    When I purchase a 1 day park hopper ticket, can I re enter a park after I have exited? Example: Going to Magic Kingdom in the morning, then going to Epcot at Lunch and returning to MK at night?

    Hey there, Rachell! Welcome to planDisney!  

    Park Hopping is one of my favorite ways to experience all the magic Walt Disney World Resort has to offer! I've even tackled all four theme parks in a single day with a Park Hopper ticket a few times. It was a whirlwind adventure packed with magic from rope drop to fireworks, but whew, it made for a long day!

    The good news is yes, you can absolutely start your morning at Magic Kingdom, head over to EPCOT for a lunch reservation, and then make your way back to Magic Kingdom to end the day with the nighttime spectaculars. Just keep in mind that park entry is always subject to capacity limits. If Magic Kingdom reaches capacity while you're away, you may not be able to re-enter that evening. Thankfully, that's typically only a concern during busy holiday periods and special events, but it's a helpful little detail to keep tucked in your park bag.

    When it comes to dining at EPCOT, you're in for a fabulous lineup of options! My family had an out of this world experience at Space 220 during our last visit, and Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria is home to my favorite glass of wine in all of Walt Disney World. From world-class cuisine to quick bites around World Showcase, there are plenty of delicious ways to make your lunch stop a happily-ever-after memory!

    If you're planning to head back to Magic Kingdom for the fireworks, you might want to consider booking a Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties: Seats & Sweets reservation. After spending the day hopping between parks, having a reserved viewing area and a few sweet treats waiting for you can feel like the sweetest treat of all!

    Rachell, I hope you have an unforgettable visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth and a blast hopping from park to park. May your day be filled with Disney magic, smooth travels, and a few sparkling fireworks moments along the way!
