DisneyWorld tickets for single day DL visit.

[RickDis]

Hi. We were originally planning to visit DisneyWorld next year some time and were saving up for that vacation. Recently we found out we'll be in SoCal in a couple weeks however, so I thought we'd make the best of it and try to squeeze in a day at Disneyland.

I was pretty shocked though to find out it was nearly $700 for a family of 5 to do the 1-day park hop. I was at DL years ago and I didn't remember it being nearly so expensive.

Anyway, I read somewhere about using Disneyworld tickets at Disneyland, and I started looking at the non-expiring parkhopper tickets from Disneyworld. It looks to me like I can get 5 10-day non-expiring Disneyworld Parkhopper tickets for a hair over $3,000, and have it nearly 1/4 paid for by using just one of those days at Disneyland and not paying the 1-day admission.

Then I'd have tickets for at least 2 other Disneyworld vacations in the future. I can't see myself ever spending more than 4 days at a time touring the parks. If I go to Florida, I'll want to spend some time on the coast with the kids, and time off is hard enough to come by.

But I figured I'd better ask around before rolling the dice on this $3,000 strategy. Would it work to have the first use of your Disneyworld tickets be at Disneyland? I just feel like there's a good chance I might be missing something. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick

One day park hoppers are $125 at DLR right now, so for family of 5 that is $625.

You can use WDW tickets as you mentioned, but they need to have the park hopper option if you want them to be hoppers at DLR. The 10 day non-expiring park hoppers are $650 for each ticket. For a family of five that is $3250.

So, yes, that will work and could be a good option for you.

I know WDW tickets will work at DL but i did not think you could activate them there. I though first use had to be at WDW. Please correct me if i am wrong

We have bought 10 day WDW no expire tickets many times over the years. And yes, we have used these at DL for a day here and there.

It can be a good strategy.

The waterparks & more option only adds $22 per ticket and you get 10 visits! That's a deal! Even if the 10 regular park days get used, you can still use the pluses for years to come. We have done a waterpark and DisneyQuest in the same day.

I know it's a lot up front, but it's great when the next trip comes along and your tickets are already paid for.

Happy Planning!
