Planning & Information
Multi Pass
You can reserve three Multi Pass attractions in advance.
Each reservation usually has a one-hour arrival window.
Example:
- 10:40 to 11:40 AM
- 11:50 AM to 12:50 PM
- 1:15 to 2:15 PM
For your late-arrival style:
| Reservation | Suggested timing |
|---|---|
| First Multi Pass | Around 10:30 to 11:30 AM |
| Second Multi Pass | Around 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM |
| Third Multi Pass | Around 12:30 to 2:00 PM |
Book all three in advance. Once you tap into your first Multi Pass attraction, you can book another eligible attraction, subject to availability. Continue checking the app after each redemption.
Recommended priority order
- Hardest attraction to reserve
- Longest expected standby wait
- Family priority
- Return window compatible with your arrival
- Geographic proximity
Use geography as a secondary rule, not the main rule.
Single Pass
You can buy up to two Single Pass attractions per person, per day, subject to availability.
Single Pass attractions are separate from Multi Pass.
If you do not buy a Single Pass for an attraction, the normal alternative is the standby line, unless Disney is temporarily using a virtual queue.
A Single Pass reservation also usually has a one-hour arrival window.
Using a Single Pass does not unlock another reservation.
Transportation
Skyliner
Use the Skyliner for EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. You will transfer at Caribbean Beach. Because you plan to leave around 9:45 to 10:00 AM, you should miss most of the heavy opening rush.
| Destination | Suggested departure | Transportation allowance |
|---|---|---|
| Hollywood Studios | 9:45 to 10:00 AM | About 30 to 40 minutes |
| EPCOT | 9:40 to 9:55 AM | About 35 to 45 minutes |
Buses
Use buses for Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. Leaving after the opening rush should reduce crowding, but bus waits are less predictable than Skyliner waits.
| Destination | Suggested departure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Magic Kingdom | 9:30 to 9:45 AM | Allow for a possible 10 to 20 minute wait |
| Animal Kingdom | 8:45 to 9:00 AM | Some morning traffic may remain |
The busiest transportation periods will likely be after nighttime shows and park closing.
General dining strategy
- Use Mobile Order before you become hungry, especially between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM.
- Choose grilled protein, vegetables, rice, beans, fruit, or salad when available.
- Ask for sauces and dressings on the side.
- Replace fries with fruit, vegetables, beans, or another available side when possible.
- Kids are not always required to order from the children's menu at quick-service restaurants.
- Free cups of ice water are normally available at quick-service counters.
- Keep one backup restaurant in mind because menus, hours, and mobile-order windows can change.
The restaurants listed on each day's page are quick-service or counter-service locations that do not normally require a reservation. Confirm the current menu and mobile-order availability in My Disney Experience before the trip.
