Welcome to planDisney, Jennifer. I'm happy to answer your question today!
Once you've connected to your son's friend through the
My Family & Friends list, you should be able to purchase and reserve Lightning Lanes for them through
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass starting at 7 a.m. 3 days ahead of the start of their ticket. If you haven't made reservations yet, you can make them for everyone together 3 days out. If you have already made
your reservations 7 days ahead, you can try to make their reservations match yours or try to modify them all to match theirs once you're 3 days ahead. At this time, once the service has been purchased and you have made your initial selections, you can modify the times, group configurations, or the attractions themselves (subject to availability). Just note that availability changes often as more people make reservations and others adjust theirs.
Remember, with this new system, once you redeem your first Lightning Lane, you can currently book another. So the earlier you redeem your first reservation, the sooner you can hold another reservation. And like I said earlier, as long as everyone is connected through the My Family & Friends List, you should be able to select everyone in your party. And be sure to check the
My Disney Experience mobile app frequently as availability can change at any time. If Guests cancel them, they are usually made available for others with fast fingers. Often, I will browse availability and make modifications while waiting in a line or, preferably, sitting in a cozy spot...like in the newly opened
CommuniCore Hall!
Jennifer, best wishes for an amazing trip. If you have any other questions,
please reach out again!
Being brave doesn't mean you go looking for trouble,Matt
