Hi there, Ashley!
Thanks for sending your question to us. At
planDisney, we're delighted to help make your Disney adventure is as magical as possible. Let's talk about your upcoming stay at the Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista!
Ashley, as a Disney Springs Area Resort guest, you ARE eligible for
Early Theme Park Entry. My family of early risers loves this perk, and we take advantage of it every day of our vacations. Be sure to link your reservation to My Disney Experience so the theme park Cast Members can confirm your eligibility. Typically, all visitors enter a theme park through the same entrance, and there is a checkpoint for resort guests utilizing Early Theme Park Entry. Have your reservation ready to present, and you'll be on your way to enjoying extra time at select attractions.
If you want to purchase
Lightning Lane passes, you can do so beginning at 7 AM, three days before your ticket start date. I used Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass on a recent trip, and two aspects of this new offering especially stood out to me. First, I liked having three experienced booked simultaneously throughout the day. After redeeming my first selection, I immediately booked another (when available) and loved having multiple attractions planned at a time. With the "rolling" extra selections, I let my children take turns choosing our next reservation, and they were thrilled to map out our itinerary as the day progressed.
The other thing we noticed was how easy it was to park hop. We started one day in
EPCOT but wanted to spend that evening in
Disney's Hollywood Studios. After using our first Lightning Lane entry, we scored a late afternoon return window for
Toy Story Mania, a family favorite. After redeeming our other EPCOT selections, we secured Lightning Lane entries for
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway. When we arrived at Disney's Hollywood Studios, we could bypass the standby queue for three attractions! Your mileage may vary, and six Lightning Lane entries was certainly a lot for one day, but Lightning Lane Multi Pass was great for us when park hopping.
I hope this is helpful and you have a fantastic time on your fall getaway. Please write back to us if there is anything else we can do to make it even more memorable. Thanks again for stopping by, and have a magical day!
