Hello Colleen,
Thanks for stopping by
planDisney with your question! Adding the
Park Hopper Option is a great way add flexibility to your vacation itinerary. If you love the restaurants in
EPCOT, you can dine at a different one every day and still be able to visit your favorite attractions in other parks.
If you are planning to park hop and have added the Park Hopper Option to your tickets, you only need to make a reservation for the FIRST park you plan to visit. At 2:00 PM, or whenever park hopping begins for the day, you can simply head off to another park, no reservations are required as long as you went to the park where your initial reservation was first. If, for some reason a park reaches capacity, you will get a notification on your
My Disney Experience app. If you are hopping directly from one park to another, ask the transportation cast member as well. They can let you know. Finally, you can call (407)560-5000 for an automated message that will let you know if park hopper access has been restricted at any of the parks.
Even on busy days when there are no reservations left for parks, many guests have added the Park Hopper Option to their tickets, and several guests leave to take a break during the day, so you'll most likely be able to switch parks easily.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
