Hey Kristin, and welcome to planDisney!
I love that you will have a short layover and are choosing to spend it at
Walt Disney World Resort! I could see myself doing the same if I were in that situation.
Unfortunately, there are no afternoon-only theme park ticket options, but no worries,
1-day theme park tickets are available. I don’t know how much time you will have to spend in the area, but if the 1-day theme park tickets won't fit into your budget, there are alternative ways to enjoy and pass the time at Walt Disney World. You could visit
Disney Springs, grab a bite to eat, and shop (one of my favorite activities). Another option would be to visit one of the resorts, like
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, and enjoy a meal at one of the restaurants and then go for a walk to enjoy
Disney’s Boardwalk.
We will be here if you have additional questions; just let us know how we can help.
Have a magical time (no matter how long)!
Raquel
