Hi Jamie! Welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you have been busy planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation and I am SO happy to hear it! You will be well-prepared when you arrive with your
Walt Disney World theme park tickets AND Disney Park Pass reservations in place and ready to go. I have a huge smile on my face just thinking of all the fun you are about to have!
The return of park hopping earlier this year has made a lot of people (including me!) very happy! There is something extra special about starting your day strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. in
Magic Kingdom Park and ending it with the delicious dishes from the
Outdoor Kitchens at the Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. It sounds pretty perfect to me!
I have good news, Jamie! You only need to make a
Disney Park Pass reservation for the first theme park you plan to visit. You must visit that theme park first, then you can hop over to the next theme park that afternoon when park hopping hours begin (currently at 2:00 PM). Make sure to have the
My Disney Experience mobile app on your phone for the most up-to-date information regarding park hopping. Before you park hop, check to see if park hopping hours are listed on the app to make sure the second theme park is not at capacity. This is the easiest and most convenient way to stay on top of things!
I hope this helps, Jamie! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
