Thank you so much for doing the leg work for us lol!!! Its going to be the 1st time im going with my family and you just melted my park hopping worries away. I tip my hat to you 🎩
I haven't gone park-hopping since I was 8 years old. I literally park-hopped at Disney World 16 years ago and went from Magic Kingdom to Animal Kingdom.
We are staying off resort and are leaving our car at MK. What will be the best ways to get from park to park? Is it the monorail or the bus or whatever other form or transportation they have? Our plan is to go from MK>Epcot>HS>AK, if time permits.
Thanks! Long story short I use to have bright RED hair like Ariel and all the kids at Disney thought I was her...so I would say I am Mermaid Nina her bestie. Thanks for joining!
Thank you for the video answered most of my questions! Sorry for the silly question but if I have “ultimate tickets” does it mean they already include park hoping or do I need to upgrade? Can’t seem to find on the tickets ‘park hopping’ mention? Thank you again 😊
Thank you! This is super helpful. We are going in July! I have never been to Disney World. What parks do you recommend to hop to if we want to do 2 days and all 4 of the parks? We live in Cali and go to Disneyland twice a year.
Hey, I actually don't suggest that at all, all the hopping might prevent you from doing all the things you love. Disney World is NOT like Disneyland...hopping isn't as easy as going across the street. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Great video, when we went to Disney world in 2019 we just woke up and went to which ever park we felt like that day, and when the mood changed we would just stroll over to another park, it’s such a shame that we can’t do that anymore, do you know if this will always be the case or is this likely to change back to how it used to be at some point?
I remember those days too. It has been announced that this is the NEW way...so I don't expect this to change, at least not for a LONG time. Thanks for watching/commenting!
👋 good morning Nina. We are from Canada and it will our first time to visit Disneyland Anaheim. I’m just wondering if it is better just to focus on one park for a day and do the other one the next.
Nice video. I made a park reservation for next Thursday at Animal Kingdom. Can I make another reservation for a prior day at a different park, or do I have to "use up" the reservation I already made first. I got the impression that I can reserve up to three days, unless that's 3 virtual ques for rides.
You can make park reservations if you have that many park tickets or are an AP - each AP has different rules, so you would have to look that up. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Thank you for this video! I still have a question (this will be my first time going to Disney). If I choose Magic Kingdom as my second park option, can I leave the park and then come back to watch the fireworks at night?
Can you leave the first park (reservation) before 2:00pm to get to the next park at exactly 2:00pm? Or do I have to stay in the first park until 2:00pm?
Its all based on what type of transportation you are using...but yes...you can leave whenever you want and enter #2 park at about 2pm. Thanks for watching/commenting!
How late in the day can you make a park reservation? if you got up late, planned to just have a pool day, but then decided later on that you actually did want to go to a park, would that still work? thanks.
I am trying to find info on how often the p to p buses run. I suppose they are more frequent sometime before and after 2 than compared with say 7 pm. I am thinking of hopping from AK around 7 and going to HS for the last hour. Might be better taking a Epcot resort bus then go to HS? Seems like p to p buses might not run that often at times, but not sure. I know pre 2020 we would leave the parks from around noon or 1 and would have to wait an hour for a bus because not many needed a bus then. Wondering if it is the same now for my scenario above.
The buses "should" run constantly. But yes, sometimes a bus shows right up and sometimes I am waiting FOREVER. Buses do take breaks, switch drivers, traffic, etc...so really...there is NO guarantee in a Bus. If worried, I'd Uber. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I got a ticket for a gift and it’s at will call, how would I make a reservation? It’s not letting me connect my ticket saying they can’t do it for will call.
GREAT VIDEO!!!! Nina, if I drive to my first park, lets say animal kingdom, pay for parking.. can I exit, get the car and hop to Magic and park again there? Because in the video you took the bus.. but i dont want to leave the car in the first park..
Good morning! I have a question after watching your park hopping video on UA-cam. If you DRIVE to the park (AK), would you suggest hopping to Epcot by driving over there (not an AP holder yet), or taking a bus to AKL and then to Epcot, and then back again at the end of the day? If that confusing enough? 😬🤣❤️
There are several and I have resort tours on many of them - so check them out. But a Moderate or Animal Kingdom Lodge is usually a mid-range. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Hi im planning to park hop to magic kingdom for New Year’s Eve since currently there’s no available park reservation, so my current reservation is at Hollywood Studios, so should I do park hop and wait infront of the gate park way before 2 pm?like 12 pm for example, or is it that New Year’s eve is not as crazy as 4th of july or the 50th anniversary ? Thank you
Not sure. Hopping could even be NOT allowed on that day if that crowded. I would plan on 2 but pay attention to the app as well. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I would assume unlimited if you have the Hopper Pass and wait until hopping time. With only 2 parks, I don't think its an issue. Thanks for watching/commenting!
if I make a reservationat magic, I go to another park and then I want to go back to magic for the show, and it appears that magic now has full capacity but.. as my reservation was there: can I get back in?
@@MermaidNinaTravels Thank you Nina. I have multiple days/4 parks ticket with hopper option. I didn’t make Epcot as first park on any of the day , I should still visit Epcot using Hopper option , is that correct?
Well you would have to start at MK for the lunch reservation, then make sure to hop back for dinner. Epcot would be the easiest hop. Thanks for watching/commenting!
We want to start at HS to try for Rise then hop to Epcot after 2 pm to eat a late lunch then go to MK for fireworks. Can we hop more than 3 parks? This would be in January
You can hope to 3 parks in ONE day per availability. But Rise is NO longer a Boarding Group ride...its currently a stand in line ride. Thanks for watching/commenting!
ANYONE CONSIDERING PARK HOPPER, KNOW THIS!!! If you have multiple single day tickets and you want to upgrade to park hopper in the middle of the visit DISNEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR THE UPGRADE EVEN FOR THE DAYS YOU ALREADY HAVE BEHIND YOU that you didn't use park hopper. !!! Yes it is a jip but you need to know this! Moral of the story is to buy and use park hopper from day one OR don't upgrade in the middle of your stay. BTW we were annual pass holders and park hopped for free and still didn't do it very much.

