sure to follow
@disneyparks on Instagram for the latest updates, as well as check
The Disney Parks Blog! Once you link your tickets and arrive at Walt Disney World, visit the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs or Guest Relations on your first theme park day to activate them with a military ID. Be sure to ask about the military discount for Memory Maker too!
Amy, I hope all of this information was helpful! Thank you again for stopping by planDisney. If you need additional pixie dust to plan your visit, you can
send me questions directly! You've got a friend in me!
Magic Awaits!
