Hello there Andrew,
Welcome to planDisney! Sounds like you've got a wonderful vacation planned at Walt Disney World this summer. Woo hoo! I believe your travel dates are going to line up perfectly in order for you to purchase Lightening Lane passes.
Booking through the UK Disney site should not affect your ability to purchase Lightning Lane passes once you arrive in the U.S. As a Disney resort guest staying at the gorgeous Wilderness Lodge, your eligibility to book
Lightning Lane passes will begin 7 days prior to your check-in date. The schedule you described is perfect! That means the day you arrive in the U.S. you will want to log on to
My Disney Experience app and make your selections, starting at 7:00 am Eastern Time. You should have excellent availability, and at that time you'll be able to purchase Lightning Lane passes for the duration of your 14 day stay. Another woo hoo!
My family LOVES using the slick Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and I think you'll really love it too. With the time it saves us by skipping the stand by lines on our favorite attractions... it just feel like our park day is more relaxing and enjoyable overall.
My tip --> When using the Multi Pass, select at least one early return time. As soon as you tap in to that attraction, immediate log on to your My Disney Experience app and select another LL pass. Plus those additional, same day passes you grab do not have any "tier" restrictions!
One other tip--> Did you know as a 2025 Disney Resort guest, your entire party will receive FREE admission to a water park on your check-in date? Whether it's
Blizzard Beach or
Typhoon Lagoon, I hope you're able to take advantage of this awesome perk, as you'll be visiting during the perfect season for this!
I hope you have a magical stay at Walt Disney World, Andrew! Please
let me know if I can help with any other pixie-dusted tips or recommendations.
See ya real soon,
Tami
