Hello Kelly,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question. There is so much to see and do in Walt Disney World, it can be a challenge to choose where you want to go when you have a limited amount of time to visit. Adding the
Park Hopper Option to your ticket will give you the opportunity to experience more attractions and see two completely different parks in one day.
I'm hoping that by Wild Kingdom, you are referring to
Disney's Animal Kingdom. It certainly has a lot of wild adventures like
Kilimanjaro Safaris,
Avatar Flight of Passage, and
Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, in addition to some fantastic walking trails and other animal encounters.
Park hopping from Disney's Animal Kingdom to
Magic Kingdom is a great choice! Animal Kingdom typically opens earlier than the other parks, and Magic Kingdom is generally open later than most parks. This way you'll have a full day of fun.
Guests only need to
reserve their first park that they plan to visit each day. You chose Disney's Animal Kingdom. At 2:00 PM, or whenever park hopping becomes available, you'll be able to head over to Magic Kingdom, or any other park, no reservation required.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
