It might be a glitch in the system itself (not just the app). If you read Jackie's note in the article, it says that same message appears at the bottom of each day in April, May, and June (where park hours are listed)-seems more likely to be a glitch if it's showing up that way . . .
There seems to be a glitch somewhere. But whether it means park hopping is suspended to MK today or not isn't clear. The glitch may simply be that the notice shows up on the other dates.
Unless Magic Kingdom was the park you had a park pass reservation for, you would not be allowed in.
Yes I understand on its face, that’s what the message states. However, that doesn’t necessarily seem be the correct answer or at least not the entire answer that is needed here.
The only other time a park has been closed to hopping in recent years was the day of the 50th anniversary at Magic Kingdom, and that was only closed to hopping for a couple of hours in the afternoon. So there haven't been a ton of similar situations to compare this to.
But I believe park reservations are no longer required for anyone with a date-based ticket, right? So this part of the info is outdated.
True. It should probably say "valid theme park admission and park reservation if required based on ticket type."
They probably haven't changed the wording since they changed the park reservation requirement.
I would recommend they go to the park and try to enter.
I don't disagree, and if I were there I'd be doing the same thing. I guess it's just confusing how WDW has it set up. When you make an ADR, it states you have to have valid park admission and a park reservation (which yes, I know is outdated language now). But if they're warning you that you need to have admission and a reservation, I don't see how an ADR can qualify as a valid reservation. I know it's not up to me and maybe I'm overthinking it; that just doesn't make sense to me.
I would like to also hear the experiences of those who had entered MK before park hopping was restricted and tried to re-enter the park later after having left it, either to visit another park or just to take a break. Also, those who had not entered any park as of 1:00 and had dated tickets and no park reservations. If fact, I think anyone who was there today and tried to enter MK after 1:00 or so may have a story to tell. Please let us know how it went. Please explain what type of ticket you had, whether and where you had a park reservation, and what happened to you when you tried to enter MK.
Hmmm. Wonder if a refund is issued.
This is one of the many questions we have. Were guests with ADRs and LL reservations being permitted to enter the MK?
Has anyone reported being denied admission for any reason? Read a lot of the thread but admittedly haven’t every post so apologize if it’s already been mentioned
The only true report we've had so far from a guest in the parks was one who has an AP and had a park reservation for MK and they were permitted to enter the park after the hopping was stopped. They had been in the MK earlier, gone back to the resort for a rest and then went back to MK after 1PM and were able to re-enter without any problems at all.
