Can I go to multiple Disney parks in one day?

Guests who purchased a ticket or Annual Pass with the Park Hopper benefits will be able to visit more than one park per day. We will set specific Park Hopper hours during which this option is available. Park Hopper hours will start at 2 PM each day and end at the park's scheduled close time.



Yes, you can visit multiple Disney parks in one day using the "Park Hopper" option on your ticket. In 2026, Disney has significantly simplified the rules for "Park Hopping" at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort. After years of pandemic-era restrictions, guests are now able to move between parks at any time of day without waiting for a specific 1:00 PM or 11:00 AM window. However, you must still make a Park Reservation for the first park you plan to visit, and you must physically enter that first park before you can "hop" to a second or third one. This flexibility allows you to "rope-drop" a popular attraction in the Magic Kingdom in the morning and then head to EPCOT for dinner and fireworks in the evening. At Disneyland, you can simply walk across the esplanade between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. It is important to note that Park Hopping is subject to capacity, though it is extremely rare for a park to be completely closed to hopping guests outside of major holidays.
