Hi Linette,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel.
It's great to hear you're getting your planning started for a visit to Walt Disney World. It's also great that you are looking into the
Park Hopper Option for your theme park tickets. Personally, I love the Park Hopper Option as it offers so much flexibility to take in all there is to see and do and experience in the four theme parks.
When you purchase a multi-day theme park ticket, the ticket and all of the options for that ticket must be used with 14 days of the first use. In your example, if you have a 6-Day Ticket with the Park Hopper Plus Option, you could do as you're planning and enjoy a day outside the theme parks and return to the theme parks on day 7 of your stay. The key idea to use your tickets and their options within the 14-day window after their first use.
I always find there are so many fun things to do both inside the theme parks as well as outside the theme parks. If you're staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you can relax and enjoy the resort amenities and pool. I also think
Disney Springs is another must-do destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Linette, here's wishing you a wonderful and magical stay at Walt Disney World.
Enjoy your Disney!
Jerry
