Hi Cate! Welcome to planDisney! Disney Theme Parks and
Disney Water Parks?! This is going to be the perfect Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
It is perfectly fine for a Guest with a theme park ticket and a water park ticket to visit both parks on the same day! For example, if you want to begin your “Disney Day” at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and then head over to Magic Kingdom Park later, that would be a great way to spend your day!
The
Park Hopper option would not apply (and is not necessary) to visit a theme park and a water park on the same day. The only time the Park Hopper ticket is needed is when a Guest visits more than one Disney Theme Park (i.e. Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park) in one day!
Cate, it sounds like you’ve got a great itinerary in the works! Come on back to planDisney if you have any more questions! We’re all EARS!
Happy Planning!
