Hi, Jayne! You'll be excited to know that Walt Disney World has an awesome ticket re-entry and parking policy.
Here's the scoop! You can leave and come back to
EPCOT on the same day as many times as you like with a single-day ticket. You'll just tap your MagicBand each time to enter. You don’t need a hand stamp or anything like that. There's also no specific time that you are required to return. On some of my trips, I've entered EPCOT just in time for
Luminous The Symphony of Us, which was just before the park closed.
As for
parking, once you’ve paid for the day, you can leave and come back without paying again. Just hold on to that receipt or have your
MagicBand ready if you're staying on property. Resort guests get free parking at the theme parks anyway, so that’s a nice perk if you’re staying on property at Disney.
So if you want to take a midday break, head to the hotel, grab a bite to eat outside of the park, or just regroup, you’ll have no problem coming back later in the evening to catch the fireworks or finish up your must-see attractions.
Let me know if you want tips on how to make the most of your EPCOT day!
Toodles,
Korliss
