Welcome to planDisney, Johnny! Your vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth will be here before you know it, and it sounds like you've got some top thrills at the top of your list during your trip, so let's dig a little deeper into all the ways you can maximize thrills and minimize wait times using
Lightning Lane passes!
Johnny, if your Theme Park Ticket includes the
Park Hopper Option, you have some added flexibility to selecting Lightning Lane passes for
attractions and experiences in multiple parks on the same day. Because
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is available for purchase as a Lightning Lane Single Pass, you are eligible to purchase this in addition to Lightning Lane Multi Pass for any other theme park on the same day. In fact, you can even purchase a second Single Pass attraction at any other theme park as well (you are limited to two Lightning Lane Single Pass attractions per day). In addition, you can attempt to secure a boarding group in a
Virtual Queue for any attraction, even if you already hold a Lightning Lane for it, meaning you could potentially experience it more than once on the same day!
On my most recent visit (and first time using the new Lightning Lane system), I purchased Multi Pass for Animal Kingdom Theme Park, where I started my day. I also opted to purchase a Single Pass for an afternoon ride on Guardians of the Galaxy and a Single Pass for a late-night ride on TRON at Magic Kingdom. Once I tapped into my first Animal Kingdom attraction, I started to make additional selections at EPCOT, where I was headed next. After redeeming those attractions, I started to make selections in Magic Kingdom for later that night. In addition, that same morning I was able to secure a boarding group for Guardians of the Galaxy, which meant I was able to ride twice before heading to my third and final theme park of the day.
Johnny, I do truly believe that the value of Lightning Lane for park hopping is great, and it's a great way to ensure you hit those top thrills in multiple parks!
As for the Virtual Queue, you can only hold one Virtual Queue at a time, so if you snag and then redeem your first Guardians Virtual Queue by 1 PM and have relocated to Magic Kingdom, you could then attempt to join a second Virtual Queue for
Tiana's Bayou Adventure at that time.
Johnny, I'm sure however you structure your days, you'll be chasing all the thrills from plunging down the bayou to saving the galaxy to racing across the grid! If you have any other questions as you finalize your itinerary, come on back to
planDisney and let us know!
See you real soon,
