    Hi, we are planning to stay 1 day in Orlando and wanted to visit Hollywood Studios but unfortunately, the park is not available on that day. What are our options now? Can we buy tickets for the same day at the park? Thanks

    Hi Xiaomeng!

    Welcome to planDisney!

    How exciting that you are visiting Walt Disney World for a day in May!

    As you stated, to visit any of the Walt Disney World theme parks, you need to have a valid park admission and a park reservation via the Disney Park Pass system. You mentioned that you reviewed the Disney Theme Park Reservation Availability for your desired date and park and Disney's Hollywood Studios is unavailable. I double-checked the calendar and unfortunately, it appears that both Disney's Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios are both unavailable on the day you plan to visit (May 30.) 

    However, EPCOT and Disney's Animal Kingdom are both still available. I recommend purchasing your one-day ticket now and adding the park hopper option. Make an advanced reservation for either EPCOT or Disney's Animal Kingdom

    When you arrive on May 30, first visit the park for which you have a reservation, then park hop over to Disney's Hollywood Studios after 2pm. It is important to note that with the Park Hopper ticket, Guests must make a Disney Park Pass reservation for the first park they plan to visit AND enter that first park prior to visiting another. At this time, a park reservation is not required after the first park, however, reservation requirements are subject to change.

    With this approach, you will be able to visit the park you desire and experience more than one park during your visit!

    I hope you have a magical vacation!
    Magically,
    Stacy
