   Should You Splurge on Park Hopper Tickets?

   In this episode, you’ll hear a Disney travel agent’s take on whether or not you should splurge on park hopper tickets at both Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, and Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Begin Transcript Hello friends. You are a Disney Travel Insider, and I’m your host, Kathy Seifert. Thanks for pressing play. I’ll be sharing my take on park hopper tickets with you in today’s episode. This podcast is sponsored by Fairytale Vacation Planners, a Disney travel agency based in Wellington, Florida dedicated to making your vacation dreams come true whether you want to make magical memories at Walt Disney World or beyond. To get in touch, please send an email to kathy@ftvacationplanners.com (mailto:kathy@ftvacationplanners.com). To park hop, or not park hop. If you’re beginning to plan your Disney Parks vacations for 2024, you might be wondering whether or not you should splurge on park hopper tickets. While the concept of park hopping might sound like a fantastic idea in theory, there are important factors to consider before you incur the additional cost of the park hopper tickets. For a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, I typically advise my clients against park hopping. Why? Covering roughly thirty- thousand acres, or forty-three miles, Walt Disney World Resort is a large piece of property to navigate. Did you know that It’s estimated that you can fit about 51 Disneyland’s into Walt Disney World? When you factor in transport, whether you take complimentary Disney transport, or your own private transport, and any park entry queues, you might spend 60 – 90 minutes of precious memory-making time simply trying to transit between two of the four theme parks. This can really eat into your day, and when you’re visiting Walt Disney World Resort, the magic is in the way you maximize every minute of your time. At Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, however, I actually recommend splurging on the park hopper tickets because it’s actually doable. Encompassing roughly five-hundred acres combined, Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure are very easy to navigate when compared with the massive size of Walt Disney World. California Adventure is located directly across from Disneyland in what used to be the original Disneyland parking lot, a place I remember all to well as a child growing up thirty minutes from Anaheim. At a moderate pace, you can walk from the back of Disneyland to the back of California Adventure in about forty-five minutes. The admission gates for both parks are located just a stone’s throw away from each other. No additional transport is needed to get from one park to the other.