I'm not sure if the value is there for hopping. How long does it usually take to get from Exit gate to entrance gate of the new park?
Always plan for an hour of travel time

👋 good morning Nina. We are from Canada and it will our first time to visit Disneyland Anaheim. I’m just wondering if it is better just to focus on one park for a day and do the other one the next.
For Disneyland, I like to HOP...as it gives you time to explore another park when ONE gets busy. Thanks for watching/commenting!
thanks for the information. ¿Is there a new park hopping update?
Not that I know of. Thanks for watching/commenting!

I'm going on a trip with my friends this summer and I would like to know how I would be able to park hop in terms of transportation
I talk about it in the video...they will provide buses around the 2pm time or you can drive. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Hi! I have a quick question, can I purchase hopper at the park to add to an existing park ticket that had no hopper option originally?
Yes, you can upgrade NOW or then. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Thank you for this video! I still have a question (this will be my first time going to Disney). If I choose Magic Kingdom as my second park option, can I leave the park and then come back to watch the fireworks at night?
Nothing is guaranteed for the second park, only the park you made reservations at. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Thanks
Welcome! Thanks for watching/commenting!
Great ty How do you hop back to your car from magic kingdom? Same process? Does the bus run all night?
Same process, how ever you came is how you leave. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Hi a quick question. If you take that bus from Epcot to MK did you then have to take a monorail or boat to get to the entry point? Thanks. Nick
Not sure I entirely understand but if you bus to MK, they drop you off at the front of MK...no other transport needed. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Can you leave the first park (reservation) before 2:00pm to get to the next park at exactly 2:00pm? Or do I have to stay in the first park until 2:00pm?

How’s hopper tickets you gets for adults
Can I add the hooper option to tickets I already purchased and reserved online at Disneyland?
I am pretty sure you can, yes. Thanks for watching/commenting!
How late in the day can you make a park reservation? if you got up late, planned to just have a pool day, but then decided later on that you actually did want to go to a park, would that still work? thanks.
All depends if the park is sold out for the day. Some days, the parks are gone days before. Thanks for watching/commenting!

How do u make reservations for parks I bought general admission with park hooping but confused on how to make red for my first park?
On the App. You have to make Park Reservations AFTER you purchase Tickets. Thanks for watching/commenting!
So if i can’t hop do i get a credit for the Duffy in price of the ticket fir the day?
The Duffy? If asking if you get your funds back if you can't hop - NOPE. Thanks for watching/commenting!
I got a ticket for a gift and it’s at will call, how would I make a reservation? It’s not letting me connect my ticket saying they can’t do it for will call.
I would call Disney. I know I can enter my Will Call number into the system, but if having issues, call Disney. Thanks for watching/commenting!
Do you know how much it is to add a park hopper to a base ticket at the gate?
Should be the SAME price as if you were to add online. Thanks for watching/commenting!
