We have some incredible news regarding park hopping at Walt Disney World Resort!

All-day Park Hopper access is finally returning to Disney World starting Jan. 9, 2024, for all guests with a Park Hopper ticket or an Annual Pass! 

This means, the final day with Park Hopper hours is on Jan. 8, 2024.

On days when an Annual Passholder needs a park reservation, they must visit their first park before they can park hop at any time starting Jan. 9, 2024.

Annual Passholders may visit the parks after 2 p.m. without needing a theme park reservation, except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom.

On days when theme park reservations are required for Annual Passholders and certain non-dated tickets, Passholders and guests will be able to take advantage of the updates to Park Hopper access after visiting their first park. For example, if a Passholder has a reservation at EPCOT and enters the park at 9:00 AM for a quick ride or two, they can then head to another park right after.  

Remember: Disney previously announced theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets starting Jan. 9, 2024.

Also, “Good-to-go days” for Annual Passholders begin sometime in January. This means the theme park reservation calendar will be updated periodically and will show Annual Passholders select days when they may visit a park without needing a reservation (blockout dates will continue to apply).
