    I have the 4 day with hopper military tickets. My daughter and grandson are coming with me sometime during the week of Nov 16 - 23. I was told I needed to reserve access to the parks for those days. How does that work with the hopper?

    Hi Albert!

    Welcome back to planDisney and thank you for your service!  It sounds like you are well on your way to planning a magical vacation with your family and we're happy to help sprinkle a bit of pixie dust on those final details!

    Albert, you are correct that Disney Military Salute Tickets require theme park reservations.  You can check for and make theme park reservations on the Walt Disney World Resort website or in your My Disney Experience Mobile App.  Since you have purchased tickets with the Park Hopper Option, you'll want to make a theme park reservation for the first park you plan to visit each day.  After tapping in at that park, you'll be able to hop to any of the other parks you'd like for the remainder of the day (subject to capacity limitations).  To make park hopping even easier, you'll find complimentary resort transportation available between theme parks, which may include buses, water taxis, or the Walt Disney World Monorail!  

    Since it sounds like you're working hard to plan a vacation with your daughter and grandson that is practically perfect in every way, I wanted to share a few highlights happening around the parks during your stay.  At EPCOT, you'll be able to enjoy the final week of the annual EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival.  I suggest taking a peek at the Foodie Guide for an idea of all of the delicious food and beverage items you'll find at the Global Marketplaces available around the parks.  Additionally, the nightly Eat to the Beat Concert Series is a wonderful way to dance and sing before ending the evening with Luminous The Symphony of Us.  You may also want to check out the special-ticketed holiday parties that will be in full swing - Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights.

    Before I go, I'd like to remind you about the special discount available to Eligible Service Members for Memory Maker while at the parks.  This discount cannot be accessed online, but you can visit a ticket window once at the parks or the Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs to buy in person - just be sure to bring your military ID!  

    Albert, I hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World Resort!  If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!

    Cheers,
    Kristi
