Hi there, Alvaro - welcome to planDisney!
Thanks for stopping by with your question for our team of panelists. We love to help Guests just like you from around the globe plan their very own, very magical, Walt Disney World Resort vacations!
Each day that you plan to visit the Theme Parks during your vacation, you will need valid admission (i.e., Theme Park Ticket or Annual Pass) and a
Park Pass Reservation. You will need to make a Park Pass Reservation for the
first Theme Park you plan to visit on that day. The Park Hopper Option is a great add-on to your Theme Park Tickets, unlocking additional flexibility and fun. With this option added to your ticket, you will be able to hop to any other available Theme Park beginning at 2 p.m. each day.
So, if you plan to start the first day of your vacation at
Magic Kingdom Park, and then want to hop over to
EPCOT in the afternoon (currently after 2 p.m.), you would make a Park Pass Reservation for Magic Kingdom Park and then use your Park Hopper to experience EPCOT that afternoon. If you'd like to start at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park the next day of your vacation, you'd make a Park Pass Reservation for that park for your second day. Again, starting at 2 p.m. you'll be able to visit other available parks!
While this is an important change compared to how Park Hopping worked in the past, the new system is designed to better accommodate attendance to ensure all of us have a more enjoyable visit! Alvaro, you should also know that Park Pass Reservations are limited and could become unavailable as we get closer to the date of your visit. For this reason, and to ensure you have the flexibility to select the parks you want to start at on each day, I recommend making your Park Pass Reservations as soon as possible!
I hope this information is helpful as you continue planning, Alvaro! You'll be visiting during the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival and the brand-new
TRON / Lightcycle Run rollercoaster will also be accepting Guests into the grid at Magic Kingdom Park at that time - get ready to make some magical memories!
