    I have a room-only reservation at GF in May for my daughter and me. Our park tickets will be purchased as part of her dance competition package. I will link tix via MDE. Will we still be able to make LL reservations 7 days before our GF check-in date?

    Hi Kristin!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney! I have the BEST memories of competing with my dance team at Disney, and I’m so excited your daughter will be doing the same in a few months. I bet she’s been putting in a ton of hard work to get ready for it!

    Since the two of you will be staying at a Disney World resort, I’m happy to let you know that you’ll be able to book your Lightning Lane pre-selections beginning at 7 AM Eastern, 7 days prior to your check-in date for your entire trip. 

    As you mentioned, just make sure your tickets are linked to your My Disney Experience account. Plus, depending on your ticket type, you might also need park reservations. If you happen to have a ticket type that requires park reservations, make those prior to your Lightning Lane booking window opening to ensure it all goes smoothly. 

    If you’re looking for a special way to unwind after the competition, Grand Floridian is one of the few resorts that offers pool cabana rentals to their guests. We had such a great experience when we rented one there on a recent trip that we’re already making plans to do it again on our next trip! Reservations open 60 days prior to your check-in date, and I recommend calling as soon as that day comes to snag one. 

    Good luck to your daughter and her team! Feel free to come back to visit us with any other questions as you continue to plan for such a fun trip!
