Lightning Lane question - 2 parks

[Wall-E1]

We’re planning on spending 1/2 day at Animal Kingdom, and then going to Magic Kingdom later in the afternoon for MNSSHP. If I purchase lightning lane for Animal Kingdom, will I be able to reserve rides at Magic Kingdom between 4:00-6:00(before the party begins)?

Do you have Park Hopper tickets?

 

[Wall-E1]

No

No

Then you are limited to a single park for lightning lane.

If you have park hopper tickets this is a great option. We have done it and found it fantastic. As soon as you use your first pass you can book a fast pass at any park.

I think it's definitely worth checking. I wish I could give you something more definitive.

I agree. We just finished a visit and the combination of lightning lane and park hoppers is very efficient. It really does double the amount of headline attractions that you can do each day.

Have you tried doing this before (with a normal ticket and a special event ticket) or are you just assuming? I just ask because 3 years ago when I was a cast member and my family came to visit me, they were lucky enough to be there during a preview for Guardians where I was able to get a free ticket to Epcot for them one day, which they used in addition to their one-park-per-day ticket for Magic Kingdom that day and if I remember right, they were able to book rides in both Magic Kingdom and Epcot without any trouble, which makes me think that all the system cares about is that you have valid admission to both parks that day. But that was with genie+ and a different type of ticket so it could be different now

I am also planning to do a half day at AK then go to MNSSHP (on 8/26) and I can report here if I have any luck getting lightning lane in both parks. My day to book LLs was today and I was successfully able to book multi pass for AK and FOP in addition to Tron, which is hopeful. Although I noticed that even on other days it would also let me book single pass rides in different parks from the one I bought multi pass for which is really interesting since I don’t have a park hopper

These are the best quotes I can find online:

"If your park admission includes Park Hopper benefits, you can even choose from multi pass experiences in other parks."

"No, you cannot book Lightning Lane selections in multiple parks on the same day without a park hopper ticket."

That is how LLSP works, you get up to (2) per day, and they may be at any park. It has been this way since July 24, 2024. There is no ticket check for LLSP for a valid ticket at a second park in MDE.
