Hi, Shelley! Welcome to planDisney.
It sounds like you have a wonderful family trip planned. And I have great news for you, Shelley! You don’t all have to start at the same park to unlock the
Park Hopper Option! As long as each of you taps into at least one park that day, your Park Hopper privileges are good to go.
So, you and your dad can kick off your day at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park whilst your mom and daughter enjoy breakfast at
Magic Kingdom Park. Once everyone’s tapped into their first park, you can hop to any other park.
Even better, you can book
Lightning Lane selections (whether a Multi-Pass or Single-Pass) for a park different from where you start. And if you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you can book them up to seven days before check-in. Other Guests can start booking three days before their ticket date.
I hope that helps, Shelley! Thanks for choosing to be our Guest.
Mike
