12-day park hopper tickets

[ckquan]

Hello! I am getting ready to purchase park hopper tickets for my upcoming 12-day trip to the World. However the Disney site only offers tickets up to 10 days. Is there a way for me to buy 12-day tickets or will I need to buy separate tickets (10-day and 2-day) for each person? Thanks for any help or input!

Under the circumstances, you would be better off getting an Annual Pass! Just be aware...they MAKE you go to The World as often as possible.

They only sell tickets up to 10 days, so you're better off buying an AP.

A 10 Day Hopper is about $367 after tax.
A 2 Day Hopper is about about $238.
That's $605

A 6 Day Hopper is about $335
So two of those to make 12 days would be $670

An AP is about $553. So any way you split those 12 days in to two tickets will be more expensive than just purchasing an AP.

If you're going when there is MVMCP or MNSSHP, have you considered buying party tickets for 2 of your days?

I would buy an AP or just get a 10 day hopper and not go to the parks for 2 days- just chill at the hotel/DTD. Or add WPF&M for $50 some dollars and do a water parka and DQ.

In other words- in now way would I buy a 2 day hopper lol

I think I'd skip the hopper option and do the 10 day water park, fun & more option. On that long of a stay, you will have time to see each of the parks at least 2 days, and you'd also have the opportunity to visit Disney Quest and the water parks.

It is strange that in the US you can only get a maximum of 10 day tickets. When travelling from the UK, you can get a 7 or 14 day pass. It might be worth your while to see if you can buy from the UK.

If the OP could buy off the UK site (I'm guessing they can't), then they would be paying in British Pounds. With the exchange rate at $1.56 to the pound, they would be paying quite a hefty sum extra for their tickets.

The cost of the UK 14 Day Ultimate Tickets (which include Disney Quest, Water Parks etc.) are around £260, which works out at around $400, so they'd be A LOT cheaper. My suggestion would be to use one of the UK online TA and order the tickets through them if possible.

Anyone can use brand new U.K. 14 and 21 day tickets.

But if you receive a voucher, which might look almost the same as a ticket, proof of U.K. residence is needed to turn in the voucher and get a ticket issued.

Another vote for AP instead. A big bonus with that is there are discounts everywhere, from room discounts, to merchandise, to food.

This or this , 10 day hopper costs less than annual pass and definitely enough time in the parks. Those other two days are water park_DD_Mini Golf_Boardwalk_chill out at the resort days!!

I would be the tickets with water park option and add those to the trip. But first I would look at buying the AP and see if that can get you a room discount.

UK has 14 and 21 day passes. These are available for purchase only in the UK.

WPF&M includes both water parks, Disney Quest, Wide World of Sports, and Oak Trail Golf (which is a nine hole Executive walking course). The miniature golf courses are not included.

Right...and I never indicated mini golf was included in WPF&M, I was just offering alternatives to the parks on those other two days.

I don't know if you will have a car on your trip, but if you do, another bonus of the AP is free parking.

Man, I wonder why only the UK is offered the 14 day and 21 day tix? Not fair

From what I understand, for the distance traveled, they're going to typically do longer trips while Americans tend to do shorter ones. Many UK guests stay offsite (check the number of villas in places like Windsor Hills that are owned from the UK) and Disney tries to keep them on property as much as possible since they're not necessarily staying onsite.

OP, I'm going to suggest you just do the 10-day ticket route if you're fairly sure you're not doing a return trip in 12 months for two reasons:

1) Look at your arrival and departure days, which may not lend themselves to park-going. We typically do DTD or a special resort dinner on the first night so we can be well-rested for our first full day. Do a character meal, Hoop De Doo, visit the Boardwalk, or something like that.

2) If you do the WP&M option, you can make as many as 10 trips to water parks or DQ for just a little more than a regular single water park admission - and much less than an additional 2-day base ticket.

As an aside, I'm not sure what the OP's physical touring condition is. 12 park days in a 12 day trip would be very tough to pull off for all but the most hardy and commando tourist. I'd recommend the 10 day option too and for the OP to take it easy on two days and recover some of that strength. Well, if their whole family has been training for marathons or walking 10-12 miles a day, I guess they could probably do it. But Disney has tons of options for "off" days and days relaxing without going to the parks. With jet lag, all the walking, the temperatures, and the excitement; most people will hit that wall hard. 8-10 park days will give you plenty of time to experience most of what Disney has to offer and do your favorites as much as you'd like. If you do twelve full park days in twelve days, you'd likely need a vacation from your vacation as soon as you get back home.

But if it's a once in a lifetime trip, by all means train up and hit the ground running for all twelve days. For me, we'd have to have some down days in there somewhere or nobody would be having fun by day seven or eight.

EDIT: Looking back at the OP's signature, I do see they've been often. So maybe they DO know exactly what they are getting into and have built up the endurance for twelve parks in twelve days. For that, I could only tip my hat enviously at them. MY DW would murder me in my sleep after about eight of them. And as exhausted as I'd be, "in my sleep" might very well be by choking me with mouse ears in a resort bus on the way back from DHS or something, lol!
