Welcome, Sandra! Thank you so much for your question.
With everything going on at
Walt Disney World, it only makes sense that you might need to take a break at some point during the day. Head back to your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel for a quick dip in the pool or a nap, or pop on over to
Disney Springs for a leisurely lunch and some shopping before tackling a theme park evening.
I am happy to let you know, Sandra, that you can absolutely leave the park and return to the same park later in the day. And, you can do it as often as you'd like. There have been times when my family has gotten up early to enjoy the
early theme park entry perk of being a Disney hotel guest, and then we'll leave to go to one of the resorts for a late breakfast. We'll go back to the park to do a few rides, then take grandbabies back for naps. One more time, we might head back to the park to enjoy dinner and one of the nighttime shows, like
Harmonious at
EPCOT.
If you want to leave one park and visit another later in the day, you can add the
park hopper option to your theme park tickets. That will let you visit one park in the morning, then after 2 PM, you can hop over to another park. You will only need to make a
theme park reservation for your first park of the day.
I hope that helps with your vacation planning, Sandra. We're here if you need us again later.
Anna
