    With Lightning Lanes and Park Hopping, do I HAVE to book 3 experiences in the 1st park before booking the 2nd park or can I book 1 in the 1st park and save 2? After I check into the 1st ride then I can book 3 in the 2nd park since I never booked 3?

    Howdy, Jeffrey!

    Kachow and welcome to planDisney! I am happy to hear that your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is just around the corner. I hope you have had a wonderful time planning the magical details for your trip. Thank you for bringing us your question, let's get cruising right into that answer for you.

    Yes, you are able to book just one Lightning Lane Multi Pass experience instead of three if that is what you choose to do. While I do understand your reasoning behind this decision I wanted to provide some personal advice from using Lightning Lane Multi Pass earlier this month. If you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort or other select resorts you're able to book your Lightning Lane passes 7 days prior to your visit and for the length of your stay up to 14 days. If not, you are still able to purchase your selections 3 days before your visit.

    Since you're able to reserve your experiences and arrival windows ahead, I recommend going ahead and selecting your top three selections at the time of purchase since you're paying for three and should have more availability ahead of your visit than the day of. On the day of your visit, once you redeem your first multi pass experience, you can then go in and modify your other two experiences to the next park (subject to availability.) This way, if it's a busier day, if your plans change or if there are only later arrival windows available at the second park you'll still be able to use your initial selections and won't miss out on opportunities or extra downtime between attractions. This method should still work as effectively as your plan, but also offers back-up experiences if your desired selections aren't available the day of.

    I hope I've been able to assist in your Lightning Lane Multi Pass planning, Jeffrey! If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know. Have a wonderful vacation!

    Magical Wishes,

    Lauren
