Hey there, Hi there, Ho there, Melissa!
Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for stopping by. Congratulations! You have an upcoming Walt Disney World vacation. The best part is, it’s during the holiday season. You’ll get to see sprinkles of holiday magic during the merriest season spread out across Walt Disney World Resort. My family’s favorite part of all if it, are the seasonal offerings that make their holiday debut. Keep an eye out for the Disney Parks Blog to announce all of the new and delicious treats. Trust me, they are worth it.
Guests staying at Disney Resort Hotels and other select hotels can purchase Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance of their stay. The other select hotels include:
Unfortunately, your existing reservation isn’t one of the eligible hotels. The good news is, Guests not staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, or other select hotels, can purchase Lightning Lane passes 3 days in advance. You'll want to mark this date in your calendar or set a reminder, as this is when you will be able to purchase and make your selections.
Since you will be visiting during the holidays, you might also want to consider purchasing tickets to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. It’s the merriest celebration of them all! My little ones have no idea, but my husband and I are surprising them with a visit during this season and a trip to the party. It will be their first one ever!
Melissa, I hope this helps answer your question. Have a great trip, and please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help make this trip even more enchanting.
Magical Memories,
Shantel
