I seem to remember somebody telling me that the computers wouldn't let us do it, but that doesn't make sense to me. If it's a 10-day MYW pass, and you go to the Magic Kingdom in the morning - that's one day, leaving 9. Then, you want to go to Epcot for supper that same day, can't you do it - with the understanding that it uses another day, leaving 8. If you have the hopper option, going to both parks would be considered a hop, but without the hopper option, it's considered 2 park days. So, why wouldn't this work, or be allowed? :confused3
 
A base ticket is one major (theme) park per day. You are allowed to re-enter the same park if you leave it on one day, but it can only be used at the one park.

Note that the ticket will state on it either "Not Valid For Park Hopping" or "One Theme Park Per Day". That should be a hint.

If you put the ticket in the turnstile of another park the display on the Guest side of the turnstile will be "ACCESS DENIED". The top line of the display on the Greeter side will give information about the ticket, and the second line of the display will say "CROSSOVER NOT PERMITTED". The turnstile will not unlock.

This is because Disney charges $5.00 per day over four days on a ticket, but charges $54 to allow hopping. It does not make economic sense for Disney to allow this.


If you actually have multiple tickets (more than one physical ticket per person) as opposed to multiple day tickets, you can use these tickets for multiple entries. But it makes absolutely no economic sense as a separate ticket costs a lot more than adding hopping to a ticket.

Or, as I recently told a Guest who was arguing with me about using a different day on the ticket:

The turnstile computer thinks today is Friday. The turnstile computer at the other park also thinks today is Friday. The two turnstile computers talk to each other. If you can convince this turnstile computer that today is not the same Friday as the other computer thinks, it will let you in.
 
10 day MYW ticket means just that 10 days,if you want to do 2 parks in one day you need to shell out the money for the hopper option.
 
this is because adding an extra day after 5 days is so cheap. everyone would just buy 10 day tickets, instead of buying the hopper.
