    do i need a park reservation for 1day magic your way park hopper ticket?

    Welcome to planDisney, Lismary! Every day at the Walt Disney World Resort is a magical day, but utilizing the Park Hopper Option to visit more than one park in a single day is my favorite way to spend a Disney day! Let's talk about park hopping to make the most of the magic!

    Lismary, because your 1-Day Theme Park Ticket is a date-based ticket, it does not require you to make a park reservation. You can choose to enter any of the four theme parks to begin your magical day and then hop to any of the additional theme parks throughout the day as you wish, subject to park availability. There are times when some of the theme parks may reach capacity limits, but this usually only happens during the peak holiday season, and you will receive a notification through the My Disney Experience mobile app if this does happen so you can adjust your plans.

    To park hop, you can easily rely on Disney Resort Transportation to get you from destination to destination; to me, that's part of the fun! I love catching the Disney Monorail to travel between Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT and also the Disney Skyliner to take flight between Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. There are also buses and boats available, depending on your destination, so be sure to take a look at all the complimentary transportation options as you plan your day!

    Lismary, as a guest using the Park Hopper Option, I'd also love to share with you that Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a great option for helping save time as you hop around! On my most recent visit, I started my day at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park before hopping to Disney's Hollywood Studios and later Magic Kingdom Park. I purchased Lightning Lane Multi Pass for Animal Kingdom, but after tapping in to redeem my first preselected experience, I was able to select a later return time for an attraction at EPCOT for my next selection. As the day went on, I was able to redeem Lightning Lanes in all three theme parks! Additionally, you can purchase up to two Lightning Lane Single Pass attractions in any of the theme parks with a valid park hopper ticket; if your goal is to experience as many attractions as possible in one day, this is a great way to help organize your day!

    Lismary, no matter where you start or end your day, there's magic to be made at each park! If you need any help planning your can't-miss experiences or have any other questions before your visit, come on back to planDisney and let us know! We're excited to make magic with you!

    See you real soon,
