Boo to you, Ashley! It looks like you're headed to the Walt Disney World Resort for some
fall magic next week! Between the
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival and all the vibes and
treats of spooky season in full swing, I know you're going to have the best time!
Ashley, since you may already be in your
booking window for Lightning Lane Passes (guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel can book 7 days in advance of their check-in date) let's jump right into your question so you can book those passes to maximize the magic (and minimize the wait times!)
Ashley, with your park hopper ticket, you can book
Lightning Lane Multi Pass in any theme park you plan to visit on your selected date, and you can combine that purchase with up to two Lightning Lane Single Passes in any of the four theme parks. So, for example, if you choose to purchase Multi Pass for Animal Kingdom Theme Park, you can also purchase a Single Pass for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT and another Single Pass for
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios for the same day. When you purchase Lightning Lane Single Pass, you have the flexibility to select a return time that works with your park-hopping schedule, making this the perfect way to plan your itinerary!
Now let's chat about Lightning Lane Multi Pass. When you book Multi Pass, your initial three
attraction selections must all be from the same theme park (so if you choose Animal Kingdom, all 3 pre-selected attractions must be in Animal Kingdom). However, once you have tapped into your first Lightning Lane of the day, with your park hopper ticket, you can then choose your next Lightning Lane at any other theme park you plan on visiting that same day at no extra cost. Remember that every time you redeem a Lightning Lane, you can pick a new one. My favorite thing about park hopping is maxing out as many attractions with Lightning Lane Multi Pass as I can at each of the four theme parks!
Ashley, I hope this helps you to plan all of your Lightning Lanes and put together a day of thrills without all the waiting! If you have any other questions before your trip, we'd love to see you again here at

Magic and Memories,
Alison
