Hey, Sarah! Welcome to planDisney.
I'm so glad you stopped by with your question. It's not long until you arrive at The Most Magical Place on Earth. I bet you're counting down the days!
If you have the
Park Hopper Option on your ticket, you'll be happy to know that you can absolutely purchase
Lightning Lane Multi Pass or Single Pass for a park other than your starting park. Disney Resort hotel Guests can begin making selections 7 days before check-in, while off-site Guests can start 3 days before their ticket's start date.
It sounds like you’ve got a fantastic strategy to make the most of your Disney day, Sarah! Arriving at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park right at opening, especially with
Early Theme Park Entry, should allow you to experience all the rides by noon. Afterward, you can enjoy a delicious meal at
Satu’li Canteen before heading to
Disney’s Hollywood Studios to take advantage of your Lightning Lane selections in the afternoon. Personally, I'd recommend trying to get return times for
Slinky Dog Dash,
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and
Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway.
Remember that park-to-park buses typically start running around 10 AM daily. If you’re planning to use Disney’s complimentary transportation, be sure to factor in travel time when scheduling your Lightning Lane arrival times.
I hope that's helpful, Sarah! I trust you'll have a brilliant time.
Mike
