    We have a pirate pass. I believe i saw in a post where we can not park hope to magic kingdom on Saturdays. Is this correct? We prefer starting at epcot then hoping to magic kingdom but want to see if that's an option.

    Hi Rebecca! 

    Thanks for bringing this question to planDisney!

    I’m happy to report that you can park hop with any Annual Pass (including the Pirate Pass) on any day of the week pending park capacity and blockout dates of your pass. So, you’ll be more than welcome to start your Saturday in Epcot, then hop over to Magic Kingdom. There’s nothing quite like ending your day watching Happily Ever After!

    Just make sure that you have a park reservation for whichever park you’ll be starting at…which will be Epcot in this case! As an Annual Passholder, you must scan into the park where you have your park reservation before you hop to another park. The exception to that is if you see it’s a good-to-go day on the park reservation calendar.  On those days, specifically, you will not need a theme park reservation in order to enter a park. 

    It’s also good to note that as an Annual Passholder, you can enter any park after 2:00 PM without a park reservation (pending park capacity), except Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays. That can give you a little more spontaneity and flexibility if you won’t be spending a whole day at the parks. 

    This doesn’t mean that you can’t visit Magic Kingdom on Saturdays and Sundays. It just means that you will need a reservation for that park on those days (or you’ll need to hop over to Magic Kingdom after scanning into another park first). 

    I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions!
