Hi Chelsea,
Thank you for visiting planDisney with your question! I'm happy to see you are considering the Park Hopper Option, my family and I love park hopping throughout Walt Disney World Resort!
With the Park Hopper, guests are required to have a valid
Theme Park Ticket as well as make a
Theme Park Reservation using the Disney Park Pass system for the first Theme Park they will be visiting for the day. Once you have entered that Theme Park, you will be able to "hop" to another Theme Park after 2:00 pm, provided there is availability. To check for availability, after 2:00, click on "Theme Parks" in the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. From there click on "all hours" and you will be able to confirm if there is availability at any of the other Theme Parks. If a Theme Park is at capacity for Park Hopping, it will be deleted from the Park Hopping Hours. You could also call the Theme Park Hopping automated phone line at (407) 560-5000 to check for availability.
When Park Hopping, my family and I love to head to a second Theme Park for dinner and some after dinner entertainment. If you Park Hop to Epcot, be sure to check out the
Taste of Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Relax and enjoy tasty treats from the Outdoor Kitchens while you stroll around the Theme Park admiring all of the incredible topiaries. I can't think of a better way to enjoy an evening!
I hope you have a magical time at Walt Disney World Resort, Chelsea. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are always happy to help.
