Howdy, Allison!
It is great to have you here at planDisney with your question about the new
Lightning Lane passes. With the new passes just recently becoming available, there are so many Guests like you wanting to find out all the details and begin planning their magical vacations. You've come to the right place, so let's get started should we?
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass are available for purchase 7 days prior to arrival for Guests staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel and other select hotels. For all other Guests, it is 3 days prior to your visit, so there is quite a bit of benefit to staying onsite. Although the calendar will show dates earlier than this, you will not be able to complete the purchase until this time. You can begin making selections at 7:00 AM (EST) and as you begin the purchase process, it will even show what date and time you are able to begin.
I also want to share a few extra tips that I have learned about Lightning Lane Multi Pass. When you select your first 3 experiences and arrival windows at the time of purchase, you'll have to make the same selections for everyone in your party. However, once the purchase is complete, you'll be able to modify each Guest's choices and select other multi pass experiences or arrival windows (subject to availability.) This gives your travel party flexibility—so you can share all the same Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections or enjoy different experiences. Also, once you have redeemed your first experience, you can use the
My Disney Experience mobile app to check availability for another Lightning Lane Multi Pass experience and, if available, add it to your plans. If you have a ticket that includes the Park Hopper Option, you can even begin selecting additional multi pass experiences from another park! (Subject to availability.)
Happy planning, Allison! If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know. Have an incredible vacation!
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
