Hello, Christina. Welcome and thanks for asking your question here at planDisney! Your trip to the most magical place on earth is right around the corner, I bet you are getting so excited!
It's totally understandable that during the planning process of a Walt Disney World vacation plans and itineraries can and will most certainly change. I switch days around all of the time depending on park hours or restaurant reservations that I am able to snag. I think you'll be happy to know that you are able to switch your park pass reservations around. There isn't an option, currently, to necessarily change a park pass reservation, but it can be done. Christina, what you'll need to do is log into your
MyDisneyExperience account and look at the "My Plans" section. There, you should be able to see your current park pass reservations. You'll need to actually cancel the existing park pass reservation and then head over to the
park pass reservation website and reselect something else for that day. Before you do this though, I can't stress enough how important it is to check the
theme park availability calendar first. The calendar is broken down into three categories: Guests with resort reservations, Guests with theme park tickets only and Guests who are current Annual Passholders. Be sure you are viewing the calendar that pertains to you. I can see that starting on April 4th, there is some theme park availability but some of the parks have already reached their capacity limitations at this time. Now this is always updating and changing so please do keep checking back.
If the theme parks you are wanting to switch to are full for that particular day, I do have an idea for you. You could always upgrade your standard theme park ticket to include the park hopper option. Park hopping is where you can visit multiple Walt Disney World theme parks in one day. Park hopping officially returned to Walt Disney World at the start of this year and I couldn't have been happier. It's actually my preferred park touring method. Even though park hopping has returned, it does look a little bit different these days. Here is how park hopping is currently working:
- Guests wishing to park hop must have valid theme park admission with the park hopper option
- Guests wishing to park hop must make park pass reservations for the day or days they are wishing to park hop
- Guests must scan in and enter the theme park with the park pass reservation before park hopping
- Park hopping officially starts at 2:00 p.m. each day and lasts until park closing
- Park hopping is currently subject to park capacity limitations
If it doesn't work out where you can change your itinerary around, you can always visit the park you really want to go to starting at 2:00 p.m if you upgrade to the park hopper option. I've been parking hopping since its return, a little over two months, and have not encountered any problems with park capacity. I think it's a good backup plan for you.
I hope you are able to switch your park days around with ease. If you have any other questions before your trip, I am more than
happy to help. I hope you all have so much fun!
