Base ticket vs. Park Hopper

[Vegaslover]

Hello! I need help. I have a WDW Package reserved for 5 days. 2adults, 1 child age 4. We upgraded the package with the park hopper option. Here's the thing, we will going to Sea World one day. How do Base Tickets work? Is it one ticket per day, use it or lose it, or if I don't use the one ticket since I'm going to sea world, does that mean I can use two park tickets in one day? I'm trying to decide if I even need the Park Hopper. I have never been to Disney and I'm confused.

Thanks

you ask a common question.

regular ticket (base ticket) you get admission to one park of your choice per day.

add park hopping and you can get into more than one park in a day.

no you cannot use extra days from a base ticket to park hop

tickets are good for 14 days from first use. so if you do not goto a park that day, you havn't used a day of tickets.

so if you are going for 6 days, 5 days at wdw and 1 day at sea world, you only need a 5 day ticket.

park hopping costs $50 no matter how many days you have on your ticket
