    if i have a park hopper ticket, what should i buy when it comes to lighting lane pass? can i buy one lightning lane purchase and go to the multiple parks or is it one purchased for each individual park?

    Hey Alexa, 

    Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your Walt Disney World question. You’ve come to the right place with questions about Lightning Lane - Disney World’s service that allows guests to skip the traditional standby queue for select attractions throughout the theme parks. I have amazing news for you; yes you can use Lightning Lane Multi Pass with your Park Hopper ticket. Here’s how it works: 

    1. Assuming that you’re staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, purchase your Lightning Lane Multi Pass service 7 days before your visit (3 days before your visit for all other guests). Be sure to select the parks that you plan to start your day at on each day. 

    2. Choose your 3 pre-selected experiences and arrival windows. These will all need to be in the park you plan to start in. 

    3. Once you arrive, head to the first park you planned to visit and scan into your first pre-selected experience. That first scan unlocks the Lightning Lane system and lets you select an additional attraction at the park you’re in or another theme park, subject to availability. Enjoy the attractions in the park you’re currently in while stacking Lightning Lane return windows in the park you plan to head to later if you choose.

    While you’re having a blast on your vacation, don’t forget that your Lightning Lane Multi Pass purchase comes with cool benefits like complimentary downloads of attraction photos captured with Disney’s PhotoPass Service and cool PhotoPass lenses that allow you to take selfies with some of your favorite characters or with really cool filters within the My Disney Experience app

    Alexa, I hope this information helps you plan! If you have additional questions about your Disney vacation, come back and see us again here at planDisney. Until then, TTFN… ta-ta for now!
