    How far in advance can I purchase multi and single lightning passes?

    Hey there, Debora!

    We're so glad you stopped by planDisney with your question. I'm happy to chat about Lightning Lane Passes ahead of your visit next week.

    I see your arrival date listed as February 10, 2026. If you have a reservation at an eligible resort, you can begin purchasing and planning your attraction arrival windows on February 3 (tomorrow!) at 7 am EST, which would be 7 days ahead of your check-in date. 

    If you are not staying at a Disney Resort hotel, Shades of Green Resort, or the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, Swan Hotel, or Swan Reserve, you can begin purchasing 3 days ahead of your ticket start date. If you have a multi-day date-based ticket, you can purchase Multi or Single Pass selections for your length of admission at the 3-day mark. If you are visiting with an Annual Pass or other ticket type, you can purchase 3 days ahead of each visit, one day at a time.

    My family often purchases Multi Pass for our Magic Kingdom Park visits, as it has the most Lightning Lane attractions available. We typically also purchase a Single Pass for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT (our favorite ride at Disney World), and have purchased rides for TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom and Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, depending on our priorities for that particular trip. Keep in mind that you can purchase up to Single Pass selections per day in addition to or instead of Multi Pass for each day of your visit.

    We've also skipped purchasing passes altogether on visits where we plan to get an early start and stay until closing. As on-site guests, we've found that utilizing Early Entry combined with Extended Evening Theme Park Hours (for guests of Deluxe Resorts on select days) helps us check off all the must-do items on our list without the extra expense (but with plenty of magical steps and hours logged).

    Debora, if you need additional guidance or recommendations for your Lightning Lane selections, please come back and let us know. We're always happy to share our best tips.

    Magic and memories,
    Amy
