ARE LIGHTNING LANES (WALT DISNEY) AND/OR EXPRESS LANES (UNIVERSAL ORLANDO) INCLUDED WITH A TICKET?
No.
Walt Disney World Resort: Link each ticket number to a “My Disney Experience” account, including on the My Disney Experience mobile app - then individually purchase one and/or two of the following options on the day of your visit:
- Genie+: $15 per day/person service for participating attractions. Selections can be made one at a time. Guests must redeem an existing selection or wait 2 hours – whichever comes first – before making another selection. Guests can enjoy a Lightning Lane entrance once for each attraction per day.
Genie+ is a paid addition to the complementary Disney Genie service, which assists guests in planning their day on the mobile app.
- Individual Lightning Lane: An ‘a la carte’ service for separate, high-demand attractions - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (Magic Kingdom); Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (EPCOT); Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (Hollywood Studio); and Avatar Flight of Passage (Animal Kingdom). Prices vary with demand and day. One at a time, guests may purchase up to two experiences/day.
Universal Orlando Resort: Separately purchase Universal Express passes online, including on the Universal Orlando Resort mobile app, or at the park entrance; linking with each ticket number afterwards.

DOES A UNIVERSAL PARK-TO-PARK PASS INCLUDE VOLCANO BAY?
No. DECA’s ticket packages do not include Volcano Bay as an option.
HOW DO I REGISTER FOR DISNEY WORLD'S DISABILITY ACCESS SERVICE (DAS) OR UNIVERSAL'S ATTRACTION ASSISTANCE PASS (AAP)?
Request with guest services at a theme park entrance and give as many details as possible about the disability or health problems. A doctor’s note is not legally required.
Note: These are intended for guests who have difficulty tolerating extended waits in a conventional queue environment due to a disability.
Walt Disney World: Registered guests (and their party members) can make return time selections right from the My Disney Experience app during the day of a park visit.

Yes.
Both, Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World require visiting guests to clear security prior to entering Universal City Walk, Walt Disney World Theme Parks and Disney Springs. All persons, bags, parcels and clothing are subject to additional screening.
