Adding Hopper to Tickets

[LuvinDisney83]

Help!
I have a room only reservation as I have an annual pass. I bought standard 7 day passes for the rest of my family. With not knowing if we would need hoppers or not I just bought standard tickets. Does anyone know with the price changes if I will have to pay the ticket increase plus the hopper price to add hoppers once there or will I just be able to pay the hopper upgrade price if we need it added? TIA!!

You should only have to pay the hopper add on price.

I bought Base tickets for the first time ever on our last multi-day trip. It wasn't bad just doing one park each day. I thought I'd hate it, but it works fine. You may just try to work it so you don't have to pay the extra for hopping.

If the tickets were purchased directly from Disney at the former gate price (not part of a package), they won't be price bridged to the current rate when adding the park hopper option. You'd pay the difference between the former 7-day 1-park-per-day tickets and the current 7-day park hopper tickets.

If they were purchased at a net rate or discount rate (AAA, Undercover Tourist, TicketsAtWork, cast member discount, etc, etc), they can be price bridged to the current value prior to the upgrade.

We originally didn't think we'd end up hopping, however since buying the tickets we've changed from Carribean Beach to Poly. With being on the monorail I imagine we'll end up hopping to MK in the evenings.

That's a huge bummer! Hopefully we won't end up needing to hop but I have a feeling we will need to...

I believe the golden rule for this type of situation is to use the tickets once to enter a park and then add on the park hopper. Once they're used there's no more price bridging.
I'm sure others can weigh in if I'm incorrect.

Whether they're used or not, tickets purchased at a gate price aren't price bridged.

I meant if they were discounted tickets. My mistake for not including that in my reply.

Hopper is now $69 I believe - a stark increase from when it was $50 just last weekend.

Can someone please explain the water park and more option with a 10 day park hopper ticket.
We are planning 12 days of parks, do we, will we have enough tickets?
I don't understand the water park option, does that mean we can't go to a theme park at night?
