Hi Tammy! Welcome to planDisney! I'm thrilled to have you here! It's so exciting that you'll be arriving just in time for the New Year's celebrations! I have no doubt you're going to have an amazing time filled with wonderful moments alongside your favorite people.
I absolutely love your question! My family often chooses to leave the parks right before lunch to take a little mid-day break at our
Disney Resorts Collection hotel. We enjoy lounging by the pool, grabbing a bite to eat, and waiting for the heat and humidity to calm down before heading back to the parks. So, yes, you can definitely leave and re-enter EPCOT (or any other Disney theme park) on the same day with your ticket.
Also, if you're driving, you can easily leave the
parking lot and come back without needing to pay again—just show your receipt from earlier in the day. Isn't that fantastic?
I hope this helps with your planning, Tammy! Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have more questions.
We're always here, excited and ready to help our wonderful friends like you!
Cheers,
Nilson
