Update: Disney Addresses New Park Hopping Glitch

Check out the latest information on park hopping restrictions. Are they going away? Let us know what you think.

Park Hopping

Before the parks closed in March 2020, Disney World Guests could park hop as early as they wanted as long as they had park tickets. With the reopening in July 2020, park hopping was temporarily paused so Disney could continue to limit how many Guests entered each park.

Modifications

Park hopping returned in 2021 but with some modifications. The biggest change related to the 2:00 pm rule which stops Guests from park hopping until 2:00 pm. Due to the park pass reservation system, Guests also cannot park hop until they enter the park they have a reservation for. See our complete guide to park hopping HERE.

These rules are still in effect today. However, with many other health and safety protocols that were first introduced in 2020 they may not be necessary anymore.

Glitch

My Disney Experience makes it easy to see when you can park hop each day. Under each park on each date, it will give you a time which is always 2:00 pm until (insert closing time). Yesterday, we shared that park hopping times disappeared from both Apple and Android versions of the My Disney Experience app.

Capacity Limits

We know Disney is still using the park pass system to control where Guests go. It doesn’t seem like park hopping regulations are going away either. See why we think it needs a big change in this post. Do you agree that Disney is enforcing capacity limits, or is it just a way to track us?

Update

This morning, Disney’s park hopping has reappeared on both Disneyland and Disney World apps. Although I (Susan) cannot wait for these restrictions to go away, it looks like they’re be here longer.

Park Hopping reappeared on Disney apps.
