Park Hopping just got EASIER in Disneyland. Yes, we are just as excited as you are.
In Disneyland, Park Hopping lets you jump back and forth between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, but to do this, you need a Park Hopper ticket or a Magic Key pass, their version of Annual Passes. There used to be an 11 AM time limit: you couldn’t hop between parks until after 11 AM, but good news—that’s all changing.
There is no longer an 11 AM waiting period to Park Hop, starting on June 9th. Yes!
Now, it’s important to note that you might still need to make a park pass reservation, depending on which type of ticket you have. Magic Key Holders, this includes you! You’ll need to choose your park pass reservation for the first park that you are starting in and scanning into first.
This new rule change allows for so much more flexibility. Being able to hop back and forth in the morning is amazing. You can scan into Disneyland, rope drop one ride, and then head to Disney California Adventure for your next one.
One thing we love about the change is that if reservations are full at one park, you can grab a spot at the other and head there immediately. Easy peasy!
