    I have a park reservation tomorrow at Epcot but have dinner reservations at Magic Kingdom when can I park hop? Can I park hop before 2pm after I scan in at Epcot I have the pirate pass.

    Hi, there, Hailey, and welcome to planDisney! As a fellow Florida resident and annual passholder, I'll be happy to help you today. Let's pour out some cold orange juice and talk about park hopping with your pass!

    I'm happy to let you know that you are free to hop to a new theme park anytime after you scan in at the park you made a reservation for. For example, if you scan in at EPCOT at 9:00 AM, you can technically turn right around and board the monorail to Magic Kingdom Park at 9:01 AM. How magical is that?

    Annual Passholders can enter any theme park after 2:00 PM without a theme park reservation, except for Magic Kingdom Park on weekends. Since tomorrow is a weekday, and you have a reservation, you're all set! Keep in mind that park capacity can also impact passholders accessing theme parks, but I'm sprinkling pixie dust your way so you'll be able to enjoy the parks of your choosing tomorrow.

    I hope you can spend time at the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival before you head to Magic Kingdom. I love admiring the fabulous topiaries and stopping for some fun PhotoPass opportunities. Be sure to ask your PhotoPass photographers if they have any festival-exclusive Magic Shots. My favorite is the fairy wings shot as you enter the World Showcase toward Canada. You'll feel just like Tinker Bell when you see the finished image.

    Hailey, enjoy that Disney Pirate Pass! My husband and I relaxed in the Annual Passholder Lounge a few days ago, and it felt like a true VIP experience. The snacks, cool drinks, and comfy chairs were the perfect way to recharge for the rest of our EPCOT day. Look for the lounge in the Morocco Pavilion during V.I.Passholder Days!

    Please stop by planDisney anytime!

    Magic awaits,
    Elaine
