Hi Hannah!
Welcome to planDisney! I’m glad you thought of us when you had a question about your upcoming Disney vacation. I’m sure you’re excited to visit The Most Magical Place on Earth soon!
As a Disney Resort Guest, you can
purchase your Lightning Lane Passes up to 7 days before your arrival. According to the check-in date you provided, your purchase window will open on December 30th at 7:00 AM Eastern time. Did you know that you can
preview the prices for Lightning Lanes within the My Disney Experience app? When you click on the Lightning Lane Multi Pass/Single Pass banner, you can select your date and theme park. Then you’ll see prices for Multi Passes and Single Passes for that park and date. If you make a selection and click “Continue,” you’ll be asked which Guests are included in your purchase. On this page, you’ll see when each Guest is eligible to purchase Lightning Lane Passes for that date. To purchase Lightning Lanes for other Guests, they must have valid theme park admission and be within their purchase window. The system will not allow you to select Guests who are not eligible for Lightning Lane purchase at that time.
I hope this helps, Hannah. Now is also the time to start charging your
MagicBand+, which you can use to
enter your Disney Resort room once it is ready! If you have any more questions as you prepare for your vacation, please send them our way at
planDisney!
