Can I book Lightning Lane for friends and Family?

Yes! You can reserve Genie+ or individual Lightning Lane selections for up to 12 people — you'll need to be connected in the My Family and Friends area of the My Disney Experience app.



Yes, you can book Lightning Lane passes for your friends and family in 2026, provided your accounts are linked through the "Family & Friends List" in the My Disney Experience app. Before you can make a selection, you must ensure that every person in your party has a valid theme park admission and is included in your "plans." When you enter the purchase or selection flow for a Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass, the app will ask you to "Select Your Party." You can then check the boxes for each person you wish to include in the booking. It is important to note that the eligibility window (7 days for resort guests, 3 days for others) applies to each individual; you can only book for those who are currently within their booking window. If you are the "lead" booker, you will be responsible for the payment for the entire group in that transaction. This system allows large groups to stay together and ensures everyone has the same "return window" for popular attractions like TRON Lightcycle / Run.
