Hi Laura!
Welcome to planDisney!
I’m happy to report that you’ll only need a
park reservation for the very first park you’ll be visiting each day. As soon as you scan into that park, you can hop to any other park (pending park capacity) as long as you have a valid
park hopper ticket linked to your account.
It looks like you’ll be spending the
holidays at Disney, so there are a couple of things to be aware of when it comes to park hopping around that time.
First up, the holiday parties! On select nights, Magic Kingdom hosts
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Hollywood Studios hosts
Jollywood Nights. On those days, the parks will close earlier than normal. So, make sure to
check the park hours before creating your itinerary.
Next, the
Festival of the Holidays at Epcot! If you happen to still be at Disney World on November 28, 2025, that’s when the festival will begin! You may want to plan to hop to Epcot one evening after the festival starts to see the Candlelight Processional. There are 3 showings each night (subject to change), and they tend to be a popular offering during the festival. So, plan to get there early if you’re hoping to see it this year.
I hope that helps! Have the best holiday season, and enjoy all the extra magic of being at the parks during this time of year! If you have any other questions, feel free to come back and visit us.
