All-Day Park Hopping Returns to Walt Disney World Resort in 2024
All-Day Park Hopping is returning! Beginning January 9, 2024, Walt Disney World Resort will allow guests with a Park Hopper ticket or an Annual Pass to visit any other theme park at any time during park hours, subject to capacity limitations. Previously, Park Hopper access was only permitted after 2 p.m., but now guests can visit another park whenever they want.
On days when Annual Passholders and certain non-dated ticket holders require theme park reservations, they can take advantage of the Park Hopper access after visiting their first park. For instance, if an Annual Passholder has a reservation at EPCOT and enters the park at 9 a.m. for a few rides, he or she can then head to another park right after.
In January, Disney will introduce "good-to-go days" for Walt Disney World Resort Passholders, where they can visit a theme park without a reservation on select days. Blockout dates will apply, but the theme park reservation calendar will be periodically updated to show Passholders the days when they can visit a Disney World theme park without a reservation.
Disney World is making these changes to improve guests' experience and make visiting the theme parks more enjoyable. The goal is to provide more value for a vacation and help guests enjoy the theme parks the way they want to. Other changes include complimentary self-parking for Disney Resort hotel stays, return of parking trams to all four theme parks, digital downloads of select PhotoPass attraction photos, and more.
The changes will come into effect from January 9, 2024, and guests can start planning their visits now for an amazing experience.
