Hiya Heather, Welcome to planDisney! Thank you for stopping by with your excellent question. I'm thrilled to assist you! How exciting that you're planning a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort! You are sure to make awesome memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
I am so excited about the new
Lightning Lane Passes! Heather, as you know, Lightning Lane Multi Pass has replaced Disney Genie+ service, and Lightning Lane Single Pass has replaced individual “à la carte” Lightning Lane entry. This new system allows you to purchase Lightning Lane passes and make your selections well in advance of your arrival, giving you more time to plan and enjoy your visit!
Guests of Disney Resort hotels and other select hotels can purchase passes up to 7 days in advance of their stay. If everyone in your party is on the same reservation but arriving on different days, the members arriving first will be able to book passes for the entire group. However, if the members arriving later have their own separate reservation, they'll only be able to purchase passes 7 days in advance of their check-in date.
Heather, I hope you find this information helpful as you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Thank you again for visiting
planDisney. Have a magical day!
Kay
