Bronwen,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
Absolutely yes, you can go back to your original park on a Park Hopper day! Just remember when you are making your first park hop that you do have to wait until 2 pm to do so, and that the park you are going to has to have available space. So, you can enjoy park #1 in the morning, visit park #2 in the afternoon, and then return to park #1 for an evening of dining, entertainment, and magic!
My family will often do this with parks like the Magic Kingdom, where we want to monorail over to EPCOT for an early dinner in the World Showcase, before returning for the fireworks show and some shopping on Main Street, U.S.A.!
PARK HOPPING BONUS TIP #1On days where you are at either
EPCOT or
Disney's Hollywood Studios, park hopping between the two using the Disney Skyliner is a snap! Like with the monorail connecting EPCOT and the
Magic Kingdom Park, the ride is not just convenient, but an attraction unto itself.
PARK HOPPING BONUS TIP #2Regardless of where you spend your days, consider using the park hopper option for evening visits to EPCOT for some of the great dining choices. Even just walking around the World Showcase pavilions and grabbing some small bites is a great way to both explore some new flavors and enjoy the park atmosphere.

Have a Magical Vacation!Doug
