    We are going to purchase the Park Hopper ticket to start our day in Hollywood Studios, then venture on over to Magic Kingdom. We are not staying at a Disney Resort. How do I purchase the Lightening Lane Pass? Can it be used for both parks, or only one?

    Hi, friend! Welcome to planDisney!

    Your plan sounds like a Disney dream! Kicking things off with thrills at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and wrapping up with Happily Ever After lighting up the night sky at Magic Kingdom Park? Wowza! I can already picture the perfect finale: standing on Main Street, U.S.A., with fireworks sparkling above Cinderella Castle. Practically perfect in every way!

    Since you’re not staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you’ll be able to purchase your Lightning Lane passes (both Multi Pass and Single Pass) up to 3 days before your park visit, starting at 7:00 AM (ET). After you've enjoyed your first three Lightning Lane experiences, you may be able to make additional Lightning Lane selections one at a time, subject to availability. And if your ticket includes the Park Hopper option, those additional selections can be made in a different park, like Magic Kingdom!

    One helpful tip: focus your early Lightning Lane selections on the most popular rides at your first park (like Slinky Dog Dash or Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway), then grab return times later in the day for Magic Kingdom classics like Peter Pan’s Flight or Space Mountain. That way, you’re making the most of your day from rope drop to fireworks finale!

    I hope that's helpful! Thanks for stopping by planDisney.
