Hello and welcome to planDisney, Donna!
Thank you for taking the time to send us a question. You must be excited about
celebrating the merriest season of the year at the Walt Disney World Resort in just a few weeks!
I am happy to hear you have added Disney Genie+ to your tickets. This fantastic service will help you make the most of your day while visiting the theme parks. I am happy to share that all Guests can make one Lightning Lane selection at a time beginning at 7:00 AM on the date of their visit. If your tickets include Park Hopper option, you will be able to select Lightning Lane arrival windows across multiple parks.
Please note, however, that only Guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, and other select hotels, can make their first individual
Lightning Lane purchase starting at 7:00 AM on the day of their visit. All other Guests are allowed to make their first purchase when the park opens.
planDisney tip: Always remember to keep the updated version of the
My Disney Experience app on your mobile device.
I hope this information is helpful, Donna! Stop by real soon if you have additional questions and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
