Hiya Martin,
Welcome to planDisney! I’m sorry you are getting conflicting information about Multi-Pass and Lightning Lanes. That can certainly make planning a bit of a challenge! Let’s see if I can help.
According to the
website, Guests from the UK are not able to book Multi-Pass selections until they arrive in the United States for their vacations. But since you mentioned you were getting conflicting information, I chatted with my panelist pal,
Emma from the UK, to get her experience as well. Emma just recently traveled to Walt Disney World Resort and mentioned that she was able to purchase her Multi-Pass and book experiences 7 days in advance of her trip from the UK. If it were me, Martin, I would plan as though I couldn’t book my selections until I arrived, but still try to purchase 7 days in advance of my trip just in case. This way, I didn’t miss my opportunity to get reservations for my top attractions, but I also wasn’t too disappointed if it didn’t work.
I hope this was helpful, Martin. I know we are less than a year away from your arrival, but there is still quite a bit of time between here and April 2026. I recommend checking the website (or coming back to visit
us) early next year to see if anything has changed before your visit. That way, you can be best prepared for your visit!
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
