Hiya, Angela, and welcome to planDisney! I hope you rang in 2024 in style at
Walt Disney World Resort. I can't think of a better place to be for that festive occasion. I'm so sorry I didn't see your question earlier; I wanted to respond because we value every guest question that comes our way.
As you know, New Year's Eve is a popular time to visit the theme parks. I don't mind the crowds because I know we're all there to celebrate the magic of the coming year. I hope you embraced the festivities and made some treasured memories.
For future reference, guests with the
Park-Hopper Option can theoretically enter different theme parks on the same day. Although it rarely happens, sometimes a theme park can reach capacity, so for safety, guests won't be allowed entry until enough people exit. This sometimes happens on major holidays, so I'm wishing on a star that you could enter
Magic Kingdom Park as you'd planned.
I'd also like to add that you can check Park-Hopping availability in the
My Disney Experience mobile app. Tap the three lines in the bottom right of your screen and select the Park Hours & Info tile to see hours and Park Hopper Availability. I always double-check before I leave one park for another.
Finally, theme park reservations and Park-Hopping procedures will change soon, so watch the
Disney Parks Blog for details.
Angela, I hope your visit was everything you dreamed of! Please stop by
planDisney anytime. My final tip is to include your arrival date when you submit future questions so I can be sure to answer them promptly.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
