All Day Park Hopping Returns to Walt Disney World After 3 Year Hiatus

Bus Services Have Also changed to Reflect the Change

It is now possible for guests with valid Park Hopper ticket options to visit multiple parks at their convenience at any time of the day. Following the closure of Walt Disney World theme parks in summer 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, park hopping was unavailable. However, the option to visit more than one park daily was reinstated in January 2021 with a minor change. Guests had to wait until 2 pm to enter a second park. Also, guests with date-based tickets no longer need park pass reservations, so they do not have to pre-select the park they want to start their day.

Walt Disney World bus service between the four theme parks will begin earlier in the day. Before the Park Hopping change, bus transportation between the parks would only be available in the afternoon due to the 2 pm restriction on hopping. Now, bus service begins at 10 am. Here’s the announcement:

Bus transportation is now available between the theme parks beginning at 10:00 AM each day. Guests may also take the monorail when traveling between Magic Kingdom park and EPCOT. Bus services are not available from Magic Kingdom park to EPCOT at this time.

Those with Annual Passes can enter the parks without reservations on select Good to Go Days later this month. However, some dates still require a reservation, which can be made on the Walt Disney World Website.
