Park hopper hours during spring break

[magsnwonderland]

I was looking at the calendar and noticed that starting March 26, the park hopper hours are listed as starting at 1pm again instead of 11. Are they just behind on updating it or would they change hopping time during the heaviest week of spring break? That “hopper hours are subject to change” language makes me nervous.

We have lamplight lounge brunch reservations on a starting in DL day, so if the hopper time is 1pm, I’ll have to switch reservations to CA sooner rather than later.

Good catch on this one! I checked the calendar and I see what you are referring to. This is a total bummer if this is the case! I read their notice about it and they do indicate it can change. I assumed it was an all across the board change to 11am instead of 1pm. This can really mess up reservations! We go in April so I will keep an eye on this. I don't think I would have even noticed this, so thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Once again, another frustrating aspect of Disney's late notice on their hours and schedules. If this is the case that hopping is at 1pm, I hope you are able to change your reservation so it all works out for you!

Ugh, seriously? I didn't ever notice that hopping hours were "subject to change." That stinks. I had it in my head that it's just gonna be 11am from now on. I've been making our park reservations without any thought to starting park since we usually arrive around 11.

How long does this look to be in effect over spring break?

I just checked the Disneyland website the hours section. The 1pm park hopper starts on Monday March 27 I bet it is through April 16. Easter is the 9th and Passover is that weekend too.

Thanks. Kids are on break the first week of April and we are planning to go that Wednesday. I'll be sure to book our starting park accordingly.

Yes. I thought the 11am was permanent!!!

I really hope it is just a glitch!

I hope it is a glitch too!! They made a big deal announcing the new park hopper time will be 11 and now they add time subject to change?! That is a bummer for folks who made dining reservations and may not be able to change them now. I miss the good old days when people who had park hoppers could hop at anytime!

It actually shows 1 PM starting on Sunday March 26th which is a very random day for it to start (I would assume Friday or Saturday or even a Monday but not a Sunday) so I am leaning toward this being a glitch. Crossing my fingers because I arrive that Wednesday and didn't pay attention to what park I was starting in for lunch reservations due to being able to hop at 11 AM.

When I checked earlier today there was nothing for Sunday! No Sunday exists! Ugh. Sounds like no glitch!

Fortunately, we're still far enough out that reservations are still available for both parks so we can switch, but we were planning to do EE in DL that morning since it’s our first full day, so it's a bit of a bummer.

Update: hopper hours have now been changed to 11am in the app for the last week of March

Maybe someone else can recall better than I can - but it seems Park Hopping was previously at 2pm and just changed to 11am (it was 11am when I was there Monday 2/13). If 2pm is what it "was" chances are that 1pm is not a typo, but the new time for that stretch. And yes, it looks like another variable we'll have to watch. Sometimes you wonder if Disney is just Trying to make things complicated lol.

I believe it was/is 2pm at WDW. Disneyland was 1pm. Now Disneyland is 11am.

And they’ve updated the listings for late March. All days now show 11am. So the 1pm was likely an error.

It takes a "Disney Village" to sort some of this out. Thanks!

I teach in Northern LA County. The majority of our schools are on break from March 20-25. The district I work for though has a two week spring break March 20th to April 1st.

Spring break varies wildly around the country and in CA. LAUSD is off the first week of April as is the district I grew up in.

 

[Minuet888]

Oh I know it varies throughout the state, country etc.
I don’t work in LAUSD so I wasn’t sure when their spring break is.
