Hi Alison! Welcome to planDisney!
Can you believe that your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is almost here?! It sounds like you have done an excellent job of planning the details of your visit with your
theme park ticket and
Disney Park Pass reservations in place. Your trip will be here in no time!
With the
current park hopping procedures, you need a Disney Park Pass reservation for the first theme park you plan to visit that day and you must visit that theme park first before park hopping. Since you are all set with your
Disney's Animal Kingdom reservation, you'll want to head there first, then hop over to
Magic Kingdom Park once park hopping hours open around 2:00 PM. I think starting your day flying on the back of a banshee in Avatar Flight of Passage and ending the day sailing through Pirates of the Caribbean sounds pretty perfect!
I hope this helps and that you have the BEST time, Alison! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
