Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for taking the time to send your question to us here at planDisney! There are so many great ways to customize Theme Park Tickets, Disney really makes it easy for guests to plan a "Practically Perfect" vacation for everyone.
When it comes to adding the Park Hopper option to your
Theme Park Tickets, it is a one time purchase that is added to each ticket, meaning that the option will be included for the entire length of your Theme Park Tickets. This option cannot be added to only select days of your Theme Park Tickets, even if you choose to add the Park Hopper Option halfway through your vacation the cost will remain the same. With that being said, the Park Hopper Option can be added at any point during your Walt Disney World Resort Vacation, as long as there is at least one day left on your Theme Park Ticket and the Theme Park Ticket is still valid. My family and I love the Park Hopper Option, it gives us flexibility during our vacation to quickly hop over to another Theme Park for dinner or change our plans depending on our moods. We love to enjoy a quick visit to Magic Kingdom Park at the end of our day for a quick ride on Space Mountain or just to enjoy the Cinderella Castle views.
Please keep in mind that with the Park Hopper Option, guests are required to have a valid Theme Park Ticket as well as a
Theme Park Reservation to enter any Theme Park. Using the Park Hopper Option, guests must visit the Theme Park that has been reserved first, prior to Hopping to another Theme Park after 2:00.
I hope you have a magical time at Walt Disney World Resort, Stephanie. Please let us know if you have any other questions as you continue to plan your vacation, we are always happy to help.
