11+ Day Tickets?

[PadmeNaberie]

Hi y'all, quick question. Right now I have a package that includes 10-day park hoppers, but I am going to be there longer than that. I called guest services to ask about how to go about adding a day or two, and was told there is no way?? Is that true?

Am I able to add a day once I am there?

Thanks!

Yes, it's true.
No, you can't add days to a maximum (10) day ticket.
You can upgrade to an Annual Pass onsite.

Since you're going to be there more than 10 days, why not take a day off from the parks? You could go to DS, hang out at your resort, or you could add the water park option to your tickets, which only costs about $25 per ticket since you already have park hoppers.

There are some 14 and 21 days tickets available to people who live in the UK (and maybe other parts of Europe), but 10 is the most you can buy in the states. As previously mentioned, you'll either want an Annual Pass or add the Water Park option. Since you already have park hoppers, the water park option should be less than $30.

Agree with the PP's. Your best bet is to get an AP (make sure it's one that doesn't have your dates as blackout dates) or adding the water parks fun and more option. With a 10-day ticket, the water parks option will offer you an additional 10 visits to the water parks, mini-golf for very little cost - it's actually a very good deal! If you have no interest in the water parks, the AP is probably the way to go (the AP will offer you some dining and merchandise discounts as well).

Actually, it's a pretty big jump in price from the 10 day ticket to an annual pass, and it sounds like the OP only wants one or two extra days. A 10 day park hopper is $429, while an AP is $749. It would actually be cheaper to buy a separate one or two day ticket.

Someone previously mentioned this but I second it.....to the (Og. poster)I'm guessing that you're going for 12 or so days......With that many days, I'd recommend a day or 2 to break it up.....Maybe a resort day or 2, & / or a Disney Springs day as well.... If someone was going for 5- 7 days, then it'd be a different answer, but you don't want to burn yourself out..... And yes you can add the h2o park feature too... For a small fee....

 

[HopperFan]

All told you no already but I've gone for 12 days a few times. Really .... take a break.
- Disney Springs has so much to offer now for just roaming, shopping or dining.
- Check Groupon for the Character Balloon down there.
- Look for an Cirque discount tickets.
- Do some resort exploring!
- Water parks are fun for a day

And if you have a car there is SO MUCH to do outside of Disney. Last May was a long trip and we spent one day at Orlando Eye, Madame Tussauds, Sea Life, Skeletons and great lunch out.

Some of us have no desire to take a break while on vacation. I followed that advice the first time we went to disney. We hated it.

By early evening we were ready to head into a park, but didn't want to "waste a day" on our passes. Never again. Now I make sure we always have passes for each day we are there. Even if we spend the day at the pool, water park or downtown disney, we are able to hit a major park for fireworks, parade and/or a few rides.

Back in 2004 we purchased a 30 day fun in the sun pass for $300 each. Those passes were marketed to UK visitors. I ordered them online from a broker in Orlando and had no problem having them mailed to NY.

LoL, & this is why WDW loves you & everyone like you......This was the main reason with lowering the prices when adding days to a ticket...True those last few days are peanuts to add on, but the revenue it brings in once your there, is what they count on...Brilliant, just brilliant...

B.T.W. I'm a gung ho Disney fanatic as well, but I love the resort days/ breaks a lot.. They're great to recharge the batteries/body's.. Especially now staying at the Villas...aka (AKV)

We typically spend 12 days at Disney World, and believe me when I say, you will NOT regret planning 2 days during your trip without a park visit. Sleeping in late, then spending a leisurely afternoon at Disney Springs, and returning to the resort directly after supper to get to bed early does WONDERS for your energy levels the next couple of days, not to mention your disposition!

We had 13 days of touring during our last trip - not including the traveling days on either side. We had 7 day water park and more tickets. Since we did it through a group, we couldn't add on extra days. It was cheapest to go to the Halloween Party than to buy one day tickets - so that's another option if you're going during the Halloween or Christmas party times and want just one more day. That got us up to 8 days in the parks. (We also did Legoland one day - so 9 days theme park day). We went to waterparks 3 days and Disney Quest another. Add in Disney Springs a couple times during those days and we had plenty to do. We didn't need an off-day but we did like having a mix of things to do.

This isn't a very helpful post. Yes, 14 & 21 day tickets exist to European visitors. But, (1) she already has a package so that isn't an option (2) WDW reserves the right to only sell those to those who are actually from Europe.

We always have non-park days on our vacations (which usually only last 8 days), and even if you aren't an RNR vacationer, there is plenty to do in Orlando. Heck, there is plenty to do just on WDW property from swimming, boat rental, mini-golf, shopping, horse riding, eating... But if you absolutely must be in a Disney park on your trip my suggestion is to get the water parks addition. You can spread out the park days and water park days so that you can use water park admissions on days you don't go to the regular parks.

This isn't a very helpful post.

Actually, the first two paragraphs are helpful. At the end the poster gives their specific experience. If you don't find that useful, that's great, but don't discount the experience of someone who doesn't like breaks. Which was immediately followed by a poster who says the OP won't regret a break. Shows how different we all are.

(I will plan breaks, but I'm anxious all day because I want to be at the parks...it does good things for DH and DS, but they've let me know that I can go play in a park if I want to)

 

[Disneylover99]

This isn't a very helpful post.

How was that post any more or less helpful then others suggesting she should just take a break when the op wanted to know if she could add a day once she's there?

 

[Disney Khaleesi]

If you are going for 10+ days, I would look into taking one or two days off. You could sleep in, hit up a resort for lunch or dinner, maybe try mini-golfing on property, resort hop, or spend some time at Disney Springs? We took an 8-day vacation last time without any rest days and we were beat by the end of the trip. I can't imagine doing 10 park days without some sort of day to just swim or do something else that's low-key. Especially since you'll have park hoppers, it sounds like you'll be doing a lot of transportation back and forth between parks and that sounds pretty tiring.

But as previous posters have stated, you aren't able to purchase more than 10 day tickets if you're a visitor from the U.S, even once you're on property.

 

[mummabear]

We usually go for 2-3 weeks.
We can't get the Lo get tickets here in NZ and it isn't worth upgrading to the AP for us.
What is your group like? We do t really do rest days as such (like just hang by the pool for hours at the resort) but do like the water parks , and mini putt, we like to use those nights to gp to chip and dales campfire/ watch wishes from FW or the Poly.

I would warn you about getting a grab one voucher for Characters in Flight- I would really like to do it, we have tried multiple times every trip and it has always been closed due to weather.

She explained why:

Disneyjunkie expressed his/her opinion and relayed his/her experience. How is that any different then what others did? Honestly? Saying, "this isn't a helpful post" just strikes me as quite a rude and condescending thing to say.

He explained what he did to get more than 10 park days, which amylevan pointed out that the OP couldn't do. Offering a suggestion that the OP couldn't do isn't very helpful, IMO. Other posters offered suggestions about what the OP could do - upgrade to the AP, add the water park option or do things outside the parks.

And some people said, you should take a day off. You will enjoy that more, even though the OP specifically asked, about how to go about adding days. Was that helpful? I don't know. Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn't. The point is, I think all advice is helpful. Disneyjunkie wasn't telling the OP what to do. Just explaining what she did.
