📣 Big announcement from Disney today! 📣

🗓️ On July 24th, there wil be a new way to plan ahead. Genie+ 🧞‍♂️ will become Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Individual Lightning Lanes will become Lightning Lane Single Pass. No need to worry! Pack Happy travel advisors are already hard at work learning the new system and will make sure our guests are prepared! 🙌

Here is the initial information, stay tuned for details coming soon…

Lightning Lane Multi Pass
When guests purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass, they may make up to 3 Lightning Lane selections in a theme park, in advance of your visit. They’ll also be able to choose available times as they make their selections. On the day of their visit, once they use a selection, they may 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 guests can secure a time to ride one of our most highly demanded attractions, but they’ll now be able to make their purchase and plan in advance.

How to Plan Ahead
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels (Shades of Green Resort, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin 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.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! 🥳

Happy birthday to the world’s most famous duck and Mickey’s fantastic feathered friend, Donald Duck!

Donald Duck first appeared in the cartoon The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934.

I’ve loved visiting Donald Duck over the years at Walt Disney World. You can currently meet him at all 4 parks and the following character dining experiences:

🍽️ Tusker House Restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park offers Guests the chance to dine with Donald Duck and his pals dressed in their safari gear during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

🍽️ Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera at Disney's Riviera Resort takes Guests on a European culinary adventure with Donald Duck and friends during Breakfast à la Art.

🍽️ At Disney's Contemporary Resort, you'll find Donald Duck and pals dressed in their adorable chef outfits at Chef Mickey's during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

🍽️ Cape May Cafe at Disney's Beach Club Resort allows Guests to dine alongside Donald Duck and pals in their colorful beach attire at Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast.

My personal favorite version of Donald Duck can be found at EPCOT in the Mexico pavilion as one of The Three Caballeros- olé!

Happy 90th Birthday Donald!!! 💙💛🤍

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland will welcome aboard it’s first official guests tomorrow - but only if they follow these important procedures:

📲 Guests will need to use the Disneyland app to enter the attraction via either a free, virtual queue, or, a paid Lightning Lane selection.

⏰ The virtual queue opens twice a day - at 7am and again at 1pm. For the 7am drop, you can book from anywhere, but you must have a park pass reservation for Disneyland Park that day. For the 1pm virtual queue, you can have either a Disneyland Park, or Disney California Adventure reservation with park hopper admission, but you MUST have scanned into one of the two parks before 1pm.

If this ride is a priority for your group, it would be smart to make your park pass reservation for Disneyland Park so you have two chances at that virtual queue! Note that you can only enter the virtual queue once per day. If you succeed at 7am, you don’t get to double-dip at 1pm.

⚡️ As perviously mentioned, guests can also opt to purchase entry to the ride through the Disneyland app. Note that unlike Walt Disney World, at Disneyland, you can only purchase an Individual Lightning Lane selection once you have entered the parks for the day - but be warned, they will go quickly. Getting in early is a must if you want a crack at it!

These are the types of crucial details we make sure our guests know before leaving for their Disney trips. With so much to keep tabs on, you need a trusted travel professional on your side!
