Hi Jeff! Welcome to planDisney!
Can you believe how close your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is now? It will be here before you know it! There is so much to do in the last few days before a vacation, but it is worth it when you are finally enjoying your vacation. You will have a lot of fun!
You have done an excellent job of planning for your visit. With your
Walt Disney World theme park tickets in place, as well as your initial
Disney Park Pass reservations ready to go, you are on your way to a well-prepared trip! When you have the Park Hopper Option ticket you only need to make a reservation for the first theme park you will visit that day and you must visit that theme park first. Then, when park hopping hours begin (currently at 2:00 PM), you can head over to the next theme park.
The only time you can't park hop to another theme park is if that theme park is at maximum capacity. But good news! I haven't had that issue at all since park hopping returned earlier this year. You can easily check that a theme park is welcoming new Guests by using the
My Disney Experience mobile app. If you scroll down to the Park Hours and choose "All Hours," each theme park's hours will pop up. As long as you see park hopper hours listed, you are all set to hop over!
I hope this helps, Jeff! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
