Hello Matt!
I can tell that you are getting excited about your family Walt Disney World vacation!
Walt Disney World's 50th Aniversary Celebration which started on October 1st, 2021, and goes on for 18 months, gives Guests something extra to celebrate!
The way the
Park Hopper Option works is that you have to add it to your entire base ticket (all of the days that you have purchased). In your case, it would have to be purchased for all five days of your tickets. The Park Hopper Option is an upgrade to your tickets that will allow you to visit more than one theme park on the same day. You can see how much the Park Hopper Option will cost for your tickets by looking at the
Walt Disney World Theme Park Ticket website.
If you choose to purchase the Park Hopper Option, you can Park Hop after 2:00 pm as long as there is park availability for the park you are hopping to. To do this, first, you will have to make a park reservation for the Walt Disney World Theme Park, where you will start your Disney day, and you must enter that park before you are eligible to Park Hop on that particular day. You do not have to reserve the second park of the day that you are planning on Park Hop to. Remember that park hopping is currently available after 2:00 pm each day based on availability. You can check the
Park Hours Calendar or the My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date Park Hopper hours.
I hope your next Walt Disney World vacation is truly amazing!
