    If I purchase multipass for animal Kingdom and we have park hopper, does everyone in the party need to check in at Animal Kingdom for their first ride in order to book rides in the second park we are going to?

    Thanks for dropping in Jill! Welcome to planDisney we are happy you stopped by with your park hopping question. 

    Animal Kingdom Park is my favorite park to visit early in the morning. The animals are usually basking in the morning dew. Still full of energy from their breakfast and inquisitive about what the day holds. If you are purchasing MultiPass, I would certainly recommend a very early Kilimanjaro Safaris Lightning Lane. This is usually when the animals are most active. If your whole party has MultiPass and Park Hopper, after you have visited Animal Kingdom and used your Lightning Lanes, you can start to plan ahead for your next park. While you are visiting Animal Kingdom, make sure you get a chance to say “Let’s go save that Dino!” before DINOSAUR takes a final trip back into prehistoric time at the end of 2025. 

    One of my favorite thrills at Animal Kingdom will always be Expedition Everest. My wife and kids love this ride, we all do it’s a family tradition. We usually end up on the single rider line if it is available, mostly so that we can enjoy it multiple times. Since you will be park hopping, making sure that you get a really good break off of your feet is important. It can really help you last until the end of the day at the next park you visit. Magic Kingdom Park is usually open the latest and I always recommend checking those park hours before hopping to make sure you have enough time to squeeze in some more magical memories. 

    Hoping your park hopping visit is a success, and that this information was helpful. Visit us at planDisney.com for other planning tips.

    Have a wild day,
