Hey there, Robin!
Thanks for stopping by with your question. I'm happy to chat all things
Lightning Lane Passes so you're prepared for your upcoming visit.
It's great to hear you'll be staying on property. I've done the same for nearly every visit so I could take advantage of
complimentary transportation to the parks, and
book advance dining reservations for my length of stay. Like dining, guests of Disney Resorts Collection hotels will also have access to purchase Lighting Lane Passes for their length of stay and can even begin purchasing ahead of off-site guests, up to 7 days before their check-in date.
My next visit's
Lightning Lane purchase window is just a few days away, but I've already had the chance to walk through the system for a preview. I went ahead and reviewed the upcoming calendar, and I can see clickable dates available through September 16 at this time. This does not mean that the remainder of the month is already sold out, it just means that those dates aren't yet available to purchase. In fact, I'm not even eligible to purchase that far out yet since I'm still outside of my 7-day advance check-in window. Guests checking in on September 2 can begin purchasing today, but only those with a 14-night stay will be able to access the furthest dates on the calendar at this time.
It's a good idea to
review pricing leading up to your purchase period so you're prepared when the time comes. While you might not see availability for every attraction and every time slot when your booking window opens, I would be very surprised if all Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Passes were unavailable. Keep in mind that you can modify your initial selections, subject to availability, after booking. I'll cross my fingers that you'll be able to craft your perfect park day!
Robin, if you need suggestions on what to see, eat, and do during your September visit please come back and let us know. We'd be happy to offer more tips for maximizing the magic during your trip.
Magic and memories,
Amy
