Hi Katie!
Park hopping is a wonderful way to visit the parks at Walt Disney World! You can visit all four theme parks in one day if you are up to it! You can begin park hopping at 2:00 pm each day up until the park closes.
I love to visit
Disney's Animal Kingdom in the morning because the animals are usually more active in the early hours. You will need a Disney Park Pass Reservation for the first park that you visit, but not for the parks that you hop to later in the day. Also, make sure that you scan into the first park that you have a reservation for during the day. If you do not scan into the first park, you will not be able to get into the other parks that day.
You are also going to love
Disney's Boardwalk Inn. Disney's Boardwalk area has great restaurants and entertainment options. It is also super convenient to get to Disney's Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT. You can enter EPCOT through the International Gateway. You can enter and exit through the International Gateway later in the day, so you can definitely use this entrance to get back to your resort at the end of the day!
I hope you have a magical vacation!
Magically,
Stacy
