How did I miss this?!? Was this adding on once on site or prior? Freaking out a bit for late May trip.

Most of the reports of this were on page 2 in this thread. Sounds like it was mainly calling in advance of trips, but I'm not completely sure

Wow... the page I missed. I asked my TA to do it sometime this week, thinking no rush. I hope she’s able to..

ETA:TA had no trouble adding PH Sunday for my trip at end of May.

Hi all. I have an AK reservation on 5/4. Thinking of hopping to HS for a few hours then heading to Epcot. Being that it is May the 4th do you think it will be mobbed with Star Wars fans and should we avoid?
thanks!!!! And May the 4th be with you all!

funny story, my friend and I planned our trip to WDW so that we could drink in “Mexico” on Cinco de Mayo, and just happened to book DHS on the 4th afterward. Almost the moment we realized and were considering moving the reservation to the 6 to avoid the potential crowds, DHS sold out all week!

hopefully we’ll get out early enough to make space for you

If I have a reservation for HS, do I need to make a reservation for Epcot or can I just go there after 2?

 

[misonrisa]

It's my understanding you need to enter HS on the day of your reservation. After that you may park hop to any other park from 2pm on. Good luck!

piggy back park hop question: if you go to the park hop park and it is full can you go back to the park you have reservations for from the morning?

You can always return to your originally reserved park. To date park hopping has never been restricted, but there is a number you can call to confirm beforehand if you want.

I saw on the first page that there is a number to call if you want to learn wether or not a park is open for hopping......is this information available in the MDE ap as well?

If a park is closed to hopping there is supposed to be a push notification but we do not know this for sure as it has never happened even when all 4 parks were fully booked for park reservations.

If you would like to call the number in post 1 is accurate. I called it 10 days in a row to test things out when the parks were full for reservations in mid-March.

You not make a reservation to park(s) you hop to.

Hello!

1. ADRs. Does staying at a Disney Resort allow for earlier ADR or is it still 60 days out?
2. Park Hopper. After you Park Hopp at 2:00p to another park, are you allowed to go back into the original park you began your day, e.g. 8:00a Epcot -> 2:00p Hollywood Studios -> re-enter Epcot later that day?

Thanks!

1) 60 days regardless. The difference is that with a resort stay, you can book all days of your trip at the 60 day mark. Otherwise, it's 60 days out for each individual day of your trip.

2) yes. You can reenter the park with the park reservation whenever you'd like.

1. Still 60 days out. However, if you are staying at a Disney Resort, you can book your entire trip's worth of ADR's starting 60 days from when you check in.
2. Yes, you can go back into the original park with no problem.

Hi all,

Planning for a June trip when all days currently show "Some Parks Available." (Looks like EP may be the only one left though.)

I just wanted to confirm--have some guests *not* been allowed to add the park hopper option onsite after arrival due to crowds? We're on the fence, leaning toward adding.

I had been planning on just adding after arrival once we've experienced crowds, but I don't want to miss my chance due to capacity.

Thanks!

As indicated in the first post, to date all parks have been available for park hopping even when parks were at capacity for park reservations.

The park hopper option may be added after you arrive UNLESS the parks are at capacity for park reservations any of the dates of your trip.

If the parks are at capacity, the park hopper option will not be allowed to be added even though those who already have the ph option can hop.

Perfect--exactly what I needed to know. I'm thinking the safe bet is to go ahead and add beforehand then. Unless capacity increases, I can imagine we might encounter that very scenario.
