Hey Michele! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited to help you with your first question about the new Lightning Lane passes. Even though changes can feel a bit overwhelming at first, as a long-time guest of the
Walt Disney World Resort, I genuinely believe that the new Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass will be a fantastic addition to our planning tools, helping us make the most of our trip. I can't wait for July 24, 2024, to roll around so I can start enjoying this new program's perks.
I know you're gearing up for a trip in August, and I can imagine how thrilled you must be to soak up all the magic. You will be happy to know that Canadian guests may continue to use the My Disney Experience app after the launch of pre-arrival purchasing and planning for
Lightning Lane passes. Isn't that fantastic?
A couple more important points to remember: Guests of
Disney Resort hotels and other select hotels can purchase passes up to 7 days in advance of their stay—and other Guests can purchase passes up to 3 days in advance of their park visit, starting at 7:00 AM Eastern Time on their first day of eligibility. This flexibility and convenience will surely make your trip planning easier.
Oh, and here's something else to get excited about: when you purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you'll get digital downloads of select attraction photos and videos captured with Disney PhotoPass Service and access to exclusive Disney PhotoPass Lenses. It sounds like a lot of fun!
I hope this info is helpful for you, Michele. Don't hesitate
to reach out if you have more questions. We're always here to help friends like you!
Cheers
Nilson
