HOPPER PASS and MAGIC BANDS

[jltdone]

Ok this might be a real silly question but here goes.
If I buy a 5 day park hopper pass ( No water Parks), how does it know that I am using a hopper pass for that day and not take a day park " ticket " away.
So say I go to HS on Monday morning swipe my magic band, that would use one of the 5 park day passes leaving me with 4. Then I go to MK in the evening then swipe my magic band again will it take another day park pass away leaving me with 3.

Because you bought the park hopper option. Besides, you cannot use more than one park day on a ticket per day. For example, if you tried to enter a second park in a day and you DID NOT have the hopper option you would not be allowed entry.

You can't use another park day ticket on the same day you use another park day. The system prevents that or everyone would do it and not buy park hoppers because it would be cheaper to just add another day onto your stay.

So it wouldn't use two park day tickets on the same day even if you wanted it to

so if I was there for 5 days, I couldn't buy a 10 day ticket no hopper pass and go to 2 parks per day.

That is correct. 1 ticket per day only.

very good to know, I almost looked at that route. 10 day tickets and then if we did 2 parks then just use 2 tickets.
If I do buy a 5 day park hopper pass then decide to go the parks on the 6th day can I still buy the 6th day at the very reasonable cheap price that they are offering now?

Yes you can buy the extra day. I believe you have to add the day before you use the last day. Here is the link to the all about tickets post:
