Hi David,
Welcome to planDisney! You must be thrilled to finally be able to take your first Walt Disney World vacation! May will be here before you know it.
Park Hopping is a great way to be able to visit multiple parks in one day. Our family loves the festivals at EPCOT, and adding on the Park Hopper Option to our tickets allows us the freedom to spend a little time in the park each day without missing out on any of the fun to be had at other parks. During your trip, be sure to check out the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. In addition to all of the regular attractions and entertainment in EPCOT, you'll find enchanting character topiaries and stunning garden displays, be able to treat yourself to delicious food from the outdoor kitchens, and get your groove on to live music in the
Garden Rocks Concert Series. While you're on vacation, performers include Flock of Seagulls, Collin Raye, and Thelma Houston.
Great news! By adding on the
Park Hopper Option, you'll be able to visit two or more parks per day. You just have to make a Park Pass reservation for your first park of the day. At 2 PM (or whenever the park hopping time begins), you'll be able to go to a second park. You could even visit all four parks in one day if you were feeling really adventurous!
One more tip: be sure to stop by Guest Relations at any park or at the Front Desk of your Disney Resort Hotel and ask for a First Visit button. It's a memorable keepsake and fun way to let everyone know you are experiencing Disney magic for the first time!
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
