Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Restrictions Ending in June

Park hopping at the Disneyland Resort is about to get a lot easier! Starting June 9, 2026, the 11:00am park hopper restriction is going away allowing guests with a theme park reservation and a park hopper ticket to visit both parks without having to wait until 11:00am to “hop” from one park to another.

A Park Hopper ticket allows guests to visit more than one park per day at the Disneyland Resort. Current guidelines require guests to make a theme park reservation for the first theme park they plan to visit. After entering that first park, guests are able to visit the next park starting at 11:00am and go back and forth between the parks until each park’s regularly scheduled closure. But, starting June 9, the 11:00am restriction is going away. This will allow guests with a Park Hopper ticket to visit both theme parks after each park opens until each park’s regularly scheduled closure.

Disneyland Resort Park Hopper Restrictions Changing Soon

This change also applies to Magic Key Holders. As long as a Magic Key Holder has a park reservation for either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park, they can enter either park at any time during normal operating hours without having to wait until 11:00am to move from one park to another.

Are you excited for this change to take effect? It will definitely eliminate the large crowds in the Esplanade before 11:00am as well as the long lines to enter the parks at 11:00am. I’m curious exactly how the crowds will be in each park before 11:00am but time will tell!
