    Hi, I have a reservation for Animal Kingdom and I am planning to go to Magic Kingdom that same day in the afternoon. My question is: can I buy a single pass for Magic Kingdom a long with the Animal Kingdom 3 days before my visit? Thank you

    Greetings, Cynthia. Welcome to our little Wonderland, we call planDisney. I am so happy to connect with you again. I see that we chatted back in February. I think we are destined to be planDisney pals! I hope your last vacation was beyond magical! 

    I am grinning from ear to ear just like the Cheshire Cat to hear you'll be park hopping between Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. A theme park ticket with the Park Hopper Option lets you hop, hop, hop like the White Rabbit from one whimsical park to the next! Cynthia, you don't need to be like Alice, curiouser and curiouser about this Lightning Lane question, because I'm here to step through the looking glass with you to find your answer. So let's not be late for your very important booking date for your Lightning Lane booking day! 

    Because you have a park-hopping ticket, you will be able to purchase your Lightning Lane Multi Pass for Animal Kingdom 3 days before your arrival. You will also be able to purchase your Lightning Lane Single Pass for Magic Kingdom! YAY! You are actually allowed to purchase two Lightning Lane Single Passes in a day. 

    One thing to note about the Lightning Lane Multi Pass is that it operates on a "use one, get one" system. For example, when you make your purchase, you will book all three experiences at Animal Kingdom. Then, after you use your first Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you are free to hop on your My  Disney Experience app and book another one. And this new pass could be booked for Animal Kingdom, or you could choose an attraction at Magic Kingdom! How convenient is that? 

    Cynthia, I hope this information helps you make the best Lightning Lane selections! I'm also excited to hear that you'll be visiting just in time for the holiday decorations. There truly is no place more magical during the holidays than The Most Magical Place on Earth. If you have any other questions about Lightning Lanes or need suggestions, such as where to find the BEST new Joffrey's Coffee Cold Brew, I'm here to help because I HIGHLY recommend the Ube Cold Brew at Satu'li Canteen in Animal Kingdom—it's absolutely delicious!

    I'm wishing you the most magical vacation that is more wonderful than painting the roses red! 

    Enchanting memories,
