Hi Samantha! Welcome to planDisney!
It looks like you're on your way to
Walt Disney World Resort in just about a month and I bet you and your family are getting so excited! There's so much to see and do all around the Resort right now, like the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and, of course, the Halloween activities like
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom! Even if you skip out on that Special Event you'll still be able to see the festive fall decorations and check out other seasonal activities like
Minnie's Halloween Dine at Hollywood & Vine in Disney's Hollywood Studios!
Adding the
Park Hopper Option to your already purchased
Standard Theme Park Ticket is certainly an option as long as you choose to make this change while you still have remaining admissions on your Tickets and they are not expired. However, no matter when you choose to add this option it will be added for the entire length of your original Ticket purchase, meaning you're paying for using it for your entire Theme Park vacation, even if you only choose to "hop" for one day. You can add this option at any time by visiting a Cast Member at Guest Relations outside of each Theme Park. You might even be able to upgrade on your own right on your
My Disney Experience app in the "Tickets and Passes" section.
My advice would certainly be to purchase the Park Hopper Option and use it to its fullest! My family and I love getting out in the morning for Early Theme Park Entry so that we're able to take advantage of the low wait times on popular rides and attractions. When we're ready for a nap we take Disney's complimentary transportation back to our
Disney Resorts Collection hotel for a rest and a dip in the pool and then we head back out to a different Park for dinner and fireworks. Being able to Park Hop just adds an extra level of flexibility to any vacation - and with three kids we're always needing to be flexible!
I hope you're able to use the Park Hopper Option to make the most out of your vacation this fall. Enjoy the magic!
