Howdy, Helen! Welcome to planDisney!
You're in for a treat!
Yes, re-entry to the same park is absolutely allowed with a
one-day Disney park ticket! Once you’ve scanned into your park for the day, you can come and go as you please during regular park hours.
That means if you want to start your morning with a few
rides, then head back to your
resort room for a midday nap or a swim, and finish up the evening with fireworks, you’re completely free to do so.
As long as you’re returning to the same park where your ticket is valid, there’s no problem at all.
The only time re-entry rules change is if you have a Park Hopper ticket or there is a special event happening during the evening or night hours.
With Park Hopper, you can move between different parks on the same day after the designated hopping time. If there is a special event in the evening of your visit, like
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, then you won't be allowed entry during the times of that event.
A lot of families actually plan their day this way. They enjoy rope-dropping early in the morning, taking a break when the crowds and heat peak, and then coming back refreshed in the evening. It makes for a much more relaxed Disney day without feeling like you’re missing out.
Have a magical time, Helen. If you need more planning tips, we're the ones to see! So stop back by anytime!
Toodles,
