    If I have a park hopper pass do I need a park reservation?

    Greetings, Ellen, and a warm welcome to planDisney!

    You’ve made a fantastic choice by adding the Park Hopper option to your tickets! This upgrade gives you the ultimate flexibility to go with the flow and make the most of your Disney adventure. My family loves to start the day bright and early in one park, take a mid-day break at our resort (hello, pool time!), and then hop to a different park in the evening for a whole new round of magic!

    As for theme park reservations, things have changed for the better! Once upon a time, every guest needed one, but now only a few specific ticket types still require reservations, including:
    Student group tickets
    Sport & Convention tickets
    Disney Military Salute Tickets
    Annual Passes
    Florida Resident Discover Disney Tickets

    As long as you have date-based tickets, you’re all set—no reservations needed! 

    Now, here’s a little fun fact! Did you know that Park Hopping has been a Disney staple since 1982? When EPCOT opened, guests could purchase a two-park ticket to visit both EPCOT and Magic Kingdom on the same day, making it the earliest version of Park Hopper!

    See ya real soon!
