Beginning January 9, 2024, theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets. For other admission types, theme park reservations may be required. If your admission requires a theme park reservation, be sure to check reservation availability before purchasing.
Please note that theme park reservations are limited in number and subject to availability. Availability can change until the theme park reservation is finalized.
And finally, all-day park hopping access returns on January 9th! Guests with a park hopper option ticket or Annual Passholders can once again hop to another park at any time during the day! No more having to wait until 2pm!
We have been waiting for these to return to Disney and I’m happy to report that tomorrow is the day!
