Advice on which tickets to buy

[kmv]

We will be in Disney this June and will only have 4 park days. I had planned on buying our park hoppers today and our FP+ window will open Friday.

Then they came back out with the 4 park Magic Ticket! This would save me $436 (before tax) for our family (and yes, we are definitely on a budget).

The original plan was:
Day 1: MK all day/night
Day 2: AK day and play by ear evening (either stay at AK if we are feeling like it, back to MK or back to resort to swim and DS at night)
Day 3: Epcot morning (we aren't big fans) and MK late afternoon thru evening
Day 4: HS until we are done, back to resort

The 4 park Magic Ticket would take out us going back to MK, but it is the only park we really planned on hitting twice. I can't decide what to do!

4 days is a short trip to hop, plus saving all that money go buy the Magic ticket, EPCOT only new ride is frozen if you can live without it skip it and enjoy your trip!

The 4 day Magic Ticket is only good for admission to each of the 4 parks on a different day. You can't do 2 MK days.

I could not skip EPCOT with the 4 day Magic Ticket...the tickets gives you admission to each of the 4 parks once for 4 days. (1 day at each park)

I'm pretty sure you can go to any of them as long as it's a 1 park a day no hopping

never mind you are right

Yes, he/she said above that he would not be able to go back to MK if he/she got the 4 park Magic ticket.

I would go with the Magic ticket. That is a substantial savings. Is your MK day the day with the longest operating hours? You may want to maximize your time in MK if you aren't going back for a second day.

I had the same dilemma and I went with the 4 day Magic Ticket. Although park hopping always sounds like a great idea we never end up doing it because we are too tired. And I have older teenagers. I figured if we got there and we decided we needed the hoppers I could always upgrade the ticket at the park. Correct?

I would do the magic tickets and have MK the longest hours opening day

If you find you get done with a park early if you are staying at Disney the hotels have great pools with activities that are really fun and having a half day to rest (even on a short trip) can be very nice.
