Hi Mark! Thanks for stopping by planDisney!
I'm excited about your upcoming visit to Orlando and the Walt Disney World Resort during the holiday season. There is never a more magical time to visit than this time of the year. You'll still be able to catch the festive décor throughout the parks and possibly some special holiday happenings.
Mark, I have great news! You can absolutely
purchase a single-day park ticket to visit both Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. You'll need to add the
Park Hopper Option to your ticket in order to visit both parks in one day. Unfortunately, no senior citizen discounts are being offered at this time.
You can purchase your ticket one of two ways. First, you can visit the Walt Disney World website and select "Theme Park Tickets" in the drop-down menu. Pick a one-day ticket and add on the Park Hopper Option here. Next, select the date you plan to visit and follow the prompts to complete the purchase. Your second option is to
call the Walt Disney World Resort and speak to a Cast Member for assistance. They can take care of the entire process over the phone.
When visiting two parks in one day, you'll need to
make a theme park reservation for the first park you plan to visit. Head back to the website and select "My Disney Experience" to log on or create your account. Once you log in, you'll need to link your park ticket to your account. Select 'Park Tickets" followed by "Link Tickets". Enter the Ticket ID Code you received in your confirmation email upon purchase. Once linked, select "Park Reservations" followed by "Make a Park Reservation" on the home page of your
My Disney Experience account. Select which park you plan to visit first on this day to secure your spot!
Mark, you are going to have an amazing time during your visit! With the proper planning, you should be able to fit in everything you want to do at each park in one day. Park hopping begins at 2 PM each day, so you'll be able to hop to the second park at this time.
Happy planning!
Greg
