    If I buy a one day pass is it a 24 hour period if I start at noon on Tuesday does it end at noon on Wednesday?

    Hiya, pal!

    Welcome to planDisney!  Thanks for stopping by as you plan a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth during the most magical time of the year!

    With so much to do in each of the four theme parks, it's easy to understand wanting to make the most of your ticket.  When you purchase a one-day ticket, you'll select the date that you plan to use it, and it will be valid from park opening to park closing on that date.  If you're purchasing a base ticket, you'll also choose which park you'll be visiting.  To visit more than one park in a single day, you'll want to make sure that you add the Park Hopper Option to your ticket.

    I recently visited all four theme parks in one day with my teenage son and had the best time enjoying some of our favorite attractions!  We chose to begin at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park because it opened the earliest - giving us a jump start on our busy day!  We also purchased Lightning Lane Multi Passes for Animal Kingdom and modified our attraction selections to other parks after redeeming our first Lightning Lane early in the morning.  From Animal Kingdom, we headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios, then EPCOT, and ended the night at Magic Kingdom Park

    As you're planning your December visit, don't forget to confirm theme park hours.  Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom both offer special-ticketed events several nights each week throughout the holiday season.  While the Hours & Events Calendar won't update until about 60 days before your visit, you can check the nights that Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney's Jollywood Nights are offered now and plan for those parks to close earlier than normal on party nights.      

    I hope this information has been helpful as you continue planning your visit.  If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!

    Cheers!
