    Hey! So I have a park hopper ticket. I am planning to start one day at MK, and get the LL for MK 7 days before since I am staying onsite. What if, on the day of, we decide to rope drop another park for a certain ride, will my MK LL choices disappear?

    Hi Vilsi! Thanks for stopping back to planDisney with this great question!

    Oh boy! Let the countdown begin until you arrive for a magical Disney vacation! Before you know it, you'll be strolling down Main Street, U.S.A., with a Mickey pretzel in hand, ready to experience it all.

    Vilsi, I have great news for you! If you decide to start your day at a different park, you will still be able to use the Lightning Lanes you have reserved at the Magic Kingdom. When you purchase Lightning Lane Multi-Pass in advance of your stay, you'll be required to choose a park since pricing will vary based on your selection. With your Disney Resorts hotel reservation, you can choose up to three selections 7 days in advance of your arrival. You'll need to be careful what time you decide to make each one since there is a possibility that you will arrive later. On that morning, you can simply head straight to the park of your choosing and then hop over to the Magic Kingdom in time for your Lightning Lane selections.

    One park that I love to visit early in the day is Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. It typically opens earlier than the rest which helps you fully maximize your day. Avatar Flight of Passage is the perfect ride to head straight to since it usually will have an extended wait throughout the day. If your goal is to ride this attraction and then head over to the Magic Kingdom, you should arrive not too long after the park opens. Since you're staying in a Disney Resorts hotel, you'll also have access to Early Theme Park Entry each day of your stay. This gives you an extra 30 minutes before the official park opening time to begin your day.

    Vilsi, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!

    Have a magical day!
