Hi there, Melanie, and welcome to planDisney! I’m thrilled you’re here today with this awesome question about your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation! It’s coming up so soon, and I bet you’re getting so excited!
Melanie, it sounds like you’re gearing up for a stay at the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. You’ll love being within walking distance to
EPCOT! While your admission doesn’t include Lightning Lane passes, you’re welcome to purchase those
seven days before you check in. There are three options for Lightning Lanes, so be sure to get familiar with them before you arrive.
Lightning Lane Single Pass is available for a few select attractions at the Disney Theme Parks. These attractions are typically the most in-demand, so having a Lightning Lane pass for them can save you lots of time in line.
Lightning Lane Multi Pass is available for a broader selection of attractions at the parks. You will start out by booking three of these, and then you can select more as you begin using them during your visit.
Lightning Lane Premier Pass is a game-changing way to experience attractions at Walt Disney World Resort. This unique offering allows you to experience each eligible attraction by using the Lightning Lane once per day without having to choose a time in advance.
Please keep in mind that all Lightning Lane options are subject to availability, and pricing fluctuates from day to day. Standby queues are a great option for those who want to be more spontaneous and who don’t mind a bit of a line. Arriving early is a great way to get a head start on the crowds!
Melanie, I hope this is helpful to you as you continue to plan your vacation! Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have. If you need recommendations on amazing attractions to add to your must-do list, you have a friend in me!
See ya real soon!
Jennifer
