Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

[Fido Chuckwagon]

What does ‘tiers in all parks’ mean? Is that like the old system where you couldn’t preselect only the top rides?

Correct.

Yes!

 

[easyrowrdw]

Yes!

It's back to being free??!!!

 

[Dranth]

Is anyone else REALLY hoping it isn't prebooking anymore than the first ride of the day?

I'd take being able to purchase ahead of time as well.

should we be ready quickly or do I have time to take a shower first?

 

[wdwmagic]

Negative on that one!

 

[Splash4eva]

Is there going to be special treatment for those staying at certain hotels or is Disney gonna treat all resort guests equal here?

 

[easyrowrdw]

Negative on that one!

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Joel]

Negative on that one!

Even better, they're getting rid of the LL altogether! Standby for everyone!

The official announcement is out:

Here’s how Lightning Lane passes will work beginning July 24.

Lightning Lane Multi Pass 

When you purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. You’ll also be able to choose available times as you make your selections.

On the day of your visit, once you use a selection, check the My Disney Experience app for availability to make an additional selection.

Lightning Lane Single Pass ​

Lightning Lane Single Pass will work much like it does today, where you can secure a time to ride one of our most highly demanded attractions, but you’ll now be able to make your purchase and plan in advance.  

How to Plan Ahead​

Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels will be able to plan Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days in advance, for their entire stay (up to 14 days). All other guests can plan up to 3 days in advance.

These advance purchase windows will let guests secure some of their must-do rides and experiences after they’ve had some time to decide what dining reservations they want to book and any other plans they may need to consider.

Guests may purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, a Lightning Lane Single Pass or both. The app will also be updated to make it quicker and easier to purchase and plan, with fewer steps and a new option to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass in one transaction.

Lightning Lane passes will blend features from our current services and the previously offered FastPass+ service, giving guests the choice to plan ahead and removing the hassle of planning during their vacation.

To dive into even more details, visit our website for the latest information on how to purchase, select and use your Lightning Lane passes.

Updates Coming to Lightning Lane Entry at Walt Disney World

This summer, changes are coming to the Disney Genie+ service and individual Lightning Lane entry, including new ways to plan ahead.

Essentially a rebrand and adding purchase/book in advance.

If I read it right it replaces it. It's been renamed "Lightning Lane Multi Pass".

Anyone notice what’s missing?

My question is, how are additional selections going to work with Park Hopping and APs?
