    Hi there, We have a split stay coming up next week and I’m wondering how that works with the lightening lane window? Is there a way to link the two reservations so I can book lightening lanes for the entire trip instead of just the first part of our stay?

    Welcome to planDisney, Cassie! Thanks for stopping by with your question about Lightning Lane Multi Pass - this is one of my favorite ways to experience more attractions with less waiting! It looks like you're already in your booking window to make your advance selections, so let's get right to your question to get you a lightning-fast answer!

    Cassie, the great news is that if both of your resort reservations are linked to your My Disney Experience account and they are back-to-back with no breaks in between, you can book your Lightning Lane Passes for the duration of your split stay on your first eligible day (which is 7 days ahead of your check-in at your first Disney Resort hotel!) You may have already started to book them since you're in your window now, but here are a few tips to make the most of this magical perk:

    • Choose to stack some of the most popular and hard-to-get attractions towards the end of your trip so you'll be booking extra days out ahead of other guests
    • Try to book at least one of your advance selections for close to park opening time; this will allow you to grab another attraction early in the day once you've tapped into your first selection
    • If you're park hopping, remember that once you tap in, you're able to select an available attraction at any of the four theme parks; you are not limited to the original theme park you selected when pre-booking
    Cassie, I hope this helps and I hope you can get all of the Lightning Lane Passes you are hoping for! If you have any other questions before your visit next week, feel free to come see us again at planDisney

    Ka'Chow,
    Alison
