Hey there, Naomi! Thanks for stopping by
planDisney with your question. Park hopping is my favorite way to spend a Disney day and I think you'll really enjoy it too.
Naomi, park hopping wise - you are able to visit one, two or even all four of the Walt Disney World Theme Parks in a single day if you would like. It's totally up to you. I've done all of it before and it's so much fun. However you would like to plan your day is totally up to you.
Right now,
park hopping looks a little bit different than it did before. Here's how it is currently working:
- Guests wishing to park hop must have valid theme park admission with the park hopper option
- Guests wishing to park hop must have a park pass reservation for the initial theme park they plan on visiting each day
- On the day of, Guests wishing to park hop must scan in and enter the theme park with the park pass reservation first before continuing on to other theme parks later in the day
- Park hopping hours now start at 2:00 p.m. and last until each park closes in the evening
- To make park hopping a little bit more convenient at this time, complimentary park-to-park bus transportation is currently being provided
If I could make a suggestion, have you considered changing your
park pass reservation around to start off the day at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park instead? I like to do Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park in the early hours of the day to get all of the best attractions in with little to no wait time, especially right now because Epcot opens later than the other theme parks. If you did this, you'd be able to enjoy all of the major attractions at Disney's Animal Kingdom before lunchtime. Then, right around 2:00 p.m., you could head over to Epcot for the rest of the day. It would just save you some back-and-forth time and I think you'd be able to enjoy Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park a little bit better. I've also found that the animals at the Kilimanjaro Safari attraction are much more active in the morning which can be really fun to see.
Whichever way you choose, I know you are going to have a great time park hopping, Naomi. If I can help you with anything else, please don't hesitate to stop back by and
ask me.
Have fun and happy hopping!
