Hiya, Rachel! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm happy to let you know that yes, you are able to "hop" from one park to another after 2 PM with tickets that include the Park Hopper Option! In order to make sure that you have everything in place to park hop, I have a few next steps for you:
- Be sure that your tickets include the Park Hopper Option. To check this, log into your account online, hover your mouse over the My Disney Experience tab, and click My Plans. Scroll down past My Plans, Reservations and Tickets and toggle over to Tickets, Passes & Memory Maker. Here, you'll be able to view which tickets you have and the Guests they're assigned to. If you don't currently have the Park Hopper Option, you can call the Disney Reservation Center at (407) 934-7639 and they'll let you know of any options that may be available to you.
- Make your theme park reservation with the Disney Park Pass system for your first park. For you, that sounds like Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Then, after 2 PM, you will be able to "hop" to another park, such as Disney's Hollywood Studios! You do not need a theme park reservation for your second park at this time.
- Download and explore the My Disney Experience app! This is a great way to stay up-to-date with everything being offered at each park. You'll be able to check wait times for attractions, view park maps, and even mobile order food. Taking a little time to familiarize yourself with the app before your arrival will keep your trip feeling as easy as bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!
While you're waiting for your magical vacation to arrive, I'd suggest keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for exciting news and announcements, and be sure to tune in to the
planDisney Podcast for the best tips and tricks from panelists, themselves!
If you have any other questions, please visit us again. After all, you've got a friend in me!
See ya real soon!
