Hey there, Melanie! Thanks for stopping by
planDisney with your question.
Isn't it so exciting that
park hopping has returned to Walt Disney World? I've missed being able to pop over to
Epcot in the evenings for a bite to eat. But, as of today, the wait is officially over. Currently, park hopping does look a bit different than it used to but it's not complicated at all.
Here is a breakdown of how park hopping is currently working:
That's it! There is no need, currently, to make a second park pass reservation for the park you plan on hopping over to. Also, at this time, you are able to hop to multiple parks throughout the day as long as it is after 2:00 p.m. Park to Park transportation resumed today as well, making it very simple for Guests to hop to another park via a bus. Just a heads up though, before entering the bus Cast Members were verifying that each Guest did have valid theme park admission with the park hopping benefit.
Because the return of park hopping is so new, I'd highly suggest keeping an eye on the Disney Parks Blog or coming back here closer to your vacation for a real-time update in case something has changed.
I hope this helps Melanie, happy hopping!
