Park hopping returns to Walt Disney World
Park guests at Walt Disney World could not park hop between parks after the COVID-19 shut down in 2020.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Walt Disney World is allowing park guests to park hop once again.
When the parks reopened after shutting down in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, park-hopping was not allowed and guests could only visit one park at a day with a reservation. As of Friday, park guests can visit multiple parks a day once again.
Disney previously said that "guests who purchased a ticket or annual pass with Park Hopper benefits will be able to visit more than one park per day, with some new modifications as part of our ongoing focus on health and safety."

Starting at 2 p.m. in the afternoon, you are allowed to visit another park. Guests must make a reservation through the Disney Park Pass site for the first park they plan to visit and enter the first park prior to going to the second park. A park reservation is reportedly not required after the first park, but reservation requirements are subject to change.
"These modifications are designed to help us continue managing attendance in a way that fosters physical distancing. Additionally, other enhanced health and safety measures remain in effect, including face coverings required for all guests ages two and up," the theme park company explained.
On the same day that park hopping returned, Walt Disney World announced a new deal for Florida residents to be able to come and enjoy the parks for a much cheaper price in 2021.
