If you are an International guest visiting Walt Disney World from outside the United States, be aware that the new Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lighting Lane Single Pass beginning July 24 will only be available for purchase once you are inside the U.S.A.
A spokesperson for Walt Disney World has confirmed to WDWMAGIC that the My Disney Experience app is intended for use only in the U.S.
The geo-location restriction means that the 7-day Lighting Lane advance planning for Disney resort hotel guests and 3-day advance planning for non-resort guests will, in most cases, not be helpful for many international guests, specifically for the start of their trip. Once inside the U.S., international guests will be able to purchase Lightning Lane Passes for their length of stay (up to 14 days.)
Steps for International Guests
Download the My Disney Experience App: Before you leave your home country, download the My Disney Experience app on your smartphone. While you can download it beforehand, remember that you won’t be able to use it to make Lightning Lane selections until you arrive in the U.S.
Set Up Your Disney Account: If you don’t already have one, create a Disney account. This will streamline the process once you’re in the U.S. and ready to plan your passes.
Connect with Your Travel Group: Use the Family & Friends list feature in the My Disney Experience app to connect with everyone in your travel group. This will allow you to make plans and purchases for everyone in your party.
