Hi Ryann,
Welcome to planDisney! We are so happy to see you with us.
We love that Walt Disney World Resort offers us so many different ways to spend our Disney vacation days. We can lounge around in the fabulous
Disney Resort hotel pools, go for a
trail ride atop a trusty steed,
see the World from a hot air balloon, or experience the adventure of all four theme parks (even in one day!) Adding the Park Hopper option to our Disney theme park tickets means that we can feel free to pop into
EPCOT for a snack after an exciting day exploring
Black Spire Outpost or that we can
mine for gems in Fantasyland after
trekking through Nepal. Where else can we do that?
If you decide that you want to freedom to explore that way on your next Walt Disney World vacation, please know that Disney theme park tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. This includes the Park Hopper option. If you decide to stay put in one incredible Disney theme park for the day, a refund for the Park Hopper option will not be available.
One way that we have found to make hopping through the Disney theme parks more approachable is to consider the location of your Disney Resort hotel. We love to stay in
Disney's BoardWalk area at
Disney's BoardWalk Inn,
Disney's Beach Club Resort,
Disney's Yacht Club Resort,
Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, or
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. Then, we can easily walk or hop aboard a FriendShip for boat transportation to EPCOT or Disney's Hollywood Studios. That level of convenience is a game-changer for the perfect Disney Day.
I hope that is helpful, Ryann! Please let us know if you have any other questions. We are here for you!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Sally
