Question about use of Park Hopper

[cps5]

This is a stupid question from a first timer.

If I am staying offsite but want to go to Chef Mickeys the first night and go to the fireworks, does that mean that I am using a day on my park hopper pass?

I do not know if I am actually entering the park!!

Please advise. Thank you!

Chef Mickey's will not require you to use your ticket because it is in a hotel. If you want to watch the fireworks from outside the park somewhere you will not be required to use your ticket. If you want to go into MK to see the fireworks and actually enter through the MK turnstiles then your park ticket will be needed and it will take an entire day from your ticket (even though you are only going in for a short period of time).

Thank you Liberty Bell.

Now I can plan to go to Chef's Mickeys on my day of arrival. I will check out the fireworks from outside the park. Should I assume that this will be an easy thing to do?
