There are a few reasons why you might need to LEAVE the Disney World parks in the middle of the day.

Maybe you’ve got a dining reservation at one of the resorts or Disney Springs that you can’t miss. Maybe you’ve got some little ones who need a nap at the hotel and some cool-down time at the pool. Or maybe, you’re not prepared to stick it out when bad weather starts rolling your way!
