Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California is made up of two Disney Parks. Disneyland Park that features Sleeping Beauty castle and Disney California Adventure. Disney California Adventure park is where you will find Avenger's Campus, Pixar Pier, and Cars Land!

Currently, Guests that have Park Hopper tickets have to wait until 11 AM to Park Hop.

If after 11 AM you have not entered your reserved park, you may enter either park. This is subject to availability.

Disney has just announced that they will be eliminating the 11 AM Park Hopper rule later this year. When Disney makes this change, park goers will be able go between the two Disneyland Resort parks more freely.

More details about this Park Hopper change will be shared later this year.

No details have been shared about when this will take place or what this new Park Hopping rule will look like.

Reservations Are Here To Stay

Unfortunately, if Guests were hoping that Park Reservations would be leaving too, they will be very disappointed. Park Reservations are here to stay.

Disneyland President, Thomas Mazloum, knows that Guests want more flexibility, especially those who are visiting the parks often. Resort leaders have discussed ways to bring this back, but also balance demand levels. With that, Park Reservations will continue to be required.

  1. The park reservations NEED TO GO!!! Disney World made it almost 50 yrs without them...they shouldn't be necessary now. At some point, management needs to start listening to guests and start trying to make their visits more stress-free...

    1. Thanks for reading! I am ready for them to go too. I miss the days at Disney World when you could wait at the bus stop and take whatever bus comes first. I'm going to try and remain hopeful they will someday return...fingers crossed anyway
