Hey there Ryan!
For your upcoming trip, it sounds like you’re all set to experience some of the exciting new features with the updated Lightning Lane system at Walt Disney World! Let me break it down for you:
Walt Disney World now offers two types of
Lightning Lane options: the Lightning Lane Multipass and the Lightning Lane Singlepass. The Multipass allows you to book multiple attractions at once, while the Singlepass lets you book individual attractions such as
TRON Lightcycle / Run,
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and more.
Since you and one other guest are staying at a
Disney Resort hotel, you’ll be able to book your Lightning Lanes 7 days before your arrival date. This applies to both the Multipass and Singlepass options, giving you early access to secure your spot for popular attractions.
For the two members of your party who are local and not staying on Disney property, they’ll have the opportunity to book their Lightning Lanes 3 days before their Theme Park visit. If these guests were added to your reservation, they’d benefit from the same 7-day booking window as you, allowing all of you to plan together with ease.
I hope this helps you navigate the new system and plan your magical days at the parks! Wishing you all a wonderful time filled with unforgettable memories!
