Hi there, Michelle!
Welcome to
planDisney! Thanks for stopping by as you prepare to journey into the big blue world with Nemo, through the Pride Lands with Simba, or along Route 66 with Lightning McQueen. No matter where you call home at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort, the magic of the themed family suites will draw you in for a memorable stay. Let's discuss vacationing with a group with various ticketing needs.
To make your plans work, you should reserve your resort stay as a room-only reservation. Check if
this or any other
special offers work for your travel dates. Once your suite is booked, you and your sister can purchase two sets of
tickets in separate transactions (one for your 3-day Ticket with Park Hopping and another for your sister's family's 2-day standard tickets) and assign them accordingly in My Disney Experience. When you book a room-only stay, everyone can have different tickets, unlike when you reserve a vacation package.
I hope this is helpful and you have a fantastic time with your family next month. If you're interested in purchasing
Lightning Lane passes, remember to do so beginning 7 days before your check-in day. My family loved having a few of our favorite attractions reserved before arriving for our trip earlier this month. While the advance purchase opportunity is a nice
perk, we also found decent same-day availability. We secured a few Lightning Lane Single Passes just a few hours before their return windows opened. Spontaneity is still possible, even during a carefully planned vacation!
Thanks again for visiting us at planDisney, Michelle. Please give us a shout if there's anything else we can do to make your grand getaway even more fabulous and have a magical day!
