How many parks can you visit with park Hopper?

Ticket With Park Hopper Plus Option Make the most of your time at Walt Disney World with our Park Hopper Plus option which gives you access to all 4 theme parks and our 2 water parks!



With a Disney Park Hopper add-on in 2026, you can visit all four main theme parks at Walt Disney World (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom) in a single day if you have the stamina. There is no longer a "2:00 PM" start time restriction for standard date-based tickets; you can "hop" to your second, third, or fourth park at any time during park hours after you have entered your first park for the day. If you upgrade to a Park Hopper Plus ticket, you also gain access to Disney's "Water Parks" (Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach) and other "Magical Extras" like the miniature golf courses or the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. While most guests find two parks in one day to be the sweet spot, "four-park challenges" are popular among enthusiasts. Just keep in mind that "hopping" is always subject to the destination park's capacity limits, though in 2026, it is rare for a park to be so full that hoppers are turned away outside of major holidays like Christmas or New Year's Eve.

EPCOT is one of the biggest parks of all and takes a whole day easy. The illuminations at 9pm is worth staying for. AK is also fairly large. The up and down is, you could do it, you will lose around 1 to 2 hours going between parks and you probably wont see 50% of what both parks offer.
