Hey there, Nicole! Thanks for visiting us at planDisney with your question. You must be very excited to visit the Happiest Place on Earth with a group – I love being there with a bunch of my family and friends to share the magic with me!
I wouldn’t recommend relying on park reservation availability once you arrive at the parks, especially during this busy spring break season. I do see availability change quite often, so it’s worth it to keep refreshing the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar to see if something pops up.
With a
Park Hopper ticket, after 1:00 p.m. Guests are free to move back and forth between the two parks as often as they’d like. So even if the Guest just now buying the ticket gets a reservation to start at the other park, you’ll all be able to meet up after 1:00 p.m.. I know that's not ideal but wanted to mention it.
From my experience I would not recommend trying to change your current reservations to start at the other park, because you’ll have to cancel your current reservations to make new ones. In that short time the availability could change.
If you want to contact
Ticket Services to see if they can sprinkle any pixie dust on the situation for you, there’s no harm in trying, though there are no guarantees.
I’m wishing on a star that your reservations get sorted as you’d like! The magic awaits.
