Welcome to planDisney, Cheri!
Wow! More than two weeks in The Most Magical Place on Earth! That is, as a fellow Disney Lizzie would say, what dreams are made of!
Purchasing Lightning Lane passes is a great way to make the most of your days in the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks. It's more magic with less wait! As you mentioned, these passes can be purchased by Guests of Disney Resort hotels 7 days before check-in for a length of stay up to 14 days. Since your stay exceeds the 14-day window, you will simply need to wait one day to make Lightning Lane purchases for the final day of your vacation. This means you could purchase Lightning Lane passes for days 1 - 14 of your vacation 7 days before your arrival, while passes for day 15 would be available for purchase 6 days in advance. Please keep in mind that policies are always subject to change, so I would recommend verifying again closer to your 7-day purchase window.
With so many days at The Most Magical Place on Earth on the horizon, Cheri, I encourage you to take some time to explore all that Walt Disney World Resort has to offer outside of the theme parks. My husband and I recently enjoyed a vacation that featured a leisurely day at our resort, a
boat cruise down the Sassagoula River, shopping at
Disney Springs, and several rounds of
miniature golf. While looking at our photos my mom exclaimed, "I didn't know that you could do all of that at Walt Disney World!"
I hope this was helpful, Cheri, and that your upcoming vacation is filled with magical moments. If you are in need of further assistance, feel free to
stop back by. I'm always happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
