Hi Susan and welcome to planDisney!
I just love being a
Florida resident and a
Walt Disney World Passholder! Living so close to the theme parks gives us the flexibility to visit as often as possible and we love popping over for a day trip, weekend or a long stay. There are so many perks that come with having an annual pass like discounts on merchandise, select
Disney dining and
Disney Resort hotel stays, so we like to take advantage of everything we can.
All
Walt Disney World annual passes include park hopping privileges and that includes the Florida resident Disney Pirate Pass. Currently, park hopping is allowed after 2:00 PM, subject to park availability. You can check the park hopping status on the
My Disney Experience Mobile App on the homepage when you view park hours. As of recently, Passholders do not need to make a
theme park reservation if they are visiting their first park after 2:00 PM, except for
Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays.
I see that your next visit is coming up in less than a month. How exciting! I love seeing Main Street U.S.A. decorated for fall and the shopaholic in me can't wait to get my hands on some Halloween themed merchandise. The special Halloween and fall treats that are around the parks and Resort hotels look so delicious like the Maleficent Petit Cake at
Amorette’s Patisserie in
Disney Springs or the Witches Cold Brew at
Cheshire Cafe in
Magic Kingdom Park. I'm really looking forward to my visit coming up!
Please
stop back by and visit if you have any additional vacation planning questions.
Have a magical day!
Leslie
