Welcome to planDisney Larry!
I am a big fan of park hopping at Walt Disney World. Just the other night my family and I were in EPCOT and last minute we decided to hop on the
Disney Skyliner over to Disney's Hollywood Studios to take a spin on Toy Story Mania. It was such a fun spur of the moment decision to end our day at the Studios, and all possible with the Park Hopper option on our Theme Park Tickets.
To upgrade your tickets to include the
Park Hopper option, you just need the
My Disney Experience app. Once you are logged in, click on the 3 horizontal lines that are on the bottom right of the screen. Then select Tickets and Passes. Swipe left to see each of the tickets linked to your My Disney Experience account. You will see the option to Change Ticket on each guest's ticket. From there it will walk you through to make any changes, including adding the Park Hopper option.
Park Hopping is permitted after 2pm daily with a valid
Theme Park Ticket that includes the Park Hopper option. While
Theme Park Reservations are required for your first park of the day, reservations are not needed to park hop.
If using Disney Transportation, you will want to exit out the International Gateway at EPCOT and the Disney Skyliner will quickly transport you to Disney's Hollywood Studios after a quick switch in Skyliner routes at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. Plan to be on the Skyliner no later than 3pm to be on time for your reservation.
Wishing you a magical visit to Walt Disney World!
