Full day Park Hopping Returns

On October 11th, Disney announced that beginning January 9, 2024, guests with a ticket with Park Hopper benefits or an Annual Pass will be able to once again visit another theme park at any time of day during park hours. As a reminder, since returning in 2021, Park Hopper access has only been available after 2 p.m. each day.

Note annual passholders and other guests with non-dated tickets will still need a park reservation and to enter that park first, but will be able to hop as soon as they want. “Dated” tickets will no longer require park reservations as of January 9th.
