Hello Michelle,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question. Based on your question, it seems like you have quite a long visit coming up. Lucky you! Not only will you get to join
The World's Most Magical Celebration, you'll also be able to enjoy the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival.
I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, but you won't be able to use two single park tickets on the same day. Adding the
Park Hopper Option to your tickets is the only way to be able to enjoy more than one park per day, and you will need to add it to the entire length of your ticket. If you truly only think you'll park hop on one day, perhaps you can adjust your plans to either eliminate the need for park hopping altogether. It sounds like you'll be able to spend at least two days in every park. Even during busy times, you'll likely get to experience a lot of attractions and shows, especially if you consider using the money you would save by not adding the Park Hopper Option towards purchasing
Genie+ on some days and purchasing Individual Lightning Lanes on other days. These add ons will help you save time by skipping the standby lines for some of the most popular attractions.
If you're really set on including the Park Hopper Option, maybe adjust your plans so you utilize it more. I know whenever I have it, I like to end several of my evenings in
EPCOT enjoying dining in restaurants around World Showcase, or taking some time to enjoy the
food and beverages at the Outdoor Kitchens that are part of the International Flower & Garden Festival. Bonus: Spaceship Earth is particularly stunning when it is
illuminated every evening, and the new nighttime show,
Harmonious is incredible. I could happily watch it every night!
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
