Bright Suns, Julie.
Thank the maker you followed the Resistance’s secret coordinates here to planDisney! Your vacation to
The Most Magical Place on Earth will be here faster than the Millennium Falcon can jump to hyperspace, so we had better get you ready for blast off.
I’m excited to hear you’ve purchased
theme park tickets with the
Park Hopper Option, Julie. I think you’ll find it really opens up your options for each day you play in the
theme parks. If I were in your shoes, I would get to my first park of the day at the official
opening time and pack in as much fun as possible before heading back to my Disney Resort hotel for a midday break. Then, I would pop over to my second park of the day as soon as Park Hopper hours begin (usually at 2:00 p.m.).
You’ll be happy to know your theme park ticket gains you access to all attractions within the theme park it’s purchased for. Since you have the Park Hopper Option, you will also have access to all attractions within any parks you park hop to that day, including
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. This groundbreaking attraction is one of the most popular experiences at Walt Disney World Resort and often has lengthy wait times. Because of this, I suggest you either plan on getting in line later in the evening when the wait time typically lessens or purchase an Individual Lightning Lane for this attraction the morning you plan on park hopping over to
Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
What is an
Individual Lightning Lane, you ask? Well, it’s an optional add-on that essentially saves your place in line. You will be able to choose a return time at the time of purchase, so you can experience other park offerings rather than wait in line yourself.
Disney Resorts Collection hotel Guests are eligible to purchase an Individual Lightning Lane beginning at 7:00 a.m. the morning of use, while all other Guests must wait for the official park opening time to make their purchase. To purchase an Individual Lightning Lane, go to the Tip Board in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App, make sure it says “Disney’s Hollywood Studios” at the top, then click “Individual Lightning Lane” under
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and finish the checkout process.
I hope this helps, Julie! Enjoy your voyage across the galaxy, and may the Force be with you!
‘Til the Spires,
Alyssa
