**Big News: Park Hopping at Walt Disney World Just Got Better!**


Starting January 9, 2024, a world of magic awaits guests with Park Hopper benefits or Annual Passes. Say goodbye to waiting until 2 p.m. – now, you can hop between Disney theme parks anytime during regular hours (subject to capacity).


Enjoy a whole new world of freedom. Begin your day with a ride on Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom before a mouthwatering lunch at Via Napoli Pizzeria in EPCOT. Or how about a morning mission on the Slinky Dog at Disney's Hollywood Studios followed by a fireworks at Magic Kingdom Park? With Park Hopper, you have the power to shape your Disney adventure!


On days when reservations are required for Annual Passholders and specific non-dated ticket holders, you can take advantage of Park Hopper after your first park visit. Imagine starting at EPCOT, grabbing a quick ride or two at 9 a.m., and then leaping to another park.


But that's not all! Get ready for "good-to-go days" starting in January. This means periodic updates to the theme park reservation calendar, highlighting select days when Passholders can visit without a reservation (blockout dates remain).


At Disney, they're dedicated to making your visit easier, simpler, and more FUN! They understand how much Disney means to you, and they're committed to enhancing your holiday experience:


🚗 **Complimentary Self-Parking:** Back for Disney Resort hotel guests.

⏰ **Passholder Perk:** Access the parks after 2 p.m., excluding Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom.

📸 **Memory Keepers:** Digital downloads of select PhotoPass attraction photos included with Disney Genie+.

🚃 **Tram Return:** Parking trams are back in action at all four theme parks.


Coming January 9, 2024, even more magic unfolds:


🌟 **All-Day Park Hopper:** Explore multiple parks during operating hours.

📅 **No More Reservations:** Date-based ticket holders can skip the reservations.

🍽️ **Dining Delight:** Disney dining plans return for Resort hotel guests.


Your cherished Disney moments should be filled with excitement – from rope drop to fireworks. Soon, you'll enjoy these unforgettable days effortlessly. Plan your 2024 adventure with our friends and website supporters over at PortwoodTravel.com your trusted travel planner.


*To enjoy Park Hopper, Annual Passholders must make an initial theme park reservation and enter that park before visiting another. Alternatively, enter a park on a "good-to-go" date or after 2 p.m. (except Magic Kingdom on weekends) before park hopping. Terms and conditions apply, as per Walt Disney World Resort Annual Pass policies.


Let the magic begin! ✨
