Can you park hop with Disney annual pass?

To use the Park Hopper benefit, Annual Passholders must make a theme park reservation for the first park they plan to visit AND enter that first park prior to visiting another.



Yes, Disney Annual Passholders (known as "Magic Key" holders at Disneyland and "Incredi-Pass," "Sorcerer," "Pirate," or "Pixie Dust" holders at Disney World) can park hop. At Walt Disney World, Passholders can hop at any time during park hours, though they may still need a reservation for their first park of the day (except on "Good-to-Go Days"). At Disneyland Resort, Passholders can hop starting at 11:00 AM, though a major policy change in late 2026 is expected to officially drop this time restriction, allowing total freedom to move between parks from opening until closing. Park hopping remains a primary benefit of the Annual Pass, allowing guests to chase shorter wait times or catch specific nighttime shows in different parks. However, hopping is always subject to the destination park's capacity, though closures are rare.
