Fl Res Summer Magic Tkt / Can I Hop to MK on 7/23 without a park ressie?

[Cinderelli]

We will be at Disney from 7/20 - 7/25, we plan to park hop 2 days. On 7/21 we plan to start at AK then hop to EP. On 7/23 we plan to start at HS and hop to MK. With the parade starting that week, will we have any trouble hopping to MK? We have the 2 Day Florida Resident Summer Magic Park Hopper. It is my understanding that we don't have to make a ressie at the park we plan to hop to but I wasn't clear about MK that week.

You need to make a Park reservation for the first park you plan to start your day in. You don't make a park reservation for the park you want to hop to using the Park Hopper feature.

Do you have your park reservations for AK and HS as those are the parks that you will need park reservations for unless you enter after your first park AK or HS after 2 PM.

For MK you will need to have already made a park reservation for that day, even if you plan to enter AK or HS after 2 PM, and no it does not need to be for MK. The only issue you may run into on 7/23 is if they reach capacity at MK and hold guests from entering MK.

ETA: corrected 2 PM reference. These tickets require a park reservation for the first park you plan to visit on a day.

Thank you, Dave. Yes we have our park ressies for AK (Mon) & HS (Wed). So we should be good to go to hop to MK then is what I'm assuming.

Then you are as ready as you can be for your visit.

I did go back and review the specific rules for your ticket type. Forget about the 2 PM option to not have a park reservation. Your tickets require a park reservation for the first park you enter, period.

Just be aware that the new night-time parade in MK starts earlier that week so late afternoon/evening crowds may build. It remains to be seen whether hopping or entrance to MK will be halted at any point due to capacity.

That was my thinking. Not much more I can do at this point other than looking at LLMP or LLSP.

This is a worry. Do you know how would we find out? Will it show on Mydisneyexperience?

Yes, when park hopping was restricted last year, there was a push notification on MDE as well as a phone number you could call. The thread discussing how things went that day can be found here: https://www.disboards.com/threads/park-hopping-suspended-today-4-4-24-at-magic-kingdom.3943553/
