Everything Park Hopping - Please Read Post 1

Can you tell me the most recent updates for park hopping with an AP?
We know we need park reservations for our first park each day.
We might book LLMP for first park each day.
Can we park hop after 10:00am or is it a later time (2:00pm) for AP?
Anything else we should know or be prepared for?
Thank you

You can park hop as soon as you have tapped into your first park. (Park to park buses start running at 10AM).

Park reservations for AP are not required for any park after 2PM except for MK on Saturday and Sunday.

Can park hop anytime after you scan in to your reserved park … on good to go days you don’t need a reservation

Except . . . now you cannot park hop to MK at all unless you have a park reservation for that day. The reservation doesn't have to be at MK (although it could be) but you cannot just go to MK after 2 pm if you don't have a park reservation for MK or you don't have a park reservation for any park and haven't been to that park first.

These new rules were developed because of the new nighttime parade.

This is not the case until July 20th, more than a month away. Right now, the park hopping rules are the same as they have been since Jan, 2024.

Things change July 20th

Ah! You are correct. I'm too focused on my own upcoming trip!
I will also say the wording is unclear about AP’s hopping to MK July 20th and later. The definition of ‘theme park reservation’ is what we don’t truly know about. Will an AP with a theme park reservation at another park be allowed to hop to the MK? I don’t feel enough details have be released to definitively say one way or the other.
