3 Day Parkhopper or 4 Day no hopper?

[Rebecca Pocahontas]

I was looking up the prices of the passes for Disneyland and a 3-day Parkhopper pass is $295. A 4-day with no park hopper is $280. If I was going to Disney for 3 days couldn't I just do this:

day 1: Disneyland
day 2: California Adventure
day 3: Disneyland & California Adventure

Are you allowed to use 2 passes on the same day?

Unfortunately, no. In order to visit both theme parks on the same day using one ticket, you'll need the park hopper option. (Alternatively, if you have two separate tickets, you could enter both parks without the hopper option, but that is rarely (if ever) cost effective.)

It looks like the OP is saying she does want to use two SEPARATE tickets on day 3 and it would cost less. I don't know why you couldn't but I really don't know for sure.

 

[figment_jii]

Maybe, but I took it as she was asking if she could buy the 4-day non-hopper and use it to enter two parks on one day.

Oh, I think you're right. Confusing.

I'm not sure you would be able to do that, because you don't actually have a separate ticket for each day. You have one ticket you use the whole time. So I doubt they'd let you use it for two parks, because they wouldn't know you weren't going to use the 4th day.

No, you can't use 2 ticket days on the same day.

3 day park hopper is the way to go, gives you flex options on all three days anyway.

If you want to save a bit, buy your tickets through Ares travel... lots of people on here do. I used way.com, but Ares has them beat by just a couple of bucks per ticket.
Currently, Ares has 3-day park hoppers at $282 (Disneyland website has them at $295)
3 day 1-park-per-day $240 (DL $255)
4 day 1-park-per-day $265 (DL $280)
4 day park hoppers $305 (DL $320)

I would never go to Disneyland without park hoppers. You never know when 1 park will be super crowded out of the blue or when ride closures will occur. Give yourself the flexibility to hop back and forth!
