    I will be staying at a WDW resort so I can make Lightning Lane purchases 7 days in advance. What time of day does the window to purchase Lightening Lanes open?

    Welcome to planDisney, Lois!

    There’s no place quite like Walt Disney World when it comes to world-class attractions and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker eager to conquer iconic coasters, a family looking for magical moments with favorite characters, or someone who simply enjoys the immersive storytelling of each land, Walt Disney World truly has something for everyone. Best of all, the parks are designed to accommodate Guests of all ages and comfort levels, ensuring that everyone can make the most of their visit. It's one of the reasons we love to bring our little kids, knowing that everyone in the family will have a magical time.

    To help maximize your time in the parks, Disney offers Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, allowing Guests to skip regular standby lines by selecting return times for various attractions. While these passes require an additional purchase, the time saved makes them well worth it! Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and select partner hotels can purchase passes up to 7 days before their stay, whilst all other Guests can buy them up to 3 days before their park visit. This early access is a major perk of staying onsite, increasing your chances of securing spots for the most popular attractions. Passes become available for purchase starting at 7:00 AM (ET) each day.

    I hope that's helpful, Lois! If you need any more advice or recommendations, you have a friend in me.
