    Reservations for parks. I need help. We are celebrating my granddaughter’s 5th birthday at Disney, but the parks we want aren’t open for reservations on the dates. Is there a way to be able to visit those parks on those 3/14 or 3/15.

    Hi and welcome to planDisney, Linda!

    First, happiest early birthday to your granddaughter! How amazing will that be for her to spend her birthday at Walt Disney World Resort! What a way to celebrate!

    I know how disappointing it can be when the theme park you desire to visit is booked for the timeframe you are looking to visit. There may be a chance if you have the Park Hopper Option added to your theme park tickets. You do not have to have a reservation to visit a second theme park after 2:00 PM, but you will need to have a reservation for the first theme park for the day. For example, you make a reservation at EPCOT but really want to visit Disney's Hollywood Studios, but can't because you can't get a reservation. You will first visit EPCOT, and then, as long as Disney's Hollywood Studios is not closed due to capacity, you can visit Hollywood Studios after 2:00 PM. Please note you must visit the reserved theme park first, so even if you have experienced all that you can there, I recommend going in and grabbing a quick bite to eat or do some shopping and when the time comes, arrive at the next theme park after 2:00 PM. 

    We are here if you need us prior to your arrival. Sending lots of pixie dust your way!

    I hope your granddaughter has the most magical birthday!
