    We purchased a park hopper ticket and a premier pass for hollywood studios. We would like to start our day at animal kingdom before we enter hollywood studios. Is that allowed or do you need to start your day at the park you purchased the premier pass for?

    Hello Marcy and welcome to planDisney! 

    Ka-chow! Lightning McQueen approves your purchase of a Lightning Lane Premier Pass to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!  

    Marcy, you will be happy to know that yes, I confirmed with a friendly Cast Member that you can indeed start your day at another theme park, like Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and then head to Hollywood at your leisure to utilize your Premier Pass! 

    Your Lightning Lane Premier Pass will get you one-time entry to each available Lightning Lane experience at Hollywood Studios, including my favorites Slinky Dog Dash and the new Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring The Muppets!  The beauty of the Premier Pass is you get to ride the attractions when you want to ride them, with no scheduled arrival windows!  Less time spent on the electronic device looking for that next attraction! 

    Marcy, a couple of tips, if you notice a short standby wait time at one of the Hollywood Studios attractions, you can utilize that line and save your Lightning Lane for later in the day to get multiple rides on that attraction. Your My Disney Experience mobile app will track which Lightning Lanes you’ve redeemed throughout the day and which ones you’ll still be able to utilize.  

    Marcy, if you are looking for a great place to sit down and grab some grub for dinner, I highly recommend Roundup Rodeo BBQ! Seeing the world through the eyes of Andy’s toys is a treat in itself, and Buttercup’s Beef Brisket is mouthwatering good! It is so much fun! And a night at Hollywood Studios is not complete without a visit with Mickey at Fantasmic! The stunning effects and spectacular music make this a must-see!   

    Marcy, have an amazing adventure and don’t forget to enjoy a Mickey Bar or two!
