Sister visiting/Lightening Lane?

[srobinet]

My son and I have a package that is paid in full for arrival on 1/13/25 for six nights staying at Pop Century. My sister will be joining us on 1/14 and leaving at noon on 1/16/25. I am going to add her to the room reservation when she arrives. My dilemma is Lightening Lanes and pre-booking. My sister has a 3 day base ticket 1 park per day that we purchased about 3 years ago. I have made her park reservations for the days she is with us. Are we going to have to wait to add her lightening lanes until after she arrives since she is not listed yet on the reservation? As far as our dining I have added her to our dining reservations and I'm assuming she will just pay her own with a cc. My son and I have the dining package.

Since your sister has park reservations starting 1/14 she will be eligible to book LLs for all days, 3 days prior to that on 1/11. You will probably find it easiest to wait and book LLs for the 3 of you for the 3 days you are together on 1/11. You can book LLs for the rest of your days for you and your son starting 1/6.

There is the option of trying to book all your LLs for you and your son on 1/6 and try to overlap times for the 3 days you are together once she can book on 1/11 but that will be challenging and likely impossible to find times that overlap.

Some have had success booking separate times and day of going to a blue umbrella to request the one person’s times be moved to match the other two but this is not guaranteed and, changing is at the discretion of the CM. Waiting to book is less stressful but also means your options/times will be limited.

I would think she could make LLMP at 3 days out like an “off-site” guest/AP holder. I don’t think you’ll be able to add her to your room until she arrives so won’t be able to book her LLMP when you do yours 7-days out. But 3-days is better than day-of.
