Clarification - Park Hopper w Water Parks & More

[crowls]

Looking to the experts for some help.....we have an 8 day park hopper w/ WP&More option.
I thought (maybe mistaken??) that this gave me 8 days in the parks PLUS 8 admissions to TL , BB, etc. (ie. I basically had the max 14 days of entertainment). I was just informed this is not the case - it only gives me 8 days total...ie if I use it as admission to BB that is 1 less day I can go to the parks (in other words I think they were saying I have to do a park & BB on that same day if I really wanted 8 park days). Is this correct?? If I use it for admission to BB does that start the clock on my 14 days to use up the pass?

Everything About WDW Tickets

Water Park Fun & More (WPF&M) is a $59.00 option which can be added to any base ticket, whether adult or child, whether one day or ten days. Purchase of this option will add entitlements to the base ticket which are entries (or same day reentries) to the minor parks.

Oak Trail Golf Course is a nine hole walking "executive" course. Tee time reservations are required. Call 407-WDW-GOLF for reservations and more information. Each person who does not have their own set of clubs may rent a set, currently $15.00 per adult Guest per round; there is no charge for children under 18 years old to borrow a set of clubs. Bag carts can be rented.

Fantasia Gardens and Winter-SummerLand Miniature Golf can also be used once per day at each location, but it must be done prior to 4:00pm. In addition to entry at WWS you can get 30 minutes daily at the PlayStation Pavilion.

If the base ticket is 1 or 2 days you receive two entries. If the base ticket is more than two days you will get a number of entries equal to the number of days of the ticket.

Each initial entry into a minor park on one day uses an entry. This is true even if you have the "hopper" option, since that option only applies to the major parks. If you attend a water park in the morning, go to Oak Trail Golf in the afternoon, and Disney Quest at night of the same day you will have used three of your WPF&M entries.

Any day in which you go only to one (or more) minor parks and do not go to any of the major theme parks will only count as entries against the WPF&M option and will not use up a day of major park visits.

It is 8 park days (MK, HS, EP, AK) plus 8 "water park and more" visits.

So if you go to Typhoon Lagoon it counts as water park and more and does not take away from your 8 park days

You were thinking correctly. Whoever told you that you have 8 days total to use all the entitlements was wrong. And yes, if you use it at BB first, that's when the 14 day clock starts ticking.

Ditto and Ditto.

Also 8 + 8 = 16, not 14 BTW

Also 8 + 8 = 16, not 14 BTW

But the tickets are only good for 14 days.

Thanks everyone!! I think I had someone new on the phone.....although they had me confused - so glad you could clear it up. I am sticking w the 14 day plan...can't wait!!!

I think I had someone new on the phone...

I wondered if the info came from a "phone CM..."

Sadly, too many of them simply MAKE UP their own rules as they go along.
(No, I'm not kidding.)

Phone CMs are wrong more often than they're right. Never trust any information that you get from them.

Yes, have a great 14 days!!!


Word of warning though. Even though you have hoppers, if you visit more than one WPF&M option on the same day, you will use up more than one WPF&M visit.



Put another way, with an 8-day ticket, were you to visit Blizzard Beach AND Typhoon Lagoon every day for 4 consecutive days, you would then be out of WPF&M "visits".
