    I’m annual pass holder. have a reservation for Magic Kingdom to see new parade. Arriving after 2. Can we visit another park first and then Magic Kingdom? If we have to go to MK first, can we hop to another park after and still return to Magic Kingdom?

    Hi Donna,

    Welcome to planDisney! A fellow Floridian and Annual Passholder? Yes ma'am, consider this a Mickey-style high five across the Sunshine State! 

    I’m so excited you have plans to catch the new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, at Magic Kingdom. It's pure Disney magic from start to finish, and seeing it through the eyes of a seasoned Passholder like you? Chef’s kiss!

    Now let’s talk park hopping strategy. Since you already have a theme park reservation for Magic Kingdom, you’ll need to enter Magic Kingdom first before visiting any other park that day, even if you're arriving after 2 PM. I double-checked this with a savvy Cast Member to be sure! So while you can hop later in the day, that first scan into your reserved park is a must-do.

    So go ahead and make the most of that Passholder pixie dust. Your Florida Disney days are sounding pretty fabulous.

    See ya real soon,
    Emille
