Hiya Larry, and welcome to
planDisney!
You must be so excited that your summer vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth is just around the corner. My family and I will be visiting that same week, and can't wait! We were especially thrilled to hear that
nighttime spectaculars and fireworks will be part of our world by the time we arrive.
I'm glad to hEAR you're all set with theme park tickets and a resort stay. Don't forget to
make theme park reservations for the parks where you plan to start your day. With the
Park Hopper® option, anytime after 2:00 PM, you can head to any theme park you like. To add this upgrade, you can either
call ahead of time or visit
Guest Relations upon arrival. If you decide to do this, the Park Hopper® option will be applied to the duration of your ticket; it's not possible to just designate a single day for park hopping.
Larry, my family enjoys the flexibility of park hopping, and we take advantage of it on most days of our vacation. Sometimes we just want to pop into a theme park to experience a favorite attraction or enjoy a meal, and having tickets with the Park Hopper® option allows us to do this as often as we please. Fortunately, you don't have to make a decision right away, and you can even choose to upgrade your tickets midway through your first day visiting the theme parks. You might realize that one park per day is enough, or you might be ready to bibbidi bobbidi bounce right away! Simply pass by any Guest Relations outside a theme park or the
Disney Ticket Center a Disney Springs to take care of any add-ons.
I hope this is helpful as you begin to count down the final weeks and days until your August adventure. Thanks for sending your question our way, and we can't wait to see ya real soon!
Betsy
