14 day tickets

[Wismgari]

Hi everyone - I have another question, sorry!!

I have the 14 day park tickets (the ones that say they are for the price of 7) - we are there Monday until the Monday 2 weeks later... which is 14 nights but obviously 15 days - this only occurred to me in the middle of the night the other night! If we don't go into the park on our first day there (as we won't be there until very late afternoon/ early evening as it is) will our park tickets then not activate until the next day and therefore enable us to go in on our last day of our holiday? I don't want to miss out on any day but especially not the last day there!

Every year I have used a 14 day ticket it has been valid 15 days or a 21 day ticket 22 days. The system allows you to use it one more than it should. Only exception is if you use it every day for 14 days, someone posted it can't be used on the 15th.
Saying that very few people go in on their first night, even on a direct flight by the time you have got thru immigration, got a car/transfer, checked into hotel & unpacked, had a bite to eat you are probably a little late for a park, remember if it is 7pm, you're on UK time of midnight. Only once we did a park on arrival and that was Xmas day, couldn't miss that.
We rarely go in a park on the day we fly, have done a couple of times but more hassle than its worth for me.

Thank you for that - I was only thinking of going the first night as I have never been before and am so excited to go in and see MK! We are flying direct on the earliest flight we could get, but yes it will still be pretty late by the time we get there and will be a long day - just would be nice to have the option to go if we wanted to! I think we are planning to be at a park every other day of our trip (even if it is for part of the day only) so guess I would be best avoiding the first night however much I want to go!!

If its your first trip I would definatley wait until the next day - it is too much to take in on arrival day.

You are better off unpacking, grabbing a snack and exploring your resort for a bit then have a good nights sleep ready to go the next day.

We head to MK on arrival night when we stay at BLT but only as it is walking distance and we usual grab a bite to eat and have a wander round however we have APs so not restricting ourselves to not being able visit another day.
