I haven’t been to WDW since January 2020 (except for a one day trip in June 2021) and I’m trying to learn all of the nuances of the new lightning lane as I like to game the system as best as allowed. My current trip is going to be 1/4 - 1/13 but I’ll be doing Universal on 1/6 - 1/8. If I have a Disney hotel for just one night on 1/4 and a 7 day Disney ticket, when can I get access to lightning lane for each day?
My understanding is that I get LL access on 12/28 for both 1/4 and 1/5 (7 days prior) due to the hotel room night. Then for the remaining days on my ticket I should get 3 days prior to the start of my 7 day ticket. So that would be 1/1 for all remaining days on my ticket through 1/13. Is that correct? I've seen someone say that it should work that way but that it may not open until 1/3 due to the hotel stay messing with the rest of my ticket.
I’m trying to prepare for this trip but have realized that the whole system is completely different from my last big trip 6 years ago. So now I’m catching up and hoping to learn the ins and outs of the current system. Thanks!
