yup - no hopping with a day ticket. I am sure there are better deals then 3 single day tickets out there, I think there might even be a 3 day hopper
here you go, from wdwig
3 Day/3 Park ticket - Adults $149.10 (includes tax) Child, $117.15 (includes tax) expires 6 days from *purchase*. (1/03) You save $10 off the price of three single day tickets.
2 Day/2 Park OR 3 Day/3 Park ticket - These are the tickets that were originally known as "bounce back" tickets when they first came out. You can only purchase the 2 day and 3 day passes at a WDW ticket window or Guest Relations. You can not purchase them over the phone, at a
Disney store, at any Disney off property ticket source, or online. These tickets allow entry to only ONE PARK per day. You cannot park hop with these tickets but you can leave and return to the same park the same day. Be sure to get a hand stamp before leaving.
These are slightly cheaper than 3 one day tickets ($53.25 x3 = $159.75 so you save $10)
or you can get a
Four Day Park Hopper - Provides admission to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom on any 4 days, any combination of parks on a day. Visits with multi-day passes do not need to be consecutive and unused days never expire. Adults $211.95 with tax; Children Ages 3-9 $169.35, with tax. (1/03)
This doesn't save you anything but it gives you the flexibility of a hopper.
But, I am sure you know my feeling on tickets - 3 or 4 days is never going to be enough - get her to price a 10 day world ticket...
