    Park Hopper® News

    As the phased reopening of Walt Disney World Resort continues, another exciting milestone is approaching that many Guests have been looking forward to: the return of the Park Hopper option!

    How It Works
    Starting January 1, 2021, Guests who purchased a ticket or annual pass with the Park Hopper benefits will be able to visit more than one park per day, with some new modifications as part of our ongoing focus on health and safety. These modifications are designed to help us continue managing attendance in a way that fosters physical distancing.

    • We will set specific Park Hopper hours during which this option will be available. Park Hopper hours will start at 2 PM each day and end at the park’s scheduled close time. Guests will soon be able to check DisneyWorld.com/ParkHours and the My Disney Experience app for the most up-to-date Park Hopper hours, as they could start earlier at a later date, depending on the day and park.
    • With the updated Park Hopper experience, Guests must make a Disney Park Pass reservation for the first park they plan to visit AND enter that first park prior to visiting another. At this time, a park reservation is not required after the first park, however, reservation requirements are subject to change.

    Please note that the ability to visit another park will be subject to the park’s capacity limitations.

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
    If you are visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios after visiting the first park, you will not be able to join the virtual queue for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

    Ticket Modifications & Cancellations
    In light of these updates, if you have a ticket that includes the ability to visit more than one park per day and you wish to modify or cancel your ticket, please call the Disney Reservation Center at (407) W-DISNEY or (407) 934-7639, or contact your travel professional.

      • If you’re asking about the sale of new Annual Passes, no, they are not for sale. Renewals are available and have been throughout the pandemic

    1. So the second park you visit is limited to that parks capacity. Does that mean if that park is at capacity, you can’t hop there? So you are paying for an option that may or may not happen?
