Hiya, Carla! Welcome back to planDisney. I'm thrilled you have made a friend in us and invited us to be a part of planning your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Art of Animation is one of my favorite resorts! The theming with so many movies and characters I adore makes this place so special and fun. Add the
Disney Skyliner to the landscape, and you know why this resort is so beloved. You are going to love being here!
After all the planning, your vacation is getting so close. You must be getting so excited! Let's talk about the
Lightning Lane Multi Pass so you feel confident about buying and using them to enjoy shorter wait times at
Walt Disney World.
Since you are staying at Art of Animation, you can purchase Lightning Lane passes seven days before your arrival date for any day in your trip.
Seven days before you arrive (or any day afterwards), you can buy a pass on the
My Disney Experience app's home screen. Click "Purchase" on the "Lightning Lane Multi Pass / Single Pass" tile. Select the date, theme park, type of pass (Multi Pass for the park or Single Pass for specific attractions), eligible Guests to include, and three attractions. The app will display the attractions and their return times. You can just follow the prompts to accept or modify the times and complete your purchase.
Each theme park has a list of attractions that have a Lightning Lane entry. Attractions at the
Magic Kingdom,
EPCOT and
Hollywood Studios are divided into two groups. You can pick one from one group and two (or all three) from the other. Included experiences in
Animal Kingdom are grouped together. The app makes this easy, showing you the attractions and how many you can pick from each group.
Lightning Lane passes have a return time, which you can see on the app by checking "My Day" from the home screen. When it's your time, head to the attraction and go through the "Lightning Lane" entrance. You will need to scan your
MagicBand+,
Disney MagicMobile pass, or the physical card linked to your account, which you use to enter your hotel room and the theme parks.
Once you have used a Lightning Lane pass, you can select another experience from any available. This includes attractions in either group, or, with your Park Hopper ticket, any of the theme parks.
Carla, I hope this information helps you speed through the lines at Walt Disney World Resort and your trip is sprinkled with Pixie Dust and core memories. If you have any other questions, you know we are always happy to see you at
planDisney!
See 'Ya Real Soon!
