Hi John!
It sounds like you're off to a great start planning your Walt Disney World vacation! Five days at the theme parks will give you lots of time for exploring.
The best option for tickets will be the
Standard Theme Park Admission tickets for 5 days. Since you don't plan on visiting multiple parks in a single day, you do not need to add the Park Hopper option. No worries though, if your touring plans change once you arrive at Walt Disney World, you can always add the Park Hopper option by visiting Guest Services.
I love your idea to visit the
Magic Kingdom twice. There are so many
attractions to experience, you can easily spend days touring the park. I never miss a chance to ride the classic Walt Disney World attractions like
Pirates of the Caribbean or
it's a small world. The thrill seekers in your family won't want to miss the trio of Mountains:
Space Mountain,
Splash Mountain, and, my favorite,
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Don't forget to check out the Magic Kingdom's
entertainment options, too. There are small, magical touches like
The Dapper Dans singing on Main Street, U.S.A. to over-the-top, breathtaking nighttime spectaculars like
Happily Ever After.
To keep you fueled during your Magic Kingdom days, there are dozens of delicious
dining options in the park. From quick, grab and go meals like waffle sandwiches at
Sleepy Hollow to leisurely table service options like dining in the Beast's castle at
Be Our Guest Restaurant, you'll be sure to find perfect meals for your family.
I hope you have a magical vacation! Be sure to let the Disney Parks Moms Panel know if we can help with any additional details of your trip!
