Hello and welcome to planDisney, Erin!
Thank you for stopping by with your question about
Park Hopper Option. Nothing makes us happier than helping fellow Guests as they plan a visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
As you are aware, all Guests ages 3 and older are required to have both valid admission and a
theme park reservation for the same park on the same date. Guests visiting with Park Hopper Option can visit more than one park per day, but they must make a reservation for the first park they plan to visit and enter that first park before visiting another park. Park Hopper hours currently start at 2:00 PM, so you will only be allowed to start hopping at that time. Please note that the ability to visit another park is subject to capacity limitations.
planDisney tip: I recommend keeping the latest version of the
My Disney Experience app on your mobile device, as Guests will be notified if Park Hopper Option is unavailable at a theme park.
I hope this helps you while planning, Erin. Stop by once again real soon if you have additional questions and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
