Hi Melinda,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us another question!
I think a “rest day” at your Disney Resort Hotel is a wonderful idea. We often have pool days during our visits to Walt Disney World Resort as we find that it’s the perfect way to enjoy that we stay well rested throughout our stay. After all, you’re supposed to be on vacation!
When you purchase a 5-Day Theme Park Ticket, you’ll be able to use that ticket for admission to any Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park for up to 8 days after your first date of use. That means that, for example, if your
Theme Park Tickets start on August 21st, you’d have until August 28th to use all of your admission entitlements (or August 29th if you choose to purchase a ticket with the
Park Hopper Plus Option). You don’t have to use any of your admission entitlements on consecutive days, so feel free to plan a day (or two!) to relax and enjoy the benefits and amenities associated with your
Disney Resort Hotel.
I hope my answer helps you plan the perfect Disney Parks vacation for your family. As always, please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have any other questions!
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
