Hi Tracy!
I'm so happy to help you get ready for your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort! If you'll only be visiting for one day, the Park Hopper Option will maximize the amount of magic you'll enjoy because you'll be able to visit multiple theme parks during your day.
It sounds like you are interested in purchasing a theme park ticket with the Park Hopper option once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort. While you are welcome to purchase your tickets once you arrive, keep in mind that all Guests 3 years old and above who will be visiting the theme parks will need both a
theme park ticket and a
theme park reservation to the first park you'll be visiting during your magical day.
Availability for theme park reservations is limited and you'll need your theme park tickets before you can make your reservation. If you wait to purchase your theme park tickets and secure your reservation until the day of your visit, there is the risk that reservations will no longer be available for the park you'd like to start in. I recommend that you purchase your theme park tickets and make your theme park reservation as soon as possible to ensure you can enjoy the perfect itinerary during your magical day.
If you have already purchased standard theme park tickets and you're interested in upgrading your tickets to include the Park Hopper Option, then you can complete that upgrade once you arrive at Walt Disney World Resort by visiting any of the Guest Relations locations. Just be sure to make your theme park reservation for the first park you will be visiting using the
Disney Park Pass system.
Tracy, be sure to download the
My Disney Experience mobile app for your trip because it's a great tool to help you enjoy your visit. It will give you access to all of
Disney Genie's awesome tips and you can choose to add the
Disney Genie+ service to your visit to minimize the time you spend in queues. The app will also allow you to use
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering, which is my favorite way to enjoy quick service restaurants while visiting the theme parks!
Let us know if we can help you with additional questions as your trip approaches. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
