Hi Russ, and welcome to planDisney!
Yes! Theme park reservations using the
Disney Park Pass Reservation System are required to visit your first theme park of the day. However, you are not currently required to make a
theme park reservation for the second theme park you choose to visit starting at 2:00 PM each day. For example, you can visit EPCOT at rope drop and enjoy the surroundings and attractions, and then using the
Park Hopper Option of your ticket, visit Magic Kingdom Park starting at 2:00 PM and enjoy all that theme park has to offer.
If you have access to a car and are a registered Disney Resort Hotel guest, standard theme park parking is included. If you are not a registered Disney Resort Hotel guest, you will pay one parking fee that is good all day at all four theme parks. In other words, you can pay for parking at the first theme park, and then when you travel to the next theme park on the same day, just show your receipt to the parking attendant and proceed to have more fun!
Have a magical experience!
