Hello there! Thank you for bringing your question to us, and welcome to planDisney!
I'm so excited to hear that you're heading to
Walt Disney World Resort this September! There is surely magic waiting for you around every corner, like the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Make sure you check out the global marketplaces and live entertainment! Also, you'll be able to experience everything that
The World's Most Magical Celebration has to offer, such as the
Beacons of Magic in each of the parks.
It sounds like you have a One Day Park Hopper Guest Ticket, which is so exciting! From what I understand, your friend will need to be present for you to use this ticket and enter the park. However, since your ticket also includes the
Park Hopper Option, I was told that your friend does not need to be present if you decide to hop to another park! Please remember that you will be able to park hop after 2 PM. Also, you must first enter the park where you've made a Theme Park Reservation with the
Disney Park Pass system. If you haven't made your Theme Park Reservation yet, I would recommend doing this as soon as possible!
While you're waiting for your magical trip to begin, I would suggest keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and the
planDisney Podcast! These are great ways to stay up-to-date with everything new and exciting happening in the parks.
I hope I was able to answer your question today! If you have any other questions, please visit us again. Remember, you've got a friend in me!
To infinity and beyond!
Michelle
