Hi Mary,
Thank you for visiting PlanDisney, we are always happy to help! It looks like you are planning a visit to Walt Disney World Resort soon, how exciting!
In order to visit a Theme Park at Walt Disney World Resort, guests require a valid
Theme Park Ticket as well as a Theme Park Reservation. Prior to purchasing your Theme Park Tickets, I would recommend checking
Theme Park availability to ensure there are reservations available for your visit. Once you have verified that there is availability, you can purchase your Theme Park Tickets
online, and from there visit the
Disney Park Pass System to secure your reservation for your Theme Park each day. Don't forget to link your tickets to your
My Disney Experience account to keep track of all your Theme Park Tickets, Park Pass Reservations and Advanced Dining Reservations.
If you are interested in adding the Park Hopper Option to your Theme Park Tickets you are in luck! Park Hopping is available after 2: 00 pm. Guests are required to enter the Theme Park that they have reserved and from there they can hop to another Theme Park later on in the day to enjoy something different. We like to Park Hop over to Epcot in order to dine at one of the fantastic Dining Locations to finish our evening.
Guests are able to secure
Advanced Dining Reservations online up to 60 Days in advance. Reservations are highly recommended, as some locations are extremely popular and fill up quickly.
I hope you have a magical visit at Walt Disney World Resort, Mary. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we are here for all your planning needs!
