Hello there, Sue!
A warm welcome to planDisney and thank you for bringing us a fantastic
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question.
Oh boy! You're set to arrive in The Most Magical Place on Earth
today. The wait is over and your enchanting escape is ready to begin! I'd be happy to help you understand your options for minimizing your attraction wait times while maximizing the magic during your holiday.
Sue, at the time of writing, it is highly recommended that international Guests (including those traveling from the U.K.) wait until they arrive stateside to purchase
Lightning Lane passes to ensure the best experience possible. Therefore, I encourage you to download the My Disney Experience mobile app once you arrive in the U.S. to begin making your Lightning Lane pass selections as soon as possible! Between Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Single Pass, and
Premier Pass (only available to eligible Guests at this time), you'll be able to zip through attraction queues and experience countless thrills throughout your vacation. Remember, some attractions are available via
virtual queue as well, so set your alarm clock for 7:00 a.m. to secure those experiences, if interested! Virtual queue spots are also offered at 1:00 p.m. to Guests inside the theme park that houses the respective attraction.
I hope this information helps you to prepare for a thrill-filled holiday, Sue! I'm wishing you safe travels and a lovely getaway at the Walt Disney World Resort. If you have any additional questions throughout your stay, you may always revisit us here at
planDisney. We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Warm wishes,
Lauren
