Benefits of a Walt Disney World Park Hopper Ticket


Benefits of a Walt Disney World Park Hopper Ticket

When guests visit Walt Disney World Resort they typically want to do as much as possible during their stay. The best way to accomplish that is with a Park Hopper Ticket option. The Park Hopper option allows you to visit more than one park per day or even all the Walt Disney World Theme Parks in one day



Making the most out of a day: 
Imagine having breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom followed by a few of your must-do rides. Then it's off to Epcot to enjoy a variety of foods from around the world, yummy drinks included. Once you've had your fill, take a ferryboat over to Disney's Hollywood Studios and enjoy the thrilling Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror before dinner at Disney's Animal Kingdom. After dinner, experience Kilimanjaro Safaris after sundown and end the day with the memorizing Rivers of Light Nighttime Experience. 
 
Extra Magic Hours: When staying on Disney property, you can enjoy Extra Magic Hours at select theme parks. Having a Park Hopper Ticket allows you to enjoy the extra time at the parks either in the morning before regular operating hours or at night after regular hours. For example, enjoy Extra Magic Hours from 7:00am-8:00am at Magic Kingdom then at night you can also enjoy Extra Magic hours at Disney's Animal Kingdom from 9:00pm-11:00pm on the same day. This is all possible with a Park Hopper Ticket option. (Extra Magic Hours change daily) 

Dining:The Park Hopper Ticket option allows you to dine wherever and whenever you want. Having the ability to go back and forth between parks is a great advantage when making dining reservations, especially for the more popular, hard to get restaurants.  

Flexibility:
You will have the ability to customize your days and be able to change them on a whim. It's best to have your days planned out beforehand but having the option to switch it up will allow you to have a better experience and less missed opportunities. Unexpected crowds, weather, larger parties, or even a change of mind can alter your day.

What you need to know about renting a stroller in Disney World

What You Need to Know About Renting a Stroller in Disney World


Traveling with a stroller can be a headache. Trying to fit it in your car with all your luggage or getting through airport security with one can become a nightmare. Luckily, Disney offers options for people who would rather rent a stroller once they have arrived at Disney World. Wether you need a single, double, or even a special needs stroller, Disney and their Featured Stroller Providers have you covered!

Renting a stroller at a Disney Park:

Disney offers single or double strollers with rent by the day or Length of Stay options. 
Single- $15 per day
        or $13 per day with prepaid Length of Stay

Double- $31 per day
          or $27 per day with prepaid Length of Stay

If saving money by pre-paying for the number of days with Length of Stay Rental, all you need to do is present your receipt upon returning to a theme park to receive your stroller.

Park hoping? Not a problem! Save your receipt and show them at the next theme park to be given another stroller. It's actually a good idea to keep your receipt for the entire duration of your stay. If you misplace your stroller, you are entitled to a replacement as long as you have your receipt. 

Prefer a more traditional style stroller? Disney works with three other companies as their Featured Stroller Providers. A great benefit about these companies is they deliver a stroller right to your resort so it's waiting for you when you arrive- FREE of charge!

Double City Mini- starting at $40 for first day then $7.50 per day for
                               additional days
                              -upgraded strollers available for additional costs
                                                                             -$25 optional damage/theft insurance
                                                                             -free rain cover add on

When renting from the above companies, simply return the stroller to the resort's bell desk services before the scheduled drop off time. You do not need to be present in order for the stroller to be picked up. You will have to agree to the company's terms and conditions upon renting a stroller. 


Stroller Tips:

-When in the parks, make sure to park your stroller at the designated stroller parking areas. These areas are set up for the safety and convenience of the guests. 

-Don't be alarmed if your stroller has been moved. Disney Team Members will move your stroller in order to accommodate more strollers in that area. Your stroller will still be in the same stroller parking area, just moved to a different spot.

-Know your stroller. Tie a ribbon around the handle or add another type of flare to it in order to recognize yours out of the sea of strollers. Even with the "license plate" with your name on it, you will be surprised how many of the same strollers there are. 

-Don't leave valuable belongings in the stroller. No one is there to watch your stroller if you all go on a ride. Don't leave your camera or bags of memorabilia you just bought in your stroller. All Disney bags look the same. 

- Cover your stroller. Since it is known to rain periodically throughout the day make sure to cover your stroller while it's parked. Make sure to add the complimentary rain cover if you're renting from one of the above companies. No child wants soggy shorts when they go to sit in the stroller. 

-Be prepared to fold it up. When traveling on the Disney Buses, you are required to collapse all strollers before entering the bus. It also must stay collapsed during the entire duration of the ride. Make sure to practice folding and opening the stroller to become comfortable with it.
