    I purchased a lightning lane and I’m having trouble understanding the time window. If it says 12:30-1:30 does that mean I can get on the ride anytime within that hour or do I need to be at the ride by 12:30?

    Hi, Robert, and thanks for stopping by planDisney! It sounds like you're knee-deep in the magic, so welcome to Walt Disney World Resort! I hope your visit is off to a Mickey-shaped start, so let's look at how return times work for Lightning Lanes.

    If you bought a Lightning Lane Single Pass, you chose a one-hour return window. You can scan into that experience anytime during the hour to ride the attraction. If you're park hopping or plan to leave the theme park for any reason, my top tip is to allow plenty of travel time to arrive at the attraction. You don't want to miss the fun! I also suggest taking a screenshot of your return time in case of technical glitches. You can also stop by Guest Relations in the park for assistance.

    Lightning Lane Multi Pass works the same way, except you won't have the option to choose a specific return window. I typically book the available window and then look for different times later in the day if the return time isn't what I want. You can also modify your purchased single pass experiences, so you have flexibility!

    My favorite attraction to purchase a single entry for is Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This whirling omni-coaster is the smoothest ride in the galaxy. I like to sit in the very front...or is it the very back? Either way, you'll have fun coming and going, and Lightning Lane will get you there faster.

    Robert, have a fabulous time this week at the Most Magical Place on Earth! And stop by planDisney anytime.

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
