Park Hopper Guide

Everything you need to know about visiting multiple parks in one day

What is Park Hopper?

Park Hopper is an add-on option for Disney World tickets that allows you to visit more than one theme park in a single day. Without it, your ticket only grants access to one park per day.

With Park Hopper, you can start your morning at Magic Kingdom, hop over to EPCOT for dinner, and catch the fireworks at Hollywood Studios — all in the same day.

How Park Hopping Works
  1. 1

    Make a park reservation for your first park

    Use the My Disney Experience app or website. You must have a reservation to enter your first park of the day.

  2. 2

    Enter your reserved park first

    You must tap into your reserved park before you can hop. You can't skip straight to a second park.

  3. 3

    After 2 PM, hop to any other park

    Starting at 2 PM, you can tap into any other park. No reservation needed for your second, third, or fourth park.

  4. 4

    Hop as many times as you want

    There's no limit on how many parks you can visit after 2 PM. Visit all four if you're ambitious!

Current Policies

Park Reservations

Park reservations are required for your first park of the day. This system was introduced during COVID and remains in effect. However, Park Hopper guests only need a reservation for their first park — not for any parks they hop to.

Same-Day Changes

You can change your first park reservation up to the day of your visit, subject to availability. Check the My Disney Experience app for current availability.

2 PM Start Time

The 2 PM hop time has been in effect since the parks reopened in 2020. Disney has indicated this may change in the future, but for now plan on having your first park until at least 2 PM.

Pricing

Park Hopper adds approximately $65–$95 to your base ticket price, depending on the length of your ticket. The longer your ticket, the more value you get from the add-on.

Policies and pricing subject to change. Check Disney's official site for current information.
