Hey there! Hi there, Kendall! I am so glad to welcome you to planDisney again. It won't be long before you and your mom are walking down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. Talk about the heartbeat of a holiday!
Using a
Lightning Lane Multi Pass and theme park admission with the
Park Hopper option allows you to enjoy shorter lines in multiple parks on the same day. When you initially purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you select one theme park and three experiences in that park. After you enjoy your first Lightning Lane experience, you can pick additional attractions at any theme park.
After scanning into a Multi Pass experience, the message at the top of the
My Disney Experience app home page will say that you are eligible to make another selection. On the Tip Board, you can see a list of attractions and the earliest available Multi Pass Experience return time. To see the attractions in other parks, select "Change Park" at the top of the Tip Board screen. You can pick any experience that is available at any park. Just click "Select" for your attraction and follow the prompts to choose the arrival window based on availability.
I was there last week and purchased a Multi Pass in advance to ride my beloved
Slinky Dog Dash. We were headed to
'Ohana for dinner, so later in the day, I picked attractions in Magic Kingdom Park that were close to our dinner time.
I learned a few things last week that might be helpful to you. Some attractions have two check-in points for Lightning Lane entries, like
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, where you scan at the entry to the queue and again before entering the preview room. We could only make additional Lightning Lane selections after the second scan. Always check after the first scan to use that time in line to pick your next experience, but if the Tip Board says you can choose another attraction after you have enjoyed one, a second scan is likely required.
Also, there is a confirmation screen once you pick your experience and arrival window. Make sure you confirm the selection. I thought I was done once I picked the time, but I had not scrolled to the bottom of the next screen to confirm my choice.
Kendall, I hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any other questions as you plan your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth, we are always happy to see you at
planDisney.
Thinking of the Happiest Things!
