    Can party of 8 leave and come back to magic kingdom park on Dec 24th at Disney world?

    Hiya Jaya,

    Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your theme park question! Oh boy—what a truly magical time to be visiting Disney World! You’re in for an unforgettable holiday adventure. Main Street in Magic Kingdom will be sparkling with garlands, twinkling lights, and the sweetest scent of gingerbread in the air. Even the Disney Resorts will be dressed in their festive finest, with breathtaking Christmas trees and holiday displays that make every corner feel like a scene straight out of a storybook.

    Now, let’s unwrap your question like a present under the tree!  With a same-day or Park Hopper ticket, you are welcome to leave a theme park and return later in the day. Just keep in mind that re-entry is subject to park capacity—so if the park reaches its limit, you may not be able to re-enter. From experience, Christmas Eve is one of the merriest (and busiest!) times of the year, so I recommend trying to stay in the park if possible to make sure you don’t miss a moment of the magic.

    While you’re visiting during the holidays, be sure to check out EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays—it’s a global celebration filled with festive storytellers, delicious holiday dishes, and one of my personal favorites, the Holiday Cookie Stroll!  And don’t miss the Christmas Tree Stroll over at Disney Springs, where each tree is decorated with a unique Disney theme—it’s a wonderful way to end a day of merry-making.

    Jaya, I hope this helps you plan a holly-jolly visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth. If you have any additional questions, feel free to visit us again. 

    See ya real soon,

    Christina
