Hi there, Cathie!
Wow, it sounds like you’ve got an action-packed Disney day planned! Staying at
Disney’s Contemporary Resort is such a smart choice, especially for a quick visit. You can’t beat being just steps away from
Magic Kingdom… and that monorail view? Pure magic! Starting your day with a rope drop at
Disney’s Hollywood Studios and ending with the pixie-dusted perk of Extended Evening Hours at Magic Kingdom? That’s what I call a park day done right! I’m happy to help you make the most of it.
Let’s talk about
Lightning Lane passes. The
Lightning Lane Premier Pass gives you access to all available Lightning Lane attractions in one park for the day, so there's no need to choose time slots or stress over return windows. You just scan and go when you’re ready, riding each eligible attraction once with minimal wait. It’s the perfect way to take the stress out of the day and just soak in the fun!
However, at this time, guests can only purchase a Premier Pass for one park per day, so if you plan to start at Hollywood Studios, that’s the only park you can select for your Premier Pass. But here’s a little Disney tip: once you park hop to Magic Kingdom, you can purchase Lightning Land Single Pass for individual attractions (like TRON Lightcycle / Run or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train), or even use a Lightning Lane Multi Pass for that second park if you’d like to pre-select up to three additional attractions.
That said, since you’ll be there during
Extended Evening Hours, you may not even need them! Lightning Lanes aren’t available during those bonus hours, and the best part is, you likely won’t miss them. Wait times are generally lower during this exclusive time, giving you a chance to enjoy your favorites with a little extra elbow room. Extended Evening Hours on May 7th will run from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM, so it’s the perfect time to ride under the stars.
So grab your walking shoes (you’ll definitely hit that 10,000-step goal) and get ready for a day full of thrills, treats, and unforgettable memories. I hope your whirlwind visit is as magical as a firework finale!
With magic,
Eean
