Hi Suzanne!
I'm glad to hear that you are planning on adding the Park Hopper Option to your theme park ticket because it will really allow you to make the most of your time at Walt Disney World Resort! There's nothing like starting your day exploring
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in
Disney's Hollywood Studios and ending it enjoying
Disney Enchantment in
Magic Kingdom.
In most cases, you can upgrade your theme park ticket to add the Park Hopper Option. You may be able to upgrade your ticket by visiting
My Disney Experience or using the
My Disney Experience mobile app. Simply visit the "Tickets" section and if your ticket is eligible for an online upgrade, then you will see an option to "Change Ticket," which will allow you to add the Park Hopper Option to your ticket. Otherwise, you will need to visit
Guest Relations at any of the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in order to complete your upgrade. I've upgraded my tickets several times and in my experience, it's generally a pretty quick process!
Keep in mind that your ticket must be unexpired to complete your upgrade and the Park Hopper Option must be applied to your entire ticket. I recommend that you upgrade your ticket as soon as your trip starts so you can take advantage of park hopping for your entire trip. Also, when you upgrade your ticket, you will receive credit for the value of your ticket to use towards your new ticket with the Park Hopper Option. So as long as your ticket was not a complimentary ticket, then your ticket should have value for an upgrade!
Let us know if we can help you again as you continue planning your trip! T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
