How the Lightning Lane Booking Window Works
For Disney Resort Guests
- Booking opens 7 days before check-in at 7:00 AM Eastern Time.
- You can reserve Lightning Lane Multi Passes and Single Passes for your entire stay (up to 14 days).
- Applies to Disney Resort hotels, Swan, Dolphin, Swan Reserve, and Shades of Green.
For Off-Site Guests

Tip for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 visitors:
During Daylight Saving Time, Puerto Rico and Eastern Time are the same. In winter months, add +1 hour to convert.
Which Lightning Lanes Sell Out Fast?
For Disney Resort Guests
Not all rides are equal. When your Lightning Lane booking window opens, prioritize the following attractions first:
- Reino Mágico: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, TRON Lightcycle / Run, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
- Hollywood Studios: Slinky Dog Dash, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
- EPCOT: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Frozen Ever After
- Animal Kingdom: Avatar Flight of Passage, Kilimanjaro Safaris
Book Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios days first since they fill up fastest, then EPCOT and Animal Kingdom.
