Hey there, Fiona!
You've got some magical moments in store for you! Being at
Magic Kingdom during
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is a sure way to enjoy the holidays.
If you buy an Individual
Lightning Lane for TRON (or any paid Lightning Lane) during normal park hours, that return window is yours to use as long as you redeem it during the scheduled window. Park Hopping is back to all-day, so hopping from Animal Kingdom to Magic Kingdom before your party shouldn’t be a problem. You can move between parks during the regular operating hours.
During the Christmas Party, Disney doesn’t allow Lightning Lane entry during those special-event hours. In other words, Lightning Lanes (including Individual Lightning Lane purchases) aren’t valid during after-hours party time, so you wouldn’t be able to redeem a Lightning Lane while the party is happening.
So, be sure to buy the TRON Lightning Lane for a return time that fits in your plans before the party starts. Also, remember that TRON is usually open during the Christmas Party, unless there is bad weather.
If you need more planning tips, Fiona, about attractions that are open during the Party, stop by and visit with us again.
Toodles,
Korliss
