Hello Julie! It's always nice to hear from a fellow Disney Parks strategist! Thanks for asking such a great question. I'm sure many park-goers have the same question!
I just spoke with a friendly Cast Member at the Walt Disney World Resort regarding your question. While there is not a timeframe for when Park Hopping will return, Guests purchasing tickets for 2021 are welcome to add the Park Hopper option to their tickets. If park hopping is still not permitted by the time your visit arrives in January, you may adjust your tickets by speaking with Cast Member. I recommend checking the
Disney Parks Blog (regularly) for any announcement regarding our beloved Park Hopping option!
While we wait for Park Hopping to return I wanted to let you know that
Mickey made a big announcement about a Disney-favorite that will be returning just in time for your January visit!
Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort will reopen to Guests on December 16th! You can begin making your reservations on October 17th! Mickey, Minnie, and their pals will be hosting a celebratory breakfast daily! In honor of the big reopening, they have added some new items to the breakfast menu! The "Celebration" Mickey pancake will be very popular, but I still can't resist the Mickey-shaped waffles!
Happy planning (and strategizing), Julie! Come back to visit planDisney if we can be of further assistance.
Hakuna Matata! Jonathan G.
