Disney World Bringing Back Park Hoppers Is Bigger Than You Think

There's a newsy morsel out of the world's most-visited theme park resort today that hopefully doesn't get lost beyond the most passionate Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) fans. Disney World in Florida will start selling park-hopper tickets in January, giving visitors (including its annual-pass holders) the ability to visit more than one park on any single day.

The return of the park hopper on Jan. 1 is a pretty big deal. Guests will still need to make initial reservations for the first park that they will visit, and while Disney recently bumped its capacity from 25% to 35%, this is still a challenge for pass holders for periods of peak demand. But now everyone with a park pass reservation will be able to visit a different gated attraction after 2 p.m. on the same day. This is big news for Disney World enthusiasts, but it could be even bigger news for shareholders, as well as the local meandering tourist economy.
