Can you use two park tickets in one day?

[tinkarooni]

I'm sure that somebody has already figured this out and in some way they can't allow it. Instead of buying a park hopper, there is one day that we need to go to two different parks. With our package it is much cheaper to just buy an extra day than the park hopper. Can this be done? We would be going to MGM in the AM and Epcot at night using two different park admissions, two days on our tickets?

No you cannot do that with a multi-day non-hopping ticket. The only way to visit 2 parks in one day is to purchase the hopper option or use two entirely separate tickets (meaning physically separate tickets).

It's always much cheaper to add extra days than it is hopping (unless you have a very short duration ticket) -- it's not unique to your package. That's why you can't do it - Disney wants the $50 for hopping, not the $3 it would cost to add another day to your ticket.

Not in the manner you're referencing.

If they're the same ticket, no you can't. I suppose nothing would really stop you from buying an additional one-day ticket. But that's 80$ or something instead of 50$.

Thanks guys, I figured somebody had already tried this.

Yeah, as the PPs have already stated, no. The ticketing system does not allow this since additional days are only a few more $$$ and much less than the ~$50 for a hopper upgrade.

A base ticket is one major (theme) park per day. You are allowed to re-enter the same park if you leave it on one day, but it can only be used at the one park.

Note that the ticket will state on it either "Not Valid For Park Hopping" or "One Theme Park Per Day". That should be a hint.

If you put the ticket in the turnstile of another park the display on the Guest side of the turnstile will be "ACCESS DENIED". The top line of the display on the Greeter side will give information about the ticket, and the second line of the display will say "CROSSOVER NOT PERMITTED". The turnstile will not unlock.

This is because Disney charges $3.00 per day over four days on a ticket, but charges $52 to allow hopping. It does not make economic sense for Disney to allow this.

If you actually have multiple tickets (more than one physical ticket per person) as opposed to multiple day tickets, you can use these tickets for multiple entries. But it makes absolutely no economic sense as a separate ticket costs a lot more than adding hopping to a ticket.

Or, as I recently told a Guest who was arguing with me about using a different day on the ticket:

The turnstile computer thinks today is Friday. The turnstile computer at the other park also thinks today is Friday. The two turnstile computers talk to each other. If you can convince this turnstile computer that today is not the same Friday as the other computer thinks, it will let you in.
