Hi Emily!
Welcome to planDisney! As my friend Lightning McQueen would say, the new
Lightning Lane passes are the best way to enjoy your favorite attractions faster than faster and quicker than quick! Let’s take a quick pit stop to review when and how you can purchase!
Emily, Lightning Lane passes are releasing on July 24, 2024 and will be available to purchase beginning at 7:00 AM each day in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App. As a reminder, you’ll be able to make your pre-arrival selections and purchases seven days before your check-in date for the entire length of stay if you’re staying in a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel or three days ahead of your park visit if you’re staying elsewhere. Passes won’t be available until July 24 so if your trip is right around that date, your pre-arrival window to purchase may be a little shorter.
When visiting the parks, you'll have the option to purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Lightning Lane Single Pass. . .or both! Lightning Lane Multi Pass will allow you to select three available attractions from a single park during your pre-arrival window. Then, on the day of your visit, you can continue to select additional attractions (based on availability) as you use each of your Lightning Lane entries. If your ticket includes the
Park Hopper Option, you're additional same-day selections can be from any theme park. Lightning Lane Single Pass is an à la carte purchase for some of the most in-demand attractions around Walt Disney World Resort. You can choose to purchase up to two Lightning Lane Singe Passes per day, per Guest.
It's also important to note that
Virtual Queues continue to be an option for three rides as of right now - Tiana's Bayou Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and TRON Lightcycle / Run. The process of joining the Virtual Queue will remain the same with your first chance being at 7:00 AM each day you visit the parks.
Emily, I hope this information is helpful as you prepare for your next visit to Walt Disney World Resort! If you have any other questions, just race right back over here to planDisney!
See ya real soon!
