    If I purchase a Lightning Lane Premier Pass in advance of my trip (holiday travel), as well as a Park Hopper ticket, can I start my day in one of the parks which was not designated for the LLPP? Or does my first park of the day have to be the LLPP park?

    Hi there, Robert! Welcome to planDisney! 

    Ka-Chow! Like Lightning McQueen, when you combine a theme park ticket with the Park Hopper Option AND a Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you'll be faster than fast and quicker than quick when it comes to enjoying the magic! I'm happy you stopped by with your question because here at planDisney, we are fueled with pixie dust and work tire-lessly to make sure you are prepared for your trip. We're always here to help steer you in the right direction. So let's vroom right to your question, Robert. 

    I'm happy to share that when you purchase your Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you are not required to use it at the first park you visit. This pass is specifically valid for the park you purchased it for, and you can use it at any time during your day. Recently, my husband and I took on the "4 parks in one day" challenge. We bought a Premier Pass for Hollywood Studios, but we first visited both Animal Kingdom and EPCOT before heading to Hollywood Studios to use our pass. So, feel free to use your park-hopping ticket in any order you choose to visit!

    Robert, I want to share some helpful tips from my experience using the Premier Pass. First, be sure to give yourself enough time to enjoy all the attractions. Even though you'll be speeding through the Lightning Lane queues, you'll still want to give yourself enough time to do it all. Also, as you use your Premier Pass, keep checking your My Disney Experience app. The app will track which rides you've used your pass for and which attractions you still have left to enjoy. This feature helped me avoid missing any attractions and ensured I got the best value for my purchase.

    I hope this is all the information you needed to map out your day. I love that you'll be visiting during the holiday season, and I know from experience that the Premier Pass will most definitely help your visit be merry and bright! Please stop by and visit with us anytime. We'll be here, happy to help. 

    Happy holidays, 
    Shonette
