    My husband and I are coming to Disney World on Dec. 3rd and will be leaving on Dec. 10th. We have a 5 day Hopper pass. If we decide to eat dinner at one of the restaurants in Epcot, would that count as one of our days on our hopper passes.

    Hi there Joann,

    How exciting to be visiting Walt Disney World Resort in December!  The answer to your question is yes. Valid theme park admission is required in order to dine inside the theme parks. If you are only entering Epcot to dine at one of the Table-Service restaurants and do not have time to fully experience the park, I would suggest dining at one of the Disney Resort hotels or Disney Springs instead. This would allow you to use your 5-Day Ticket with Park Hopper Option on days you have ample time to fully experience everything the parks have to offer.

    I hope this information has been helpful to you. If you have any additional questions or would like dining recommendations, please don't hesitate to reach out again. Best wishes for a magical and merry trip, Joann!

    Happy Planning,
    Jodie
