    I got a single day pass for Disney world with the park hopper option. Can I start at any park, or do I have to start in a specific park?

    Welcome to planDisney, Marlayna, and welcome to the magic! It looks like you've already arrived at the Walt Disney World Resort, so I'm going to get right to your question so you'll be ready to enjoy the most magical day ever!

    Marlaya, with your Park Hopper Option, you can select whichever park you want as your first park of the day! I usually try to start at whichever park is opening earliest to maximize my time (usually, this is Animal Kingdom) and then also consider which transportation methods I'll be using to most effectively hop around throughout the day!

    If you're planning to try to visit all four parks in your single-day visit, I'd recommend choosing a few attractions or experiences that you don't want to miss at each one, and be sure to also plan for some festival snacks at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! If you haven't already, you can also look into purchasing Lightning Lane passes to save you some time in line - with your park hopper ticket, you can purchase for any of the four theme parks and make your initial three selections at that park, but as you redeem your initial selections, you can make new selections at any of the parks for later in the same day, subject to availability! This is one of my favorite ways to maximize the magic while hopping around!

    Marlayna, I hope this helps, and I hope you have the best day visiting as many of the parks as you can squeeze into your day! If you have any other questions, we'll be here to help at planDisney!

    Embrace the Magic,
    Alison
