Hey Tim! Welcome to planDisney. I am glad you stopped by for advice on navigating the Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks.
If you are considering splitting time between theme parks on a single day then it is best to purchase or add the
Park Hopper Option to your 2-Day
theme park ticket before you enter a theme park on your first day. Here is why.
When you upgrade to a Park Hopper ticket you must upgrade all days on the original ticket not just the days remaining on the ticket. This means you will pay for the Park Hopper Option for both ticket days and not just one day. If you choose not to buy the upgrade before you enter your first theme park, you may do so anytime after by visiting
Guest Relations or the ticket window inside or outside any theme park. The ticket window or Guest Relations lines inside the theme park are typically shorter. Also, park hopping begins at 10:00 PM.
Tim, I hope this information helps. Please free to
reach out to me directly or
planDisney for any follow-up questions or Disney vacation planning advice.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
