Hi Elizabeth! Welcome to planDisney!
Your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation is right around the corner! With just over a month until you arrive on-site, you have countless experiences to look forward to. Let's jump right into your question and help you get set for a magical stay.
You'll be happy to know that if you have a valid theme park admission, you can purchase
Lightning Lane Premier Pass ahead of your arrival. If you're staying in a Disney Resort hotel or other select hotels, you can do so seven days in advance, while all other Guests can make this purchase three days before. With date-based tickets, you will not need theme park reservations at this time. Simply log on to your
My Disney Experience account when you are ready to purchase, and the system will recognize that you have park tickets. This will allow you to complete the purchase for the park you wish to visit on that day.
Utilizing Lightning Lane Premier Pass is the best way to maximize your day at the parks, while also taking a more relaxed approach. Since you can access Lightning Lanes throughout the day at your leisure, you won't be tied to a specific time you need to return to each attraction. This will give you a chance to form a strategic plan to explore the park and allow you to not criss-cross back and forth too often.
Elizabeth, I hope you have a magical time during your stay!
Stop back and see us any time at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
