These hours have been more or less consistent with what we’ve seen in previous weeks! Keep in mind that Park Hopping at each of the four theme parks begins at 2PM these days, given that you have the Park Hopper option added to your ticket and you’ve scanned into the park with which you have a Park Pass Reservation for that day.
