Welcome F Gordon! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
I'm excited you are considering a visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort! With so many exciting experiences to look forward to, now is the perfect time to plan a stay.
To answer your question, if you plan to use Disney Genie+ and book Lightning Lanes at both parks you visit, you will need to purchase the Multiple Parks option. If you only purchase it specifically for the first park you visit, then you can not schedule Lightning Lanes for any other park that day. Also, make sure that you added the
Park Hopper Option to your park tickets. If not, you will not have the option to hop to another park.
Currently, Park Hopping begins at 2 PM each day. You'll need to visit the first park you make a reservation for before hopping to a second park. Beginning on January 9th, 2024, date-based tickets will no longer require a park reservation and Park Hopping can begin at any time. If you are planning your visit for next year, you'll have fewer rules to adhere to when planning your stay.
Purchasing
Disney Genie+ is the best way to maximize your time in the parks. It allows you to bypass the standby queues and lower your wait times at many attractions. This will give you more time to try some tasty treats, shop for exclusive merchandise, and catch various entertainment offerings. If you're exploring the World Showcase in EPCOT, you'll have more time to stop and enjoy some wonderful performances that take place in many of the different countries.
F Gordon, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
