    Is it possible to essentially do two rope drops in a day. Plan is to do animal kingdom rope drop early entry at 7:30 and just do Flight of passage. Then try to get to Hollywood studios by 8:30/9ish, are there park to park buses that early from AK?

    Hi, Noam! Welcome to planDisney.

    You've asked a great question. I love the strategy you're thinking through here, Noam. "Rope drop" plans like this are exactly how Guests squeeze extra magic out of their day, especially when they've got a couple of must-do attractions at the top of the list.

    Unfortunately, doing two "rope drops" using Disney transportation alone won't be possible. Park-to-park buses generally don't begin running until later in the morning, typically around 10:00 AM, once most Guests are already settled into their first park of the day. If your plan is to "rope drop" Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park for Avatar Flight of Passage and then head straight to Disney's Hollywood Studios, a rideshare (Uber or Lyft) or taking your own vehicle is really the only way to make that work efficiently. However, even then, getting there for "rope drop" will be tight. Everything always takes longer than you'd expect.

    Alternative plan: Instead of rushing out of Disney's Animal Kingdom, why not purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass and book a bunch of attractions for Disney's Hollywood Studios later in the day? That way, you can take advantage of your early start at Disney's Animal Kingdom, maybe riding Expedition Everest and the brand new Zootopia: Better Zoogether

    Just a suggestion! Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Noam.
