    When Park Hopping, can I buy Lightning Lane Multi-Pass for one park, but start my day at a different park? Example: Buy and reserve Hollywood Studios, but rope drop Animal Kingdom Trying to plan out a 1-Day visit to all 4 parks.

    Welcome to planDisney, David! I'm always excited to see another guest from Louisiana headed to the Most Magical Place on Earth, and I'm super excited that your question combines two of my favorite things - Lightning Lane Passes and park hopping! I think park hopping is the perfect way to spend a Disney day, and maximizing your day with Lightning Lane Passes makes it even more magical!

    David, yes, you can book your Lightning Lane Multi Pass for any theme park on the day you plan to visit with your park hopper ticket! This is a great strategy if you plan to arrive early at a park and rope-drop a few attractions before the crowds build up, because then you'll have some popular attractions waiting for you at your next destination! Keep in mind also that after you've tapped into your first attraction at your selected theme park, your park hopper ticket will allow you to then secure additional Lightning Lane Passes at any available attraction at any other theme park for that same day (at no additional cost!)

    Bonus Tip: You can also choose to purchase up to two Lightning Lane Single Passes for any available attractions at any of the theme parks for the same day, making it a great way to stack up your must-do attractions with less waiting!

    My family recently completed a 4-parks day in April; we started at Animal Kingdom Theme Park, took the bus over to Hollywood Studios, used the Disney Skyliner to hop to EPCOT, and then jumped on board the Disney Monorail to end our day at Magic Kingdom! In addition to using Lightning Lane Multi Pass, we also opted to purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass for both Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and TRON Lightcycle/Run so we could keep the thrills going all day long! While we were exhausted at the end of the day, we felt like it was a great way to see and do all of our favorite things with the time we had!

    Before I let you go, David, be sure to celebrate your park-hopping challenge by asking a PhotoPass photographer to take your photo at each theme park to commemorate the day! And be sure to reward yourself with a special snack or souvenir for all of your hard work; you definitely will deserve it!

    If you have any other questions before your visit, come see us again here at planDisney! We're always happy to help!

    See you real soon,
