Hiya Jack, welcome to planDisney! Thanks for visiting with your question today, we love to help with the pixie-dusted details.
Park hopping and spending the day at both Hollywood Studios and EPCOT is an amazing way to spend a Disney Day! It sounds like you'd like to purchase a
Lightning Lane Multi Pass to maximize the experiences you can pack into your adventure. Yes, since you have a park hopper ticket you can absolutely purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass and make your initial three selections for EPCOT... even if you plan to visit Hollywood Studios first that day. Just a reminder, if you'll be a Disney Resort guest, your eligibility window to purchase Lightning Lanes will open up 7 days prior to your arrival date, beginning at 7:00 AM Eastern Time. For other guests, it's 3 days before arrival. Definitely mark your calendar and log on to the
My Disney Experience app early for the best selection!
Personally, I'm very excited for the opportunity to experience
both new shows that opened this summer at Hollywood Studios! I agree with you, this new
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After looks like a must-see. I'm a lifelong fan of Maleficent, so I was happy to hear she's a headliner.
Jack, I know the delicious food options at EPCOT are plentiful, and there will be additional savory temptations available as part of the
International Food & Wine Festival during your visit. However, if you find cheering for your favorite villain makes you hangry, and you need to grab a quick bite before park hopping... may I recommend
Docking Bay 7? The Endorian Fried Chicken Tip Yip is so scrumptious, and will leave you energized and ready to head to the Disney Skyliner for a ride over to EPCOT.
You've got an amazing plan, for a fantastic day of Disney fun! Enjoy every moment, and please
send me a message at planDisney if I can assist with any other questions.
The magic is calling! (Go Maleficent...!)
