It looks like lightning can strike twice in the same place because you've returned to planDisney with a great question, Kerri! Planning your Lightning Lane strategy for your upcoming visit is so exciting, and I see you're looking to divide and conquer once your reservation window opens. I'd be happy to assist you in maximizing your
Lightning Lane purchase.
Since you've mentioned a reservation in your question, I assume you will be staying in a Disney Resort hotel during your visit. If so, this allows you to
purchase and book your Lightning Lanes 7 days before arrival for the length of your stay starting at 7 AM Eastern Time. This is a great perk because all other guests must wait until 3 days before their park visit. I want to remind you to make sure all tickets are purchased and linked, and connect anyone who will be in your travel party to your
Family & Friends list in the My Disney Experience app. Completing these steps will ensure seamless booking of attractions for all guests who wish to ride on your Magic Kingdom and EPCOT days.
Now, let's get to the heart of your question. I am happy to report that yes, more than one person can book attractions for the group when your reservation window opens. I think you have a smart strategy of having one person tackle each park. This will allow you to focus on return times and build your itinerary around any other reservations you may have for
dining or
Enchanting Extras.
There are a few other important details to keep in mind as you feverishly tap the screen when your booking window opens. You may select a Tier 1 attraction and two Tier 2 attractions per park for pre-booking, and you can view the list of attractions and tiers on the Lightning Lane page under
"Attractions & Experiences." You will notice that the most in-demand attractions will require an additional purchase of Lightning Lane Single Pass in order to lower the amount of time spent waiting in line, but you can always use the standby queue for those rides. Finally, don't forget that you can modify your Lightning Lane reservations to change the time slot or switch to another attraction, if available.
