Greetings and welcome to planDisney, Megan!
Thank you for taking the time to send an excellent question our way. We are thrilled to assist fellow Guests in planning unforgettable adventures at the
Walt Disney World Resort!
I am happy to hear you plan to visit
Magic Kingdom Park during the most wonderful time of the year! Nothing is more special than
visiting Mickey during the holidays and joining in the festivities at all theme parks, Disney Springs, and Disney Resort hotels. Since you are visiting iconic Magic Kingdom Park on December 23, be sure to enjoy
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and
Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks. You can conveniently confirm show times via the My Disney Experience mobile app on the day of your visit. Please note entertainment is subject to change without notice.
If you have a
Theme Park Reservation for Magic Kingdom Park and tickets with
Park Hopper Option, you should have no issues returning to Magic Kingdom Park later in the day. Since you already have a reservation, you are guaranteed a spot in the park and should be allowed back in. I still recommend confirming with Cast Members at Magic Kingdom Park before visiting another park for the day. Still, my personal experience is that Guests with a reservation can return to the park they have a reservation for without any issues.
I hope this information is helpful, Megan. Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, and have a magical holiday visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Best Disney wishes,
Thiana
