Can you upgrade ticket to park hop?

[123SA]

I am planning my 4th trip, me, DH, DD6, DS4. In the past, we bought park hoppers. However, I have only used it once --when fantasmic got rained out. Can I buy 8 day myw tickets without park hopping and then upgrade to park hopping after I have already started using them? I assume I'd have to pay for the whole 8 days even if it is day3 that I do the upgrade. My guess is is no I can't -- I can only add days.

Please -- this is an honest question. I am not trying to cheat Disney. Thanks for your help.

Yes you can! You are right that the cost is the same regardless but you can add features like park hopping or non expiration within IIRC 14 days of first use.

Sure, you can upgrate to a Hopper at any time.

Hopper is not a "per-day" option. Its per TICKET meaning it costs the same price (about $40) to add hoppping on a single-day ticket, or to get to hop any and every day on a 10-day ticket.

Is there any problem upgrading if the tickets are purchased from Ticketmania or Undercovertourist?

Not sure about these sources but guests getting tickets from AAA have reported having to pay a little more than the cost of the upgrade because the wholesale price AAA paid Disney for the tickets in bulk was less than gate price.

It should not matter if you have a discounted ticket to add anything.

They generally upgrade the tickets to "gate price" first - then charge you only for the second upgrade, which would be adding the features you want.
