You can hop to any park after 2pm as long as you've tapped into the first park you had a reservation for. It doesn't matter if there are no reservations left, that doesn't affect hopping.
Kinda curious about the other peoples experiences. Did they get turned away due to not tapping into their park reservation park first? this is a completely different issue than hopping being closed off to guestsI was just sharing what both the official disney website said and what I've read of other people's experiences
Obviously the poster is absolutely entitled to head over to MK or any other park they fancy after 2pm but it was just a heads up that they may be turned away
I cant read,... (100% thought u said correct). Cant delete this >.<That is incorrect
honestly, i do not believe they were turned away due to capacityIt still says on the Disney World website "Please note that the ability to visit another park will be subject to the park’s capacity limitations" (https://www.disneyworld.co.uk/guest-services/park-hopper/).
I've seen many posts on several disney groups I'm on where they have been turned away due to the park being at full capacity.
I have no idea if I'm honest but I've only seen it within the past 4 or so months so didn't actually know if it was down to more visitors now coming to the parks (I understand international borders opened last Nov but genuinely didn't know what other reason it could be).Kinda curious about the other peoples experiences.

Exactly. Everyone wants to tie the two togetherHaving no reservations available is not the same as the park being at capacity.
I was there on both nye, and christmasI have hopped many times on sold out days and never turned away. It is of course possible, but in my experience you’ll get an alert, I was there on the 50th and it alerted me park hopping wasn’t available. I was already in MK so not an issue.
The chance of being turned away on a non holiday day is slim. Even if the park is at capacity for reservations that means every single person who reserved is in the park at that moment, plus any extra space they saved for hoppers. But it is of course possible and May happen this year on Christmas Day or New Years.
Saying all that you WILL be turned away if you reserved Epcot and never scan into Epcot and show up at MK at 2.
For sure gets confusing. I know since this year and the opening of international travel, day of park reservations are very limited if at all available. So many people either didn't book and tried to walk up and was turned away, or booked a different park and thought they could hop right to a different park at 2pm. I have seen a lot of this in the forums and social media. But like others have said as long as you tap in and than hop after 2 everything should be fine.I have no idea if I'm honest but I've only seen it within the past 4 or so months so didn't actually know if it was down to more visitors now coming to the parks (I understand international borders opened last Nov but genuinely didn't know what other reason it could be).
Fair enough if they can get in, that's great
Totally, I was more saying for this coming year those are the only 2 days I would watch for it. Historically they were the only a days that ever had capacity closures pre covid.I was there on both nye, and christmas
no issues with capacity and hopping either day
it wasn’t very crowded at all
A whole lot of guests do not realize they must tap in to their first park in order to hopI have no idea if I'm honest but I've only seen it within the past 4 or so months so didn't actually know if it was down to more visitors now coming to the parks (I understand international borders opened last Nov but genuinely didn't know what other reason it could be).

I went to WDW on a random Friday in May and had no problem getting any park reservation same-day (I literally didn't decide to go until after midnight - and then changed my plans a handful of times on the way to the airport, and to WDW from MCO).I know since this year and the opening of international travel, day of park reservations are very limited if at all available.

The only park you are guaranteed to access from park open to close is the park you have a reservation for.If our first park is AK and we check in (we have PH ) we can then PH to MK after 2pm. Once we check in at MK can we leave and still get back in later even if it is full to capacity after we leave.
If you have a park hopper ticket, you can hop to the MK after 2 PM. You don't have to wait until 4 PM.question about park hopping and Halloween party... I will be starting my day at Hollywood Studios, so have a reservation there. Have a Halloween party ticket for MK for that night. Everything says that entry for the party starts at 4pm. Can I park hop to be in MK prior to 4pm? I don't see why not as I could just be hopping and going to leave MK at 6 when the park closes for the party but just need clarification. Hope this makes sense!
Oh ok, I was going on the "since international travel opened" and since the beginning of the year reference.Once summer vaca hit things got tight
