Hello Loren!
Welcome to planDisney!
Lightning Lane Multi Pass is such a great tool for reducing wait times at Walt Disney World Resort. I love that before I even arrive, I have three attractions already set up for me to enjoy. It helps to have things arranged beforehand so I can plan my day better.
The timing for purchasing this pass and the Lightning Lane Single Pass can be confusing. If you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel you can purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass 7 days before you arrive at 7 am. If you are not staying at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel then you can purchase it 3 days before at 7 am. The entire process of making selections regarding attractions will not work until 7 am. You will find that you can pick the date, the Park, and the type of Pass but you won't be able to select the eligible guests or party. You will be stopped at this screen which is right before where you select attractions. When you become eligible at 7 am the entire process opens up for you and you can then make your attraction selections and check out. I suggest having an idea about what attractions you want to do and when you would prefer to enjoy them. I know that my family did not want to ride
Tiana's Bayou Adventure late at night as we did not want to be wet in the evening. (Yes, you will get wet on this ride, especially if you are seated near the front.) Before you make your purchases make sure that your tickets are properly linked to everyone in your Party and that they are all linked to your
Family & Friends List. If a
Theme Park Reservation is needed make sure to have made those as well. You purchase the passes and make your plans for each day of your trip so there might be multiple purchases made.
I'm so excited that you will be soon in the Magic! I hope you make sure to enjoy the holiday decorations, seasonal treats, and souvenirs! It's a special time of year!
Happy Planning!
