8 Day Ticket/expiry...is This Even Possible ????

[paslea_pooh]

If you wanted to park hop but DID NOT have the park hopper option on your ticket would it take away from your days?

Example.. You will be at Disney for 6 days and want to park hop 2 of those days. Could you reasonably BUY an 8 day park ticket ?

Yes.

If you do not have a park hopper and you choose to visit a second park on the same day, you must use another "day" on your ticket.

 

[paslea_pooh]

Yes.

If you do not have a park hopper and you choose to visit a second park on the same day, you must use another "day" on your ticket.

Many thanks to you for your quick response.

This is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. UNTRUE. Dare I say WRONG.

This is a very commonly-asked question here on the DIS, but I must say it's the first time I've seen it answered incorrectly.

If you do not have the park hopper feature on your tickets, then there is NO WAY you can use the same ticket to enter two different theme parks in a single calendar day. The almighty Disney computer will not allow it.

Let's say you have a 6-day non-hopper. On Day 1 you go to MK, and later that day want to go to Epcot. You go to Epcot, put your card into the turnstile, and it will not register -- you will not be permitted to enter.

Disney is smarter than all of us put together. They wouldn't offer extra days beyond 6 days or so at $2 a day, but then charge $40 for park hopping.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to me and the others who will undoubtedly post after me -- you can't use an extra "day" on a non-hopping ticket to visit a second park in a single day.

CleveRocks is 100% correct.
If you wanna hop you gotta have a hopper- (or a day on a separate park pass.)

 

[bicker]

Yup, CleveRocks is correct: You cannot park hop without getting a park hopper or two completely separate park passes.

YEP. Only way to park hop is to have the park hopper ticket or two different tickets. However if you have the water park and more fun option you can go to a Water park and a major park. With that option you can also go to two water parks in the same day, using two of the Water park days also.

Yes.

If you do not have a park hopper and you choose to visit a second park on the same day, you must use another "day" on your ticket.

I hope the OP comes back to read this to discover your answer is incorrect.

THIS CANNOT BE DONE.

Per allears ticket FAQ:

Am I allowed to use two days off of my MYW Base ticket (non-hopping) if I decide I want to go to a second park on the same day as the first?

No you are not. The tickets are sold and the computer system is based on the number of days you have, not the number of park visits. Once you have used a non-park hopping ticket at any park, the computer system will not let you use it at another park on the same day.

Makes complete sense.

To the OP, We never park hop (even though we have AP's and can do it). We like spending an entire day in one park. For us, it's way too much trouble to go to two parks in one.

During our trip on 7/28-8/13/06 we did however almost go to AK one last time to ride EE. The kids (DD14 & DS8) were the one's who said no they were too tired and would rather go to DTD????????? Figure that one out.

And for us its the opposite.
We have AP's and have never NOT hopped.

Do an AM EMH depart in 3 hours or so, lunch, shop, another park in late PM and evening.

In the winter months we can see Fantasmic! at 7pm, then ride the boat to Epcot and see IllumiNations at 9pm (or 9:30pm) on the same night.
